Thanks. This I nice little guide, easy to suss and helps me figure my priorities.

All my life I have watched movies where the all American hero stands up to the baddie, the facist, the bully, the greedy. I seen so many celebs virtue signal to their political values and causes that help others. The whole gun thing, we keep them to protect our rights.

But when there is an actual threat the passive acceptance is astounding. It’s quite bizarre to see. My brain can’t reconcile the USA I have watched vrs the USA I am seeing.

Will it be civil war, the old logic says yes. What I am seeing tells me no.

Last weekend I pretty much had to go hunting for news on the protests. Since when. The hiding it, the burying It, it shows they are afraid!

Same for me use it professional and private. I think it hits 95% of what I do. Other than the trace tool I’m over illustrator.

I loved this too.

Let’s hope this is the start of a tide. No more money and no more information to those who get fat and seek to control those who use their services.

I don’t have much advice, I understand your place. I just wanted to chime in and say hey someone is listening. It’s Sad that you are not alone, but you are not alone. Some people are just dicks. Some people like you just wanna let it out and you were about. Some people get overtaken by the moment and it sounds like you handled that well. How they respond is on them and their emotional maturity.

Maybe make the decision to not to let others live in your head today. You make your head full of your happy thoughts.

Anyone who thinks colour isn’t a big part of this needs to question themselves. I’m a lil white non American and over the years I have questioned is the USA really racist? Over the last 20 years or so it’s become evident how systematic. Over the last 6 month it’s on full show.

Respect to all out there fighting racism and facism. Use every tool you have including your words.

I know. Cheap crap is a stain.

My persistence.

Smart everything. I’m buying second hand TVs simply so they are not marketing to me as soon as I turn it on.

Terms of design I feel like since postmodern we have had a bastardisation of flat design which was really mostly suited to information design but it got shoved on everything hence the monochrome blandness. On the other side we got a bastardisation of arts and crafts maybe where people tried to digitally replicate traditional methods, we got hand lettering stamping etc. then they swished them together and true design got shoved out the window in favour of , how can we grab the users attention, to
how can we hold the viewer captive, to
How can we force the viewer to absorb, to The how can we annoy the viewer so much they will pay to just read/view in peace.

I am not sure what this design movement will be called
