LOL! Do you have kids, are you okay neglecting them?

Visionless workplace without a head that reacts to everything, focuses on nothing, and misinterpreted 996 as 24-7. Sign me up?

This has to be a joke.

How to lose a child Out of kindness: We’re talking about children’s deaths. This is Uvalde, painted by me in 2022. This week’s question comes to us from Chad Moore: What do you...

This week’s newsletter was difficult to write, so I imagine it’ll be difficult to read.

“I know deep down in my bones that it is hard to lose a child, because as a parent looking at another parent you recognize that parent is going through the thing you fear most in the world.”

It’s live!

This is my friends’ dog. She’s a sweet dog and she’s loose in SF and probably very scared. Please keep an eye out.

Do I (or do you?) know anybody who does commissioned digital art, is available, and can (with urgency) create an incredible, soft, ephemeral magical water painting-style piece?

While I know tons of incredible game artists I sadly never paid too much attention to their waterpainterly work.

+1 to cooking more. What kind of fat are you using?

Design Is a Job DESIGN IS A JOB A book about how to work by Mike Monteiro

Speaking of shipping and fascism, if you buy a Design Is a Job zine I promise it comes in non-Uline/non-Amazon packaging and it’s filled with lots of helpful information about not working for terrible people and surviving capitalism. Plus stickers. Lots of stickers. www.designisajob.com

Design books, pins, buttons, stickers, punk rock

I ordered some books to enhance my design knowledge, but it came buried under a bunch of bad ass stickers and pins.

That’s the punk rock equivalent of being hooked up with extra ribs by your aunty. Thanks for all the cool shit! @erikahall.bsky.social @monteiro.bsky.social

Native and Latina women: 58 cents

Women get paid less, but across racial lines the pay is even LOWER. This is #TheDoubleTax.
