I quit.
I decline. I choose not to go. To not participate. Refuse to partake. I’m not in. I’m very much out. I’m saying NO.
I’m Bartleby the motherfucking Scrivener.
Sure, saying NO is something we all know is important in the world of design. But quitting is a skill required I didn’t really ever expect to be so important. I’ve utilized it several times in the past couple years in ways that have been extremely beneficial in the long term, even if that meant in the short I felt apprehensive and/or terrible about the idea.
Quitting has delivered. Big time.
Protect Our Land and Water
The Bold Alliance is a network of small and mighty groups in rural states working to protect the land and water.
We fight fossil fuel projects, protect landowners against eminent domain abuse, and work for clean energy solutions while building an engaged base of citizens who care about the land, water, and climate change.
The Bold Alliance works with an unlikely alliances of farmers, ranchers, fisherfolk, Tribal nations, and progressives to stop risky fossil fuel and industrial food projects with the grassroots style we used to stop Keystone XL.
What to make of all this ‘BOTH SIDES’ stuff?
It’s a good question. After all, do we even know where “BOTH SIDES” even came from? Will we ever? Probably not. For the time being, it’s best to just follow along. See what happens next. See how it all unfolds. Check it out.
Want to be a designer?
Cool. First, take these 53 randomly sized logos and make them look good on a screen/page. Then let’s talk.
What is ‘ideal?’
The ideal timeline? Maybe the ideal budget? Or the ideal client? When you have all of those, or maybe just two, then is it ideal? Maybe?
The need for circumstances to be ideal is a great goal. But it’s also very unrealistic.
Should it all be in place for a project to get off to a good start and is getting off to a good start a necessary precursor to a successful project?
The answer to both is NO.
When every single thing is WOKE
ATTACK ALL THE WOKE! The rampant assault carries such a frequency the signal noise reaches you even if you can’t hear it at first. The rightwing masters of simplicity and repetition are at it, full on. Never give up, no quit. The destroyers of nuance, discussion, conversation, are set on KILL KILL KILL!!!
But really, I think they’re just sore because saying “stay woke” sounds so cool.
So to you all out there I say, stay woke, yo.
