anyway the vibe olympics are only on luma bc I hate random rules. if you're around for #SFTechWeek, come compete! we have a $10k cash prize.

think e-sports style challenges with only one winner. refs not judges.

qualifiers (compete) -> luma.com/vibe-champio...

#sftechweek requires events to be on partiful, and only partiful. SF event spaces are usually only reserve-able via luma.

this has led to all kinds of chaos.

First up in my series, El Maestro, Francisco Toledo. Not a strictly abstract artist, he used geometric shapes, textures, fantastical forms, ancient morphologies & symbols, native creatures in his art painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, ceramics, textiles. 🧵 1/?

your profile says you're in SF - no FOMO needed 👀

a regular chair wouldn't be annoying, but a chair with a not-working outlet is super annoying, even though they have the same amount of functionality.

#designsky do you know this word?

the great british baking show felt like a serious competition during covid when you knew everyone was trapped there with only the other contestants, practicing their bakes in the parking garage
