I've had some experience with business cards, so I loved this brief history. The 60s-70s had some good ones! (h/t Colin Wright for the link) #graphicdesign #graphics #typography #art #businesscards

I love being a martyr--I identified with this writer's plight. This time of year--holiday planning, gift-shopping, parties to attend--you may also relate. Are you in charge or a victim? #advice #takingcharge #gowiththeflow # open.substack.com/pub/mariabow...
I love being a martyr
Complaining about it is fun too

I love this idea "The ACBA is the only accredited institution in the US to offer a four-year degree that integrates a liberal arts education and building-trades training." #education #tradeschool #liberalarts #alternativeeducation #college

The American College of the Building Arts blends liberal arts courses and building-trades training. From American Craft, Winter 2026.

Pumpkin - best as coach or side dish?
I was never a fan of this fruit (yes) till I looked away from the soups and pies. A recipe for Roasted Pumpkin with Sage and Walnuts.
