The image is a first-person shot of an electrical worker holding out their two hands, which are heavily stained black with grime from their manual labor, toward the camera. The worker is wearing casual work attire including a grey fleece jacket, stained khaki work pants, and work boots, and is standing on a paved outdoor worksite. Overlaid text at the top of the image reads: '15 years ago today, I quit my retail job and started working in electrical installation. Depression and severe alcohol abuse gone. I collapse into bed completely exhausted but happy, sleep like a baby, and get up at 4 a.m. looking forward to honest work.' Text at the bottom of the image adds: 'Without exaggeration: that decision saved my life.' The post shares a positive personal story of career change leading to drastically improved mental health and life quality.

This photograph shows a large, handcrafted solid wooden bathtub made from planks of natural wood, with visible grain and knots, and a smooth finished surface. The empty bathtub is placed outdoors on grassy ground scattered with fallen leaves, next to a wooden fence and ivy-covered foliage. This bathtub is an example of work made by a 38-year-old carpenter who left corporate life, overcame depression, and started a new self-employed career.
