Affinity is absolutely perfect for non-designer folks like me who need more than Canva and less than Adobe. Absolutely top-tier stuff 👏

If you see me use the words "leverage" or "streamline" in my work, know that I have done so with a heavy heart, perhaps some kicking and screaming too. If you see me use the word "utilize"... no you didn't. I wouldn't use it.

One of the lingering myths about content marketing is that it’s mostly a big-business thing. For big teams with big budgets that can afford to plan a quarter’s worth of content in advance, with production days and performance metrics to match. 🧵

Is freelancing better than working full-time? I’ve done both — freelanced for 10 years now, with a brief in-house detour + a couple of full-time jobs before that — and I can tell you: it depends. On so many things. 🧵

Being chronically ill is not lazy. Resting when your body needs it is not lazy. Saying “no” is not lazy. Taking care of yourself is not lazy. Ableism teaches us to guilt ourselves for respecting our body & its limits. Change the narrative. Taking care of yourself is powerful.

Saw the trailer for the new Final Destination movie and that's a HELL NO from me. Between the entire first movie, and the log truck scene in 2, I'm still traumatised from the franchise!

I don't want my appliances to be connected to the internet. I don't want them to have blinky lights or touch screen controls or be accessible by phone. All I want is for them to do the one thing they are supposed to do, and to beep less. Hear that, manufacturers? Less beeping.

People should probably learn the difference between “plot holes” and “things I didn’t like” or “things the franchise plans to explain in the future” or “things film makers didn’t think they needed to explicitly explain because they thought you had critical thinking skills”.
