That horror trope of “person gets a magic potion to make them skinny but has to stop taking it or starve to death.” Is now real.

The funny part is GLP1s are great at craving addiction, but what if “I’m so skinny!” IS the addiction?

Let’s talk about that chestnut about only having to run faster than your friend, not the bear.

This only works if the bear stops to eat, or there’s only one bear, or if you’re allowed to run.

Clarity builds momentum.

@heyculligan.bsky.social described working with Orcana as "the best of both worlds." The flexibility of a small agency combined with the polish of a big one. That balance builds trust, sustains speed, and makes clarity real.

Every team is being asked for more video. More formats. More versions. More speed. The problem isn’t demand. It’s the systems built to deliver it. We’ve been building a new way forward. Stay tuned.

Hot take: Data only shows you the what.

It doesn’t build the why.
Design, story, and user experience give your product its soul.
That’s where brands earn trust, not just attention.

Curious how to bridge the gap between what users do and what they remember?

I just had a very specific memory of evacuating my high school because of a bomb threat.

We were bombing Iran and I went to The American School in London.

Revisited some old favorites on Spotify who had been filtered out.

Morphine is still excellent

It Could Happen Here episode with Mike Duncan talking about our current times repeating history and mirroring his fictional Martian Revolution.

I have spent many hours listening to these two podcasts.

Worlds who coexist in my mind now made real! Questions answered!

Mainstream media, memes making fun of Trump, not shining a bright light on your insides when you get sick, and avoiding brain eating worms.

Never before have I paid my taxes and thought “they are just going to take my money and give it to themselves”

No one died when the Titanic hit the iceberg, it was the subsequent events that killed people.

We just drove straight into the iceberg on purpose.

Trans Visibility Day

I am celebrating by sharing this in progress “Visibility Quilt”.

When the light shines through you gain more insight.

They are celebrating International Women’s Day here and it feels like a gut punch every time I see a sign.

I need a new passport.

I am terrified to send it to the State Department.

Happy Tuesday.

The SNL50th anniversary show feels like we all went to the Kit Kat Club for one last show.

I started reading The Sirens Call but I was distracted by my phone alerting me to the dismantling of our world.

Trump took your analysis of a problem in our culture and turned it into a ProTip.

Remember in 2020-21 when all the low paying jobs were being done by people with 15 years of experience?

Tell your high school and college kids that summer jobs are going to be hard to find.

I just watched The Substance then caught Cher on the SNL50 anniversary show.

Coincidence?
