The niche design zine Itay Dreyfus Draft v1 • WIP  I’ve been working on this project for a few months, and now I finally feel it’s time to share it with the outside world. I’ve commented across the lines with notes and questions where I’m still unsure about things. While reading, feel fre...

We all deserve the freedom to determine what’s right for our own families, bodies, and lives.  This fall, the Supreme Court will hear a landmark case about the health care that gives trans youth the freedom to thrive, to grow, and be themselves. We are advocating alongside trans youth and their families in this crucial right.  This is a fight for the freedom to be safe, loved, and respected. The freedom to be.

Twigg is a space for honest sharing and real connection—no filters, no algorithms, no clout-chasing, no endless noise. We deserved better from traditional social media, but they had their chance, now we're here.

Twigg - The internet's journal.

So read.cv and post.cv are being winded down. Which is corporate-speak for the sudden death of a beloved space. Excuse my hyperbole, but…

Eulogy for a product that really cared: read.cv and posts.cv say goodbye

Posts/Read.cv Memorial Sticker

New York | Small Yay

Emergency Posts.cv meetup

Update on @charlsy 's Posts/Read.cv memorial sticker, they've arrived from the printers, and are looking sweeeeet! 👌❤️‍🔥 I'm going to send them out in two batches (one this month, one next) to spread the shipping costs, but first batch heading out soon!

Posts was a good place to visit because of you.  Take that with you, inject it into other parts of your life. This way Posts will last forever.

Heartbreak aside for a moment - and given the speed at which Posts will be gone -, is anyone else wanting a replacement? I’m keen to keep the spirit of Posts alive and up for building something. If you’re interested, register your interest here: https://tally.so/r/3EvVP4 🧑‍💻❤️

Catch me over on Twigg 🫡 https://twigg.social/@otter

As Posts is coming to a close, I wanted to share something I've been working on since September! My first frame by frame animation! I never really animated in this way, so I thought why not try and make something fun while learning the ropes! 🍜 Be sure to watch with audio 🔊 :)

Going to miss this place. I made a 3D model of the Posts logo if anyone wants a memento.

I reccomend getting it printed at PCBway or Shapeways

Hey all, I wanted to share a very bittersweet update here before we shared it anywhere else. First, the hard part — we’ve made the difficult decision to wind down Read.cv and Posts starting this month.

Before this place gets closed, inviting you to my zine's public draft to read and leave input 🫶
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qjoy-JYwS6GKXaa7O828lT5kwfycDr9RHKrDCG2dXuk/edit?usp=sharing

maybe the real Posts were the friends we made along the way

Big ask, but wondering if anyone's friendly a tech'y press contact that might be interested in and able to shout about Twigg? ☺️🌱✨

One of my favourite teachings from Thich Nhat Hanh. This will be printed on the back of the first letter i’m sending out for my IRL mailing list. There’s still a few spots left: mail.otter.work - It’s free to join, and i’m posting worldwide.

Congrats to you and the team, Andy. I’m happy for you. Selfishly, I’m also sad as your product is crafted and considered. Thanks for making the internet a better place. I appreciate read.cv.

I recently launched Queue, the simplest podcast app out there.

I spent the last few months using it as my daily podcast app and polishing the experience so much that I’m ready to share it with the world.

(Sound on!)

Here’s how it works 1/4 ⬇️

Hard times distort clarity, but motion stabilizes. Rely on what you know, even when vision blurs—muscle memory of effort keeps momentum alive. The mind recalibrates in cycles; trust the rhythm.


Flow isn’t lost, just layered under fatigue.

freedom to be is a campaign exploring trans joy, resilience, and identity. was an honor for studio mosaic to partner with the aclu on this & to cd it.

Three - of my favourite - books for anyone building something. ✨

Finally sorted a logo for twigg. Tried to capture the visual vibe of the space, and incorporate the name. Potted plant, calming. Small but growing, not afraid to show up as they are. Sharp edges, signalling progressive new platform with big ideas. 🤷

Been thinking a lot about "the internet's journal" & what that means/looks like: I've split profiles in half, one side for quick/dynamic short-form content (posts), the other side for more static long-form/select content (articles & moodboard). 🌱✨🧘

This is the first day of our last month of Posts, let’s make it an awesome one

Anyone got any tips/suggestions for taking effective product photograph by yourself and without a budget? 😅

Adios everyone! Truly gonna miss this place. 🥲

One of my fave fonts “Inclusive Sans” (by Olivia King) just dropped v2, and it’s become variable 🙌 - available on Google Fonts

@ismacadena_ on ig

sorry to see everyone go and the platform die. but I hope it changed your life. see you on Twigg. social! ❤️‍🔥🔥

Just a very passive reminder - as it seems quite a few are still wondering where to go -, if you're looking for a new digital space, we'd love to have you over at twigg.social. Very much building on the spirit of the community here, and you'll see a few friendly faces. ☺️ 🌱 ✨

Just setup my Twigg.Social profile over at:

Massive shout out to @otter_is_fine for pulling off a little miracle, and in such a sort space of time.

Giving us some hope for the future after work.cv is shuttered.

Long Live Twigg!

I turned my -grief- into productivity and wrote an article about posts and read.cv winding down... but mostly about why products with heart matter: https://medium.com/@facumatiaude/eulogy-for-a-product-that-really-cared-read-cv-and-posts-cv-say-goodbye-1b793741715f

Made myself a cake for when Twigg hit's 100 sign-ups... 2 to go! 😏

I've teamed up with @charlsy's to print these beaut memorial stickers, full credit to him, I'm just coughing up some dough. 

They're actually being printed on metal, so they're gonna look delicious. ✨👌 Only 50 available, totally free, so be quick: https://tally.so/r/mBj7z5

Alright, one more yall. Please vote for what times work for you and feel free to select a bunch. I'll close the poll and announce the meeting date on Friday along with a new agenda.
