Oh no, I disagree, titles are of paramount importance #LinkedInLunatics

I've always felt that a person is more important than a title. What about you?

Didn’t expect to be this close to Nina West this evening, but I’m not complaining! @ninawest.bsky.social

Hey Joe, you don't know me personally, but I wanted to work with you. I've got a system I'm using that's helping me send 4,000 Linkedin DMs every single month, consistently close 3-5 clients, and I wanted to see if I could help you do the same. Open to chat?

If you’ve ever asked yourself “how could a cybertruck be worse,” I have quite the answer for you.

Was excited to find a local print shop, then read this. Pass.

Are you tired of customer service being available only through an 800 number, and then handled by someone who can hardly speak English?

I’m imagining a song called “Your Paragraph Text Goes” and these are the lyrics.

A screenshot of a website with the following paragraph:

Your Paragraph text goes Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Autem dolore, alias, numquam enim ab voluptate id quam harum ducimus cupiditate similique quisquam et deserunt, recusandae. here

Before #SkinCancerAwareness month is up, I wanted to encourage everyone to see a dermatologist, especially if you notice something a little odd with your skin. Last year, I had a spot on my temple that turned out to be an early-stage basal cell carcinoma. Grateful we caught it so early.

Today, I’m wearing green for the third annual #DayOfTheHomeschooledChild. I “made it” as a closeted gay homeschooled student. Not everyone is so lucky. Nationwide, it’s legal to pull your kids out of school and start homeschooling them at any time, with almost no exceptions.

The hat has an otter pin, as well as a pride flag. He is also wearing clear-framed glasses and a green v-neck shirt.

When people use the phrase "add color," this is what I think of. parade.com/.image/t_sha...

I then went to lovable.dev. I used the same initial prompt. The design was plain and relied on emojis. But right away, lovable.dev asked me if I wanted to connect @supabase.com and also provide some project information.

"Welcome to Pink Wallet" is in a rounded pill display, in normal sized text. This is followed by "Come out and save" in hero-sized text. Then that is followed by "Keep up with West Michigan's LGBTQ+ community while getting exclusive discounts on local businesses and events." That is followed by a fuchsia button with "Get Started" as the text. Then there's a section with a header for Local Businesses. There are three businesses here: Good Judy's, General Wood Shop, and Lilith's Lair. Accurate information about all three places (including their locations and deals) are displayed.

First up, @bolt.new. I gave it this prompt: "I'm creating Pink Wallet. It's an app for the local LGBTQ+ community in West Michigan. For now, it's going to be an events, deals, and resources directory." Then I followed it with some marketing copy I generated.

A hero mockup of Pink Wallet. There's gradients of pink and purple. In the top left, there's a heart followed by "Pink Wallet." The tagline "Come Out and Save" is the hero text, followed by "Your guide to LGBTQ+ friendly events, deals, and resources in West Michigan. Be yourself and save while doing it."

This is followed by a white "Get Started" button with a sparkle icon. Next, there's an Upcoming Events section, followed by "Discover LGBTQ+ friendly events happening around West Michigan. From social gatherings to wellness workshops, there's something for everyone." This is followed by filters for All, Social, Arts, Wellness, Education, and Nightlife. Some sample photos are peeking at the bottom

A continuation of the screenshot in the previous image. There are three events: Queer Trivia Night, Pride Theater Workshop, and Wellness Wednesday. These are each followed by one sentence descriptions, dates, times, and locations.

At a free community wedding for six queer couples. 15 years ago, I was still super closeted. I couldn’t have imagined I’d be sitting here today, with my husband no less.
