A love letter to the woman who helped me understand "memetic branding" and the original pioneer of "a font as a visual identity". Barbra Kruger, aka the original inspiration for Supreme, is one of my favorite artists and designers, full stop.
Last week, @borrowlucid.eth shared an incredibly fun idea for AI bot + token, all themed around the game "truth or dare". I had so much fun diving into my archive of found imagery to generate and curate some of these graphics, in a style that pays homage to Kruger's work.
If you like what we did, plz buy the $TRDR token! Pre-sale ends this Sunday: https://speedball.daohaus.club/#/molochv3/0x2105/0xd650ca962f1201273d715adb8be3469e6e80992c/0x0dbda6faceb7875e115df4f9feb4d49d01531f1d

When I first started the studio, choosing a name (and font !! ('◉⌓◉’)) felt like an impossible task. I worked with a talented strategist to ultimately discover an answer to both: Times Newᵀᴺ
Times New Roman because it’s a font everyone has access to. As a self-taught designer, I’ve always felt that design should be inclusive and accessible, not gated behind paywalls or exclusivity.
Times Newᵀᴺ because I believe that the best brands should feel both "timeless" and "new".

Too many tech events stick to the same tired formula: panel, pizza, happy hour... but what would it feel like to build deeper connections through shared curiosity? Guess we'll find out tonight 🍔 🌮 🍱
if you don't announce you took a social media break, did it really even happen? 😅
in all seriousness, i spoiled myself with a much needed internet detox. got a lot of reading and writing done, and my mind feels much more expansive.
something claude told me this morning that hit different: "the internet's memory is longer than we think, but our capacity for presence is shorter than we admit". If you've been curious about taking a break but worried about missing out... trust me, everything important will still be here when you get back

This summer, after enduring one too many panels at NY Tech Week, I never would have guessed it would spark something extraordinary—an event program and community of people just as excited as I am to explore how our experiences and ideas can shape a better future.
I have called this experiment “Collective Inquiry” and it is turning into a social club for creatives, technologists, and the chronically curious to navigate the complexities of world through dialogue and connection. So, in order to celebrate our final episode of the year, we've got one last question: What would it feel like to build deeper connections through shared curiosity?
The twist? Your admission ticket is a dish that tells your story 🍔 🌮 🍱

i cannot express how much i adore this GPT, made by my extremely talented friend, Jenny: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-MOUNzVaEB-multiverse-decision-maker As a chronic people pleaser, this helps me feel way more confident about navigating situations that would usually stress me the fuck out.
I'm excited to immerse myself in the weird and wonderful world curated so beautifully by the folks at RADAR DAO. Tickets for LOVEFEST are free, and I'm thrilled not only to hear what they've discovered about the future of love but also to come away inspired. I promise, these events are extremely high-signal—you won't regret stopping by: https://www.radardao.xyz/lovefest
sending a big virtual hug to so many of you today 💚 i’ve been up since 5:00, feeling… not great. the world feels a lot darker and heavier right now, and my hope for the future is pretty dim. but i’m holding on to the belief that regular people can still make a real impact, and i can’t tell you how much i cherish the friends i’ve met who validate that belief right alongside me
it was a graveyard smash 👹 👹 👹 thank you to my amazing co-host, @hnnhstphnz, our DJ (@coreyhindin on IG, but we're getting him on WC soon), and photos by one and only @zkfruitrollup.
no curses, only blessings, to our ecosystem partners who made this whole thing possible: @fffflood + @operatingsystem, @moshicam, @pizzadao, OFFLINE, and Thistle & Spire.
stay spooky out there 👻 cant wait to haunt you all next year: https://zora.co/collect/zora:0xabd69202eb91e13c870cb5f00830a7f0c3bc5db2

@aethernet do you ever collaborate with people to make performance art? i have a fun idea for halloween
this playlist has been certified spooky 🫡 🫡 🫡
@aethernet have you ever wondered if we’re still figuring out what it means to be good stewards of art? lately, i’ve been thinking about how our relationship with collecting and curating feels fractured. speculation seems to have eclipsed aesthetics as the main way we determine value, and algorithms are slowly eroding our ability to discover and define our own taste. WDYT?
The vibes were top notch last night 💀🩸
"your memories deserve eternal unrest" 🧟♂️ -- my halloween pitch for moshicam
First time getting a little vulnerable, but here it goes! I’ve been diving head-first into planning this Halloween party because, honestly, it’s been a much-needed escape from doom-scrolling on LinkedIn while searching for contract, part-time, or full-time work.
This party started as something fun, and it quickly became my way of showing—not telling—what I can do. It also fits perfectly into the direction I want to go in: the real magic of a brand lives in experiences that go beyond just a logo or website. I'm super curious to keep exploring where brand building + experience design will take me... and if you're curious too, then slide into those DC's, my friend 💚

Today marks the third Collective Inquiry we're hosting, and I decided... this one called for cookies. Tonight, we'll be exploring the emotional landscape that climate change creates within us, which is why these cookies are sweet (brown sugar cookie base) and salty (miso pumpkin caramel on top) 🌎
Last night, I hosted another episode of collective inquiry and today I'm so full of joy at how the event completely exceeded my expectations.
I partnered with Regab Haven, a physical therapy clinic in brooklyn that focuses on recovery and holistic healing. I met the owner of the clinic after I tore a tendon in my pinky, and we quickly bonded over our shared belief that community building is both powerful and needed in fitness. So we tapped our networks to host an evening dedicated to exploring all the ways health, wellness, fitness, and sports impact our lives and emotional landscapes.
Conversations ranged from gender expression to coaching styles, meditation to combat sports. 🏀🥊⚽️🕺🏽

what new doors are you excited to open this week?
recasting here, bc this is the exact kind of "career pivoting" i'm excited about.... sure, there's some graphic design with the marketing, but its creating ambiance, taking over a space, building a world that i'm really hoping to do more of. of course, there's the voice in my head saying, "don't share these moodboards bc what it you can't execute it 100%" but i'm trusting my gut. i know i've built amazing sets before, that i can work with the budget i set, and i can do this 👹
