I quietly graduated college a few weeks ago—just a design degree, didn’t walk, haven’t told anyone until now. Growing up an orphan meant stability wasn't a thing, so my path was anything but straight. Took 16 years & 6 programs, but I finally made it. Felt right to say it, even just here to nobody.

I'm using OpenAi API to create a chat for my clients to simulate conversations and practice user objections. I'll pull from real questions on Quora, Reddit, and forums. I'll use the data to help them improve their tone and voice and also capture how they speak to people. Good stuff for copywriting

I'm doing some research for some blog articles on routines and neurodiversity using Google AI Studio (excellent research tool)
I've reinforced my conclusion that: Freud was right, It's our parents fault. It always has been.

I’m one class from finishing my degree—15 years off and on. Turns out design was always my thing. The moment I stopped following what others wanted and trusted myself, everything clicked. Follow your passions.

Since 2009, I’ve attended 6 colleges, changed degrees 5 times, and earned over 300 credit hours—without a degree. But I finally found my passion: solving user problems in digital spaces. With just 1 class left, that story will change. Keep going, find your path, and surround yourself with support!

I really hope the Mavs' size shows up tonight. As Iztok points out below, the Mavs could use their pace and energy to push a 7-8 man, top-heavy rotation to its limits. This year's Mavs have shown how smothering that energy from guys like PJ and Naji can be.

A lot of interesting storylines in there. Including Dallas facing demons of defending vs 5-Out offenses, against the best NBA offense and best pick-and-roll duo in Brunson & Towns.

Design friends, I'm struggling with creative ideas for a mobile menu button! I want something playful for a play therapist’s site targeting parents of kids but worry users won’t recognize it as the menu. How have you approached this? How did you make sure it was intuitive?

Mavs win 3 in a row for the first time this season, climb above .500. So, of course I had fun making notes even in a blowout win against the patchwork Pelicans.

Sometimes I wonder what motivates non-coffee drinkers to get out of bed.
Probably some sort of pulley system.

Always the best pre and post Mavs coverage from Iztok! We are spoiled as MFFL's with amazing creators and journalists.
With everything New Orleans is going through, my Mavs-Pelicans preview really should’ve just stopped after the subtitle: 'Don’t forget about Utah.'
Couldn’t help myself, though—still put together a quick preview for diehard #MFFL 😂

What about tech bros running 'mental health' startups that exploit the community for profit? They force meds, underpay therapists, and create revolving-door workplaces. These companies turn struggles into revenue streams, harming care and undermining the true purpose of mental health support.

Finishing my design degree, I’ve realized the industry is overloaded with unnecessary steps that inflate costs. Designers end up billing for low-impact tasks, pricing out clients on tight budgets. With AI tools simplifying things, it’s clear: sometimes less really is more.
