On one side, I agree with fact that I deserve a job that makes me want to wake up for it instead of whatever office boring and toxic job expects me to do.
But at the same time, following your passion and chasing art-making as your full time income is also likely to ruin your art practice in the first place. I know a little about it because I had a passion for music and sound art as a teenager. Even just attending uni in my early twenties to focus on sound more than on anything else was enough to make that passion fade away almost entirely.
So I’m not too sure what the answer is really. I wish I didn’t have to work either but I also don’t want whatever creative pursuit brings me joy now to become my ft profession.
Good branding signals other things related to class and positionality – if an experience looks good, it’s because it was crafted at some point by a designer and a creative director who had the time, skills, and zeitgeist awareness to know what looks good (one of the founders of the swim club mentioned above is a graphic designer by trade, as an...

Here are a few ideas that many of our favorite emails have used:
- Ask someone a specific question. The more specific, the better.
- Ask for criticism . Tends to be more effective than asking for advice.
- Share something interesting. An essay. Video. Company. Anything they’d like.
- Say something funny.
- Say something useful. Maybe you noticed a typo on

It's funny that we invented machines to reduce our workload and enjoy more of our limited time on this planet.
Yet, somewhere along the way, we drifted off course and started trying to work on overdrive, behaving like machines only to regret it later on our deathbeds ↗.

Makes me think of how the first AI tools that came to the public eye a couple of years ago were sold to us as productivity aids that could free us time from long, boring, or repetitive tasks and someone make us regain some time (or it might just be this is how I thought AI was being promoted to me/my social circle).
And yet, somewhere along the way, we began using AI as our planner, calendar or in support of it — basically asking natural language processing and AI algorithms to free us more time so we could… work more? Achieve more? Have something else to work on instead?
What about the time the machine help us free? Where has that gone?

it baffles me how folks with the most parochial mindset always gravitate toward the recruiting or HR departments, literally like magnets for fucks sake
I have found it useful to make the distinction between consistency in my own process and consistency in my output. Sometimes, I need both. Sometimes, I need one and not the other. Sometimes, I have to let them both go.
The word “sometimes,” in itself, implies inconsistency. I think the key for me is to operate with intention: To ensure that my... See more
