I was thinking about yesterday how after all this is done how much different folks will look at what small business have been doing in response to the occupation vs big business and corporate and what that means for how folks spend their dollars in the future.

man, share the memories you have about your people now. don't wait; just, like make that a regular thing. tell them why they matter to you all the fucking time. and tell them beautifully, poetically, the way you would reminisce about them. because that beauty is important.

I’m so sorry. It’s a tricky situation to navigate for sure.

All is pretty good here. Last week was busy so over the weekend I disconnected from email as much as I could. I got myself outside a lot. Feeling ready for the week. How are you doing?

What 15 years of design debt looks like

A really confusing parking payment machine that has dozens of options that all seem to have a different user interface and no consistency whatsoever.

Ah dang. I’m so sorry. I hope your search for your next opportunity is going well. Shout at me if I can help or if you’d like to catch up on life over adult beverages. I’m laid off too so I have some free time.

I finally bought a printer to replace one so ancient there were no drivers at all anymore and I just need to scan some documents but the ink is low and like ... what the fuck 🤬 is this just how we're living now???

A comic by System32Comics: a computer is saying "Hey printer, can you please print this document?"
Printer: warning: Low on cyan.
Computer: Don't worry it's just a black and white text—
Printer: No, fuck you, low on cyan.

Here’s my two cents on the tacky wedding of Bezos. Y’all about to complain into the ground about what was spent ($50 million) and who was there. BUT yet again are you still BUYING from Amazon or any other rich person company? We make them RICH remember that not the other way around.

The first death cafe hosted at our funeral home is Friday, Sept 5, at 6pm. Tea, wine, coffee & light nourishment provided. And Death - beautiful conversations on the common denominator that connects us all. We'll push it out there mid summer, but message if you want to stay in the loop! EXCITING.

Are people that are on Threads & Bluesky using them differently? Or are people just randomly posting in whatever app they have open when inspiration hits?
