I've been trying out @anthropic.com 's #claude this week. The Projects section allows me to have several chats going simultaneously (great for research + brainstorming), and knowledge base is great to set the tone, foundational notes, etc. to build off of. 1/3
Screenshot of Claude AI Project interface. Title of the project is "LLC Branding + Scaling." There are a few related chat titles: "Ecommerce Pricing for First Print Run," "Revising Your Creative Portfolio Page," "Crafting a Vibrant, Lighthearted Brand for Greeting Cards," and "Transitioning from XR to Handmade Artwork." 

In the right box is "Project Knowledge" with a few attached documents: "Tone Example (Newsletter)", "Tone, Theme, Characteristics," and "2025 04 April Ecommerce.xlsx"

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead” even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.
On her first day in the facility, Becky asked for a scrap of paper and a pen, and began to draw the inmates on the table next to her. She was immediately inundated with portrait requests. A Mexican woman called Lopez, who had a photo of her children stored on one of the iPads, told Becky she would buy her some paper and colouring pencils from the commissary if Becky drew her kids. She soon became the dorm’s unofficial artist-in-residence, with women huddling around the dirty mirrors to make themselves look presentable before they sat for her. They would decorate their cells with Becky’s drawings, or send them to their families. Lopez declared herself Becky’s manager. “She kept saying, ‘Becky, you need to ask for stuff in exchange. Ask for popcorn.’ And I’d be like, ‘Lopez, I don’t need anything.’ I thought, I’m here briefly, you’re stuck here a long time. I’m not going to take your food away from you.”A three by three grid illustrating in blue pen cartoon portraits of women in an ICE detention center. “Mrs Kailey,” Bana, Lewelyn, Ikram, Asil, ‘Auntie,’ ‘F.Z,’ Kseniia, and “P.A.” Two have light hair, three have glasses, one wears a hijab, one poses, and one holds a drink.
