A while ago I asked for recommendations for portrait photographers in London. I found a really good one, but lost the thread (other platform, deleted account) Soo… any good recommendations?

I honestly don’t know what I would do without @raycast.com - this isn’t an ad, more a self-warning that I should probably spend less time on my phone and not have to lean into super pacing my efficiency because I’m distracted all the time

@amtrak.com needs to bring this energy to bsky

So do people realize that we aren't building new train tracks when we expand the amteak network, I have multiple times seen people say that we shouldn't expand the network because it would destroy protected lands, which would be a fair criticism but Amtrak doesn't build new tracks, we use existing tracks. We are not destroying protected lands, we are using land that has already been clear for a century

amtrak-official

Also the alternative is more highways which destroy significantly more land for less capacity than railways. So the question is do you want to keep complaining about something that isn't happening and let the environment get damaged as a result or do you want to actually learn how things work

So, wait... Were the tracks not in use at all? Or was it like *only* commercial transport on those tracks? Either way, its good that amtrak will be able to use them again, but one would be much more frustrating

amtrak-official

Almost all rail tracks in the US are either abandoned or only used for freight rail at the moment

Jesus, we really have no excuse for having such a lackluster rail system, do we?

Sure we do! The US government hate both rail and you personally

If all the federal workers who have been fired, the remaining ones quit and just up and started another government, effectively creating a functional pseudo govt to restore the timeline? Is this anything?

The thing you want is just behind that thing that you don’t want to do. This single sentence has changed the way that I think about things so much in the past few months. I’m happier, calmer and achieving more, more efficiently. Who knew I was what was getting in my way all this time?

I started redefining my goals today because honestly, I was a little grossed out by what I had read. I’d been hit with a huge wave of self help notions like ‘make a million this year, you’re the only thing getting in the way’

I'm working on (surprise, surprise) folio again. and I couldn't figure out why this #design wasn't working, so I thought i'd go through a few steps publicly to get #productdesign feedback from the community.

Okay, so 1/3 projects on #contra done. I'm pretty happy with it, even though it's super simple, I think it clearly shows my value as a designer, building design systems and shifting design to balance form and function. contra.com/p/gYlrRrUc-l...

Stevie Rodger @stevierodger.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

So as part of my teardown of my profile on #contra I see a bigger problem - I haven't properly constructed a portfolio piece. I've just designed a flat slide in figma and pasted in images. This opens a whole range of problems, accessibility for one.

Stevie Rodger @stevierodger.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

So starting with the copy, I don't think I'm playing to my strengths, and i'm clouded in marketing mumbo-jumbo. I don't want to use the AI to generate.

Stevie Rodger @stevierodger.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

One part that i'm kind of confronting as part of this project, where i'm rebuilding #contra is that I start a lot of things, but lose myself in the execution. I have all the intentions in the world but I just need to get to the other side.

Stevie Rodger @stevierodger.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Then, The copy isn't really great - nor cohesive. and this is where I feel like I need to zoom out. (and where I usually get stuck) So.. what am I good at? What kind of designer am I?

Stevie Rodger @stevierodger.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

I'll break it down bit by bit. and start planning out what I will do, and how I will go about each part to make it more exciting. Firstly, My face. A memoji- probably isn't highlighting the level of professionalism I want. This means I should probably get some portraits done to raise the bar.

000

Stevie Rodger @stevierodger.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

I think overall, this page is a little dull. Non cohesive, no clear argument or value in my work showing. I'm not highlighting the value I do bring to projects.

000

Stevie Rodger @stevierodger.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

I'm going to start building up my #contra profile so that I can start building a profile. I think I will update in public, and so everyone can follow. I did say I was going to stop posting about politics and start talking about design tbf

Very good overview of the recent Romanian info ops: “797 of the accounts were created as early as 2016 and … were assigned unique IP addresses, indicating a deliberate effort to conceal the true scale of the network. This approach bypassed typical botnet detection patterns.”

When Steve Jobs said that the best managers are those who don't want to be managers; It meant that the ones who loved the work as ICs, not they didn't want to be managers because they're miserable muppets who hated everything. 👀
