Earlier this year I responded to the prompt 'Document' with a personal essay about how names, identities, and borders feel fixed but shift over time. Love being in such great company and endless thanks to @michellem_sc and Meg Miller <3

Sisterhood of the nyc sample sales

We made a blind taste test to see whether NYT readers prefer human writing or AI writing. 86,000 people have taken it so far, and the results are fascinating. Overall, 54% of quiz-takers prefer AI. A real moment! nytimes.com/interactive/20…

I built a multiplayer embroidery sampler for the internet. It's called Common Thread. 🪡 Built the entire thing in @Figma Make, first thing I've ever vibecoded with it. Every visitor gets a patch on a shared canvas. You pick a thread color, choose a stitch type, and craft your art. A sampler is a piece of fabric where you practice and collect different stitches — a reference guide and playground in one. They were meant to be passed between hands and added to over time. Common Thread is that, but the fabric is infinite, the UI is whimsical, and the hands are anonymous. The part I love most: you can snap any section with a draggable embroidery hoop and export it, framed. i love how Figma Make is a kind of tool that lets you focus on what something should feel like, not how to ship it. Made for the @contra x Figma Makethon #FigmaMakeathon Try it yourself! /link below/

I think I just roll my eyes at people who say “everything looks the same!” Does it?? Gaza and Vacation both use Garamond Condensed but are otherwise radically different. Far more interesting / helpful to be specific about things than to hand wave and say “color” is a trend.

i ordered a digital camera from amazon and instead received a $15 "napFun" neck travel pillow. FYI the box said there was a lithium battery inside...

Thank u for having me :)

Interesting and fun study on generational differences in handwriting. The interactions are cool, too. Somehow i didn't realize i still write in cursive (like a boomer, apparently!) straitstimes.com/multimedia/gra…

Out my window i see giant strobes of lightning as well as a rogue falcon circling around. New york is wild!
