"sorry, i swear I'm listening. it's just my brain is also taking in every other sound in this place, including that random TV's subtitles"

every now and then (like, almost every day) i’m stopped in my tracks thinking about the way we choose to fossilize delicate, fleeting thoughts that would have otherwise floated away with the wind

*types furiously*

some of you have never spent time on the cozy web and it shows

me: sees a deer 🦌

also me: calls gf immediately to be excited about deer

gf: answers on the first ring / is just as excited / asks questions about the deer / looks up deer symbolism

The time for designers to learn to code is now With design tools further commoditising and sanitising expected creative output, the time for designers to be able to stand out is very much here. I think for some, learning to code is a good route fo...

We published this around Figma config 2024 and it’s even more relevant now. It’s increasingly becoming a tool of low quality slop when you want to go further than pictures of websites/apps. You can do better with learning skills that will outlive any design/builder tool.

I, a designer who is taking forever to build a personal website atm because I am obsessing over every HTML element and CSS property, while sprinkling a basic bit of JavaScript here and there, needed to hear “you do not need to know JavaScript to be a designer who codes”

This is handy! Thank you!

is it so wrong to savor the slow alchemy of interface design? to recklessly press every button, drag each layer, nudge each pixel? welcome, find solace here; in a quiet ritual of craft. a whispered rebellion against the cult of efficiency 🧪

Listening to the Severance podcast, and I just love how proud Ben Stiller is of his show.

Can’t stop thinking about innie Gemma just forever going to the dentist.

“Can we take a break?” just breaks me.

Nowhere feels right for my nonsense anymore.

Season 2 of Shrinking was flawless start to finish 💙

My problematic Virgo ass wanting to rename all my iMessage group chat names to match the rest of my iMessages list is probably why I could only ever be a designer honestly.

First day back in the office since Thanksgiving, first day back in the office for 2025, and… first day in my 15 year career that I haven’t worn a full face of full coverage foundation to work 🥹

Finding the best care for my skin after lots of teenage skin trauma has been so freeing.

I grew up on Australian eggs and live everyday :)

I wish it was this. It feels more like a public Facebook post where no one knows how to act.

Replies on Threads from randoms are… not it.

Kylie driving in California: “NO ONE HERE KNOWS HOW TO MERGE!”

Kylie driving in Perth (after many years): *completely forgets how to merge properly*

Ohhhh I don’t know about that, not an egg fan!

Heck yeah BUNDAY!

An almond and custard roll

But wait there’s more…

Current bread: a Bakers Delight Cheesymite™ Scroll. It’s like a cinny roll except savory with Vegemite and cheese.

Australians, do not come for me about the validity of Bakers Delight bread. It has healed me and that’s all that matters.

I swear, the only thing I’ve done since I landed in Australia is eat bread. Damn this country knows how to do bread right.

So amazing. I will always remain critical of tech, but also acknowledge how it’s helped break long live cycles!

Happy for you too!

My mum’s car engine exploded days after I arrived home for the holidays. Within a week, I’ve gotten her a new car.

Wild. We could have only hoped this was possibility for us growing up.

Ooooh my gosh, there goes my day; immediately delighted with Lightyear FUI! Thanks for this treasure!

Everyone gets 10 outta 10.

Basically, the round is just pictures of random things and participants need to answer if it's "Apple" or "Not Apple".

Puffins? Apple or not Apple?
Marge Simpson? Apple or not Apple?
