In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

This can be said of all the DesignersRepublic stuff as well but I think it's fun that Marathon's modern take on it and contemporary trends in sneaker design both have these biotech elements in the middle of their venn diagram

A blank 2025 full year calendar.

A filled in 2025 full year calendar.

In 2025 I put up a full year calendar that I designed and this is how it turned out at the end of the year! I really enjoyed having the analog ritual and love looking at the entirety of it. I'm excited to do it again in 2026!!!

Strange Jigsaws!

A shirt from a game of Tee K.O. with a badly drawn picture of a Poliwhirl and the text "I'll have what she's having".
