One of the saddest realities of an AI-driven future is that writers won’t be commissioned to write articles like The Upside Down Pineapple As A Symbol For Swinging Culture In Colonial America (Jan 2023) for wholesalenutsanddriedfruit dot com. wholesalenutsanddriedfruit.com/upside-down-...
The Upside Down Pineapple As A Symbol For Swinging Culture In Colonial America
The image of the Upside Down Pineapple was a symbol for Swingers to recognize each other In the American Colonies.

I’ll never be a real grownup because part of me believes wholeheartedly that I can fix anything in my life by buying a new pen and notebook or adopting another cat
Yesterday I had what I think might be my top career highlight thus far: granting the wish of kerning as The Fairy Fontmother as a part of a musical theater number in a costume I helped design in front of a massive crowd. www.instagram.com/p/DIT9cSZphh...
Today is my birthday (41!) and I have a birthday present request: Today I want you to: - visit a local shop and have a short and pleasant interaction with the person working there (purchase not required but encouraged) - spend 30-60 minutes making or drawing something with analog tools
Adding “, motherfuckers!!” to the end of any basic throw-pillow quote makes it amazing. “The eyes are the gateway to the soul, motherfuckers!!” “Live, laugh, love, motherfuckers!!” “The heart wants what the heart wants, motherfuckers!!”
This article is one of the best, most poignant, most real, most somewhat optimistic but realist things I’ve read in a while. www.itsnicethat.com/articles/eli...?
Elizabeth Goodspeed on why graphic designers can’t stop joking about hating their jobs
Designers are burnt out, disillusioned, and constantly joking that design ruined their life – but underneath the memes lies a deeper reckoning. Our US editor-at-large explores how irony became the ind...

I think I have to take a Ritalin break for a week every quarter so I can spend 72 hours obsessively posting to the internet about nonsense. Which has been my primary vehicle of biz dev since 2007.
I love that nobody* drinks now. How great is it to just have a little creative beverage that isn’t going to eff up your sleep or make you feel mildly depressed a few hours later *a select group within my age and socioeconomic bracket
One day I will make a one pager website documenting the passing of time via the billboards in San Francisco. I think I moved to SF right before “The Cloud” era. We’ve just tipped over from “Generalist AI” to “AI Agents”
In NYC for a few days if folks are around! (Let’s see if this works as a real time friend bat signal 💗)
Big news! We just launched the Studioworks Community Hub, which is free for everyone that has signed up for Studioworks (which is still pre-launch and free to sign up for!)—invites sent. I'm so excited to make this space the best place on the internet for creatives ❤️ studioworks.community

My 7yo told me I look like “a writer or graphic novel maker” and I’ve been riding high on this for 2 weeks
An artist (Cate McCleery) turned my artwork into a piece of embroidery!! 💗💗💗 Here’s a link to the original print in my shop jessicahische.shop/products/pol...
I wonder if my music taste is going to change or expand since I’ve started ADHD meds… For my whole life I’ve found some types of music to be sonically overwhelming (stuff with a lot of layered instruments) but maybe that won’t be the case anymore?
Manifesting my anxiety for the state of the world as an internal mission to be very on top of nutrition and exercise is not similar to the eating disorder I had as a teen no not at all
This little dude found a new home today. Welcome to the fam, Boba! (Was a little soon for me but the kids are in heaven and I’m admittedly loving the snuggles)
Heartbreak is such a wild feeling. A heaviness and hollowing at once.
Farewell my sweet Olive 💔 So happy we found each other 16 years ago. You converted many a non-cat-person with your dog-like ways. You’ve been there through every big life change. So glad you got to spend your last years snuggling in our cozy home surrounded by love. You’ll always be baby #1.
It’s nearing the end of the line for my first “baby” and even though she’s had a long and wonderful life this is really really difficult.
As soon as I get home I’m designing a kindle case with built in fidgets along the sides. Like an busy board for ADHDers who have butterfly brain while reading mildly challenging books
Now that I’m on Ritalin and have a bunch of 3D printed fidgets I’m attempting to read all the books that intimidated me in my younger years starting with Infinite Jest
Got called “miss” instead of “ma’am” by a barista and oh the small thrill this gave me
Feeling big feels from the OAK parking lot. This morning I held my feverish 5yo in my lap. Russ made me coffee, like he does every morning, and I was overwhelmed with gratitude for my life, my health, & my family.
So excited to post the link to the @studioworks.app AMA from yesterday because we talked about some huge big picture greater-mission stuff and I’m pinching myself for this team and how aligned we are on our vision for what we’re building and what we want to do for the creative community!
