Don’t we all feel like the world is falling apart and it’s inappropriate to share our artwork right now? Yeah, same.
at the same time what we, artists, can do, is to give a bit of space to breathe, to provide a small escape from stress inducing feed we scroll

What I’m working on? I’m working on my presentation for @adobe MAX later this month. I’m kinda freaking out coming up with a new talk. 😅
This may only show up for like ten seconds, but it matters. lol.
Hope to see you in LA!

Updates on my (most probably) stolen iphone17 package:
I had a nice customer service guy helping me. They said they’ll investigate, and then issue refund or replacement within next 2-3 days.

Iphone17s are shipping right now. Please watch out for incoming packages if you have placed an order. 🙏

I ordered a new iPhone. And it went missing from the mailbox area in my building.
nothing ever go missing in my building.. 😰

this is prob why Apple Care including theft gets activated as soon as the package is shipped out.

PS: currently asking around neighbors if they picked it up by mistake 🤞

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen.

Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes.

Do I get more cardio exercise by just walking in 3000-4500m altitude? (10,000-15,000ft)
Do locals here in the forever state of cardio exercise?? Do they have stronger heart health???
So many questions.

Best thing that happened to my Spanish is that it’s still terrible but forced to speak to people who don’t speak English at all is essentially the best teacher. One week is worth hundreds of days of streak!

Bought an Andean hat you can wear in NYC winter. Ethically hand made with best quality materials. Tradition, also hip. If you are in Cusco, stop by to Apu Hats. Right near Plaza de Armas.

Yessss! Definitely take that once I arrive, but it’s illegal in the USA so I don’t have it on me. The interesting thing is that Peruvians drink fresh green leaves, while Colombians use the dried ones. I like them both.

I take meds to take excess water out of my body from like two days before. Then I still often get migraines anyway, I take the migraine pills, drink water and go to bed the first day. Usually I’m fine the second day on.
