One hour of pushing AI slop on Adobe Max 🥴 Watching them do mental gymnastics to try to convince a crowd of creatives that the only real benefit to their AI tools is "saving time." No thanks, I'd rather spend the time to learn.
@adobe.com The Opening Keynote for Adobe MAX is so focused on A.I. that it is off-putting. I am not the only one. The Discord attendee channel is 90% annoyed. I don't feel any FOMO by turning off the keynote.
🚀 First science site of 2025! With @baileybat.bsky.social we created a logo + site for the Baik Lab at UC Davis. We’re committed to helping scientists build strong visual identities that inspire, even with limited funding. Need a website? Let's chat! #LabWebsite #STEM #SciComm #SciArt #WebDesign

Fight the Empire.
Trump's birthday parade on June 14th is estimated to cost over $45M. But, scientific research is considered an extraneous cost. Are you furious, too!? Scream it with a poster! Link in bio to submit your designs and have it featured on our website for others to use at the #NoKings protest!

"We are speaking on behalf of hundreds of NIH staff who are standing up together to say: WE DISSENT. I am so scared about doing this but I am trying to be brave for my kids because it's only gonna get harder to speak up." Thank you to Dr. Jenna Norton and NIH scientists for your courage!

Hello Bluesky! My name is Jackie. I'm a web & brand designer and run Golden Ray Studio. My work is inspired by nature and my love for science. Looking forward to connecting and finding inspiration on this platform!
✨New Waspaganda✨ Despite their demonization, Vespid wasps are hardworking ladies who work together to get it done & fulfill their niche (pollinating, hunting, defending). I believe they are powerful symbols for worker resistance & deserve more respect. Get it: Lindzeamays.com/printshop 🐡🕷️🐝🌱

We do this all to stay focused, not flooded. I share the sense we’ve made in a late Friday night debrief. There is a lot to feel sad & sick about. I can’t tell you things will be okay, but I can tell you A LOT about efforts to make it better. This was week 4. buttondown.com/liminalcreat...
Week 4
