Winner winner overcooked chicken dinner. Stop trying to please your great-grandmother who's been dead for 22 years.
The clean farmhouse Cracker Barrel interior redesign is actually staying true to its identity of “southern grandma” aesthetic. It’s just that the old “eclectic” style represents a type of grandma that died 30 years ago, and people don’t realize time has passed them by.

We're already fatigued with what's next:. ==Lots of I don't care posts.==Weird guys telling us she's not hot.==Weird women crying capitulation.==What about Gaza.==Weirder men calling Mr. Swift gay.==Even weirder men Taylor a secret man.==Football football.==Whatever Trump does.
feel like the taylor and travis engagement news isn’t hitting quite as hard as it might have a year or so ago, mini vibe shift.

Having comms seized once in your life is enough. If you want to talk shit on a client I suggest getting in a dark room and just quietly making faces at each other until the mood passes. Discoverable but also inscrutable.
The best piece of work advice I've ever gotten continues to be one from my first internship at ELLE:. Don't put anything in writing you don't want read back to you in court. Simplest reminder to stay smart and kind.

Old guy buying Cracker Barrel pancake mix in front of me at grocery store. Asked him if they were good. They are. Asked him what he thought about the rebrand. Shrugs his shoulders. "I like the fried pickles." Interview over.

There's something eerily beautiful about this shot. I wish I remembered Catholic school better because maybe there's a big white dog in the Book of Revelation.

Standing out is always hard but this is profligate nature's bounty of sameness. Maybe I can convince my client to go loco on packaging like @JoeWelstead. Chaos packaging FTW.

Months later I'm working in the space and amazed how endemic this vibe is. Even hits plant food.
love to be out here in the nature with all the bounty and truth that it's made
