I suppose it was a matter of time before they started automating returns at FedEx. They now have a similar machine that Amazon/Whole Foods does. I feel for the remaining employees. #kinkos #automation

New Pope just dropped

Just learned about casting director extraordinaire Allison Jones. Among her achievements are Freaks and Geeks, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Veep, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place, and What We Do in the Shadows!

I finally made my own chicken Tikka Masala from scratch! Take that Whole Foods!

I like bluesky's 'what's up? prompt. 😊

Creative friends, advice from a believer of your work and value

Don't let your client dictate how long something should take.

Stand your ground and walk away if they insist.

It won't get better, trust me.

Good work takes time.
Work with clients that know it.

Don't know who needs to hear this but if you're mad at Meta (and I'm betting most of you are), don't just uninstall the app or deactivate your account–restrict your personal data outside the apps!

As a designer with ADHD, I'm moved by interest, novelty, urgency, challenge, and passion. In contrast, neurotypical folks use rewards, importance, and consequences to push them forward.

Two things about me:
1. I'm Gen X NorCal Sagittarius male
2. My friends are mostly strong, amazing women.
3. Moonlight as cultural anthropologist (memes)
