I recently took on a design project for a friend who hired me for a project. I charged a nominal 10% of my usual rate (because they refused to let me do it for free) but I am working at 110% my usual level because I love them and they deserve my best work and I owe it to them (and myself) to give it my best shot.
I don’t know if you know this but it’s actually very cool to be very good at what you do, both professionally and recreationally. Do your best every time.

this mindset was taught to me when i first started running (thank you coach she’s a real one 🥹) and i guess this applies in other aspects of life, like building habits.
also this is a very personal fuck you to perfectionism bc i finally finished updating my 2024 portfolio wooooooo
celebrating incremental progress and focusing on building momentum is better than letting perfectionism drag you down 🙂↕️

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
