When people comment how beautiful my dog is, I can only reply “thank you” as if I had any say in how she would look.
Anyways, here she is after rolling in mud last week.

Easily one of the worst parts about #AI is that subscription prices are increasing for features I don’t have time to learn/use but I’m paying quite the increase anyways.

the other day in a Teams meeting I chugged an energy drink off camera out of fear of judgement.
Then realised it looked like I was secretly chugging wine so

You've got to have a tough skin to be a designer:
Reading numerous comments about a game that isn't even released yet, with folks already calling it a 'tired, uninspired design'. Wow, thanks buddy, its not like I spent months working on the game, trying to balance publisher and IP wants.
Argh. 🎲✂️

Last day of #pride
Confirming that if my family hadn’t been openly homophobic as a kid:
- I wouldve realised I’m #bisexual
-I wouldn’t have hated other woman to avoid having feelings for them
-I would have saved myself years of grief, anger and severe depression
Don’t clip your own child’s wings!

Receiving support from family is vital to improved mental health for LGBTQ+ youth, according to findings from a recent survey conducted by national youth mental health organisation, headspace.

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?
#graphicdesign (and design in general) is being homogenised to the point that many logos look the same. The shift to minimalism started ~10 yrs ago, most likely to accommodate Web 3.0

More than half the CO₂ emissions of the Industrial Age have been pumped into the atmosphere since 1990.

Literally nothing is 'carbon neutral'. It is a physical impossibility. If someone's telling you their product has zero climate impact, they're actively deciding to lie to you.

My performance review in my first job:
“When asked how she’s feeling, Hillary often claims to be tired. Hillary should get more sleep in her personal time to be happy at work.”
Mate I was tired of their shitshowwww

I would make twice as much money if I had someone breathing over my neck but tbh I just like to nap every day
one downside to being your own boss is there’s no one to yell at you to get your shit done

Life is fantastic when the coffee hits.
Like, why can’t my body just make enough serotonin for me to feel like this all the time.
Probably a good thing actually bc I’d just end up texting everyone how much I love them every 6 hours or something weird

I think one reason right-wing art is bad is that it demands fealty when it recognizes something as good or important. Good art smashes the thing that came before it.

As a professional graphic designer, I consider this to be peak design. It catches my eye every time I walk by and makes me wonder why the beer is echoing at me.
I love it. Honestly. #graphicdesign

The American saloon here in Aus plays old country music which is great. But I truly believe blue grass is under played in comparison and is an excellent export of our culture 🤠

I just remembered I stayed up an hour later last night NOT doomscrolling but following the Everybody Loves Raymond subreddit.
I guess that’s progress for my mental health

Nice to know we can use this photo of Trump in a mood board for retro, earthy branding
Donald Trump's face color today registers as color hex #a98158, aptly named Dusty Amber.
Definition: Dusty Amber is a muted and earthy shade of orange, reminiscent of sunbaked clay and dried leaves...

I’m well educated and trust science.
But I have yet to hear ANYONE tell me why daylight saving is a good idea.
It’s 8pm. Summer. The sun is still out?? I’d rather have this extra hour of light in winter when I’m terribly depressed!

A government client is worried Arial is too recent for them and have asked that we stay safe and stick with Cailbri.
To be fair, they only just culled all the Times New Roman templates so they’ve only just switched to the early 2000s.

There’s a conspiracy theory that because the Super Bowl logos are released years in advance, the NFL chooses which teams will play to match that year’s logo.
As a designer i can confirm that is true. It is why we graphic designers are so wealthy you see. WE are the invisible hand of the economy.

If you went to college,
1. What was your career goal when you started?
2. Your initial major?
3. If you changed majors, what did you change to?
4. What do you do now professionally?
For me:
1. To become RN
2. Nursing (pre-reqs)
3. Changed to acctg/finance
4. Now, a change management consultant 🥴
