Anyone else feeling a little extra smug and superior re: allistic nonsense lately?

Are you overwhelmed but want to do your part and speak up? I know lots of people struggle with fear of phone calls. This could help. I fed ChatGPT an article about the recent unconstitutional power grab by our incoming admin. I asked it to write 3 phone scripts to use for calling representatives.

As a professional designer, I would like to announce that I am breaking up with the Chocolate Box font and its similar rip-offs, and I think most others should, too. It’s been worn out and lost all its freshness. It’s become thoroughly basic-gauche, and I care too much for you to reserve comment. 1/

Trivial perhaps, but I finally have the bedroom I want, at least. No more beige bro wrinkling his nose at color and liveliness for me. The gold comforter and fuchsia curtains and bright fun rug can remind me of at least a few gains to come from an otherwise cruel situation. Long live color.

Adding a couple of #logodesign projects for local #asheville #northcarolina businesses to my blog. Here’s one. Both of my latest have hand-drawn elements, and this one has a block print vibe.

Just published a deep dive article about why I left #acuityscheduling to switch to #breely after years of being an Acuity expert and setup specialist. Check it out if you use online scheduling/class bookings in your business. #squarespace #smallbusiness

Lefties, progressives, and everyone with values sitting generally left of fascism need to practice extra vigilance about psyop/propaganda strategies like this in the coming years. Don’t let these chuckleheads confuse our sense of basic morality and justice.

#squarespace babes, halp? @insidethesquare.co *ahem* 😉 Is there a way to get rid of this line where the section background peeks through under a transparent PNG image block set to “fill”? See screenshot. Section border style is *not* active, and this isn’t the first time I have seen this. Thx 💜🌈

Omg y’all. I just made Thanksgiving soup with homemade turkey broth and A ROUX MADE FROM STUFFING. This is quite possibly the best idea I have ever had. It was unbelievable. See approximate recipe below.

Wow. This video is truly eye-opening. Take a couple minutes to watch this. A mind-boggling visual representation of wealth inequality in America. This sh*t ain’t workin’, folks. #TaxBillionaires #UnionsForAll

#logodesign with hand-drawn elements, in progress for a local client

Well, isn’t that convenient? Musk gets named to the fake department of DOGE, and suddenly NASA’s future is up for debate—just as SpaceX is poised to cash in. Funny how “efficiency” seems to mean redirecting public funds straight into private pockets.

Wish more people realised that for most art businesses, there's only one person doing all the work. Creating, shipping, admin, promotion, starting feuds with other artists, painting unflattering portraits of them into historical scenes, trying to poison them, it's all one person.
