Agreed. Pretty nuanced topic.

A good convo on a tricky subject with the Design Better crew. A bit more here on career, workflows, and the value of writing and critique as skills in a design career. Thanks to Aarron Walter & Eli Woolery for inviting me. open.substack.com/pub/thecurio...

Took me a minute but I finally posted my draft. Something I've been meaning to get to for awhile, about taking care of my mom. cassiebegins.medium.com/maybe-caregi...

I have a zillion drafts on Medium and I am excited to use Draft Day this Friday to finish at least ONE of them. Join me, let's hang out and write! blog.medium.com/your-story-m...

A sturdy denim looking (but soft) fabric cushion, long and plush with nice straight seams.
It’s very nice to make something by hand every now and again, and I am proud of this cushion I made. She’s simple, but sturdy.

Found this behind mom’s dresser while moving her in this week. Throwback to anyone who was in Ohio 13 years ago
22.03.2025 13:00 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 3 📌 0Thank you. Yes I think with this particular thing I’d rather err on the side of caution. It just doesn’t help that my provider’s name is Dr. Love 😂
20.03.2025 03:09 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I wonder if 12mo makes more sense. I’m on 6mo but often wonder if that is privatized care speaking. Lots of scary posters in my drs office have me thinking about the alternative as well!
19.03.2025 19:14 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I have to do 6mo checkups for 2 years, after that it goes back to the regular 1 year check ups. I should have one more of these if all is still normal. And yeah, I think it’s a combo of no history, plus age and slightly non-average anatomy. Good luck with your tests!

An email notification from Medium telling me Harris Sockel has highlighted a line from one of my stories
There’s nothing I like more on social these days than a highlight notification.
✔️Someone read a thing I wrote
✔️ It meant something to them
✔️ They wanted to share back with me, the writer
No ego or manipulation. In its simplest form it’s connective & interrogative. We need more spaces like these.
Final inspection tomorrow for the accessible addition we built for my mom. Permits were approved Mar 1, 2024 after a long battle with the city. A million tiny decisions & sacrifices since.
In some ways the journey is just beginning. Still some bits to finish. But I’m proud of this. Lifetime proud.
Omg this exactly. It was excellent, so glad we did that 🖤🖤🖤

Really amazing how the design team showed up everywhere. Customer interview, evening deep dive on influence, incredible design experiences for everyone (diy screenprint), sharing culture, leading important projects. Hashtag greatest.
07.03.2025 12:00 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Something people won’t know about Medium is that we have absolutely world class offsites. I’ve never seen or been a part of better ones, and this last in Newport was the best. This is almost entirely courtesy of @brikolson.bsky.social But don’t steal him, he is very beloved here. Thank you Brik.

Hello Newport
03.03.2025 15:23 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I love interviewing. And I hate it. It‘s amazing to meet so many inspiring people, & terrible that I don’t have options for everyone.
Medium attracts people w/ heart & this process is so gruelling for them, I know. Keep writing & sharing. The heart is infectious and always worth something.
