maybe deleting in the morning but america from an immigrant’s perspective. i came here 2 years ago. i began actively disliking europeans since coming here. every attitude except the american attitude sucks. i had to stop walking around with noise cancellation turned on in case somebody drive-by complimented me on the street, because it happens so often, and i’d hate to be rude and to not respond. do you even know what kind of stares you get when you speak to a stranger on a european street? everyone in america wants everyone else to succeed; in europe, everyone wants you to remain comfortably within the crab bucket. in europe i was told everyone on america was just fake nice. that’s giga cope. americans are smarter than you, europoor - americans understand that if you succeed, they succeed by proxy. you get nothing from poor, defeatist neighbors. if everyone’s successful and everyone’s generous, then everyone succeeds. this mindset is the only objectively correct mindset on earth - everyone else is wrong. everyone else thinks success is a finite resource , which is incorrect. if i succeed, then obviously all of my friends succeed, because i love them. i obviously love you, dear reader! you are on this platform like me, you think like me, you want humanity and civilization to persist forever like me, you live near me! i want you to do better than me! you doing better than me benefits me! if i do better than you, it will only benefit you too, because i love you, and want to share with you! i want everyone to do better than me - it’s not a finite resource, afterall. if you’re better than me now, that’s great, that just means i have more to learn from you while we both shoot for the moon. this is just not the case anywhere else on earth and it’s too easy to take this mindset for granted, and that’s what i found makes America so unique.

taste as a product is such a funny concept 2 me. just go outside and try things and love some of those things and eventually there is no outcome possible but for some of those things to become unequivocally you, and “you” are reflected in everything you make

Making posters for @DurinMining I fully believe in Durin’s mission, humans should not be lifting heavy stuff in torrid/freezing conditions near instagib rotating equipment. Robots should do all that

unique merch is so much easier to design than a unique brand system, but i want to learn to pull things like this off. i refuse to bow down to helvetica

Add what's in short supply. X is saturated with cask-strength rudeness but is short on beautiful material culture (compared to IG, tiktok) So post nice-looking stuff, I think there's a hunger for that
You 100% need a niche Hyper focused is best Always write to be helpful, insightful and have opinions (write with your chest) Hooks matter Photos matter My 2 cents

ok credit where credit is due - a little cooler is probably the most practical piece of merch I’ve gotten so far

can’t say im not guilty of this but ive been really trying to think about how to solve this are we all too online, should i kill the router sometimes? is it a problem of where i source my inspiration? maybe the inspirations shouldn’t be visual in nature at all?
tech branding is incredibly boring rn everybody copying the same few references just a big uninspired sea of sameness
