Any tips or advice on when you have a creative epiphany, a feel, a mood, but you can't get started yet (because you're out, you're at work, you're traveling etc.) and then you get all your stuff ready and it's gone?

I'm still waiting for ICE to content warning before they fuck up people's lives and yet.

Wayment, latinx folks are being expected to CW posts about ICE?????????????????

I used to think designers and art directors were dramatic and then I started working with developers.

"Guerrilla, why do you wanna move to Helsinki so badly?"

Because only in Helsinki can you get The Cure, Ville Valo and Agents, and Solange are performing at the same fucking festival.

My best friend in the whole wide world, brother from another mother lost his full time job today.

If you have the means and this floats your boat, help him make ends meet until he finds a new one: https://www.twitch.tv/kurohitsuki

He also streams Magic and Siege every night if you'd like to subscribe!

I am allowed to love myself. I am allowed to celebrate myself. I'm allowed to have a big head about myself. Because who else will, if not for me? I am seen as a black woman and people project their views and worth onto me because of it. I don't have time to wait for other people who give me my dues lmao

Why libraries are the greatest places on earth:

- books
- free!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- quiet, so quiet, so peaceful is heaven
- people leave you alone
- also movies and computers and things
- staff literally know everything and want you to know everything thanks
- you can stay the whole time they're open and not have to pay anything at all
- you can get lost in the big ones and that's cool
- mmm smells of wisdom

Call Outs: This person that we know did something bad and I tried to talk to them privately and it didn't work so be careful in your interactions with them.

Cancelling: This business funds white supremacists so don't give them money.

If you equate call outs with canceling, just admit that you don't want people to be held accountable for their behavior and you want them to be able to continue their cycle of bad behavior with new, oblivious victims.

Call outs are not the same as canceling.

My professional skillset:

project management, brand development, digital and print design and production, accessibility in design, photoshoot and event branding consulting

Real or The Onion?

Real:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jul/09/amazon-microsoft-war-cloud-pentagon-contract-battle

Me: *existing, being my cutey pie self and trying not to have a care in the world*

The world: Amazon and Microsoft compete for contract to build "war cloud" for the Pentagon

Friendly reminder that MLK wasn't concerned about the KKK. He was concerned about the fucking moderates who are dedicated to order and peace at the expense of justice. It's the fucking moderates who are the worst.

All marginalized folk ever: Slurs are bad, you agree?

Liberal dudebros: Yes.

Us: So using them when you cannot reclaim them, naming a product or system after a slur, is also bad.

Liberal dudebros: Well actually!!!
