Been booking some hand-poked tattoos alongside machine ones, and I’m SO pleased with this latest flash sheet! 〰️

Tables in FigJam launched today! Hats off to @swiadek @schmidt & co for this gem of a feature. Making tables is wonderful, but you can also make TABLE ART! Drop in some stickers, some washi tape—go wild in your next team warmup 💫🍄✨

And of course, show us your art!

📣 #Config2023 is happening on June 21 & 22! Two days of talks from 75+ speakers. 50+ sessions. So much rad stuff in store! Checkout the lineup and get your in-person or virtual tickets while they’re hot! ❤️‍🔥

I wanna start a mega thread of all the rad, trans, non-binary and gender-non-conforming folks here. Roll call in the comments so we can follow one another 🏳️‍⚧️📣🏳️‍⚧️

If you’re an ally, give us a boost! 🙏

Brb, gotta go be witchy for a few hours 🪐

Coming out of my writing hiatus with a substack piece on the power of platonic intimacy and how the band boygenius is beautifully modeling it for us all. Thanks for reading 💙

Can we all rally around image alt text as a really big feature request on here? 🙏

One thing I didn’t anticipate when I became a tattooer is how often loved ones ask me to bring my tattoo supplies to The Function. A family gathering? The hotel after a wedding reception? A barbecue in prospect park? All places I have been asked to casually setup a station 🥴
