What an interesting parallel where as painters, it's not recommended to use black with nature scenes. Mixing colors into a very dark shade is better. π¨ I'd go for a Smoky Black or Midnight Blue!

Feels weird seeing folks get invited to a conference where I experienced a racial code of conduct violation. I hope folks can have fun, learn something great, and build community, especially when there are kids involved.

Job hunting is like golf, we want as few job apps filled out. If I had 400+ folks who would refer me to a company-- I think the odds are going to be significantly greater in getting an offer-- compared to filling out an app 400 times.
This is the kind of market where each application is averaging 100s of people especially if the posting has been up for longer than 3 days. The only way to get ahead is to either make your application standout or to have someone of influence refer you.

If you're excited about Cara and the idea of community-built online spaces for artists, please keep an eye on us! Armadillo will be less of a social media platform, and more of a place to sell illustrations directly to clients. We'll be launching our introductory site very soon!

#OnThisDay in 1942, singer Curtis Mayfield was born. The Chicago native made his first recordings in 1958 as a member of The Impressions. Mayfield infused gospel and blues with messages of uplift and racial pride to give voice to the struggles of everyday Black Americans.

Even in 2007, my HS friends were already in Misses or Plus size clothing ranges. We laughed about how tiny junior tops were ("You'll need 3 bikini tops to cover one tit!") I could see that trend continuing for 20 years where the jump from girls -> misses size range is direct.

Hey @bmluse ! Loved yesterday's ep @NPRItsBeenAMin Re: prom - I wonder why puberty wasn't discussed w/ the disappearance of teen fashion. Early-onset puberty can lead to a more adult-like body at a younger age.

I/O was the first time I saw the possibility of being inspired by tech. It was the first time I saw the impact of community and wanted to create space that kept the vibes going outside of large events. Itβs one of the big reasons I started TBC βΊοΈ https://t.co/ipVZsz5iSh
