trump almost getting assassinated & biden getting covid in the same week is the most american thing imaginable. almost getting killed by something they both pretended to not be a problem is poetic — no one doin it like us fr.

i promise you the sans serification of logos has nothing to do with lack of design skills and everything to do with corporate consolidation & the global rise of fascism.

the cultural significance of the keffiyeh is immeasurable, and YOU 🫵 can support the last keffiyeh factory in palestine directly here: anyone can buy & wear them, palestinian solidarity is intersectional 🇵🇸❤️.
What does the Keffiyeh represent? Here’s an image to explain the significance of the pattern on the iconic scarf associated with the #FreePalestine movement.

i think i can control bees too is such a white man thing to say.
Chris Pratt reveals he suffered from a painful bee sting on his left eye after attempting to “control bees’ when seeing a beehive. After viewing a popular TikTok beekeeper’s video, it “built up this false sense of security in me. I think I can control bees too.”

i am begging people to use gender neutral language when talking about abortion. “i didn’t want to make it a trans issue”, it IS A TRANS ISSUE. its a BIPOC issue. its a LOW INCOME issue. these communities have been fighting for abortion for decades, PLEASE center them.

adobe has been using everything you’ve been making in their programs to train their new ai. it is on by default, they are using your art without your consent. turn this off by opening your CC app > adobe account > account and security > privacy and personal data

if you cannot properly care for any pet for their entire life, please please please do not get one. there is no such thing as a “low maintenance” pet, only low effort from the owner. you are caring for a life and it’s your responsibility to ensure they are happy and healthy.

i need graphic design content creators to be very honest about how much adobe is being run into the ground with ai. we all need to be extremely critical of these programs we use, the shilling needs to stop. the next gen of designers deserve better than this.

@katycatlillian merch designer here! she uses high quality, US made blanks. merch is also the best way to support an artist since they get the highest cut out of any other revenue stream like tour, streaming, etc. i know they can be $$, but it ensures people aren’t being exploited.
