Ahhhh the feeling of serenity that comes from seeing illustrations as beautiful as these

In efforts to spruce up #designsky I’m sharing a weekly source of happiness to counter the AI slop HIGHLY recommend you subscribe pencilbooth.com/archive/outo... #illustration #design #outofcommision #deathtoslop

This is why I keep trying to stick it out here on Bluesky #designsky

It is wild how sharp that “K” is

Boycott OpenAI! OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, announced Friday that the company reached an agreement with the Department of Defense to deploy its AI models on a classified network just hours after Trump ordered federal agencies to phase out rival Anthropic.

Alysa Liu didn't just make the Bay Area proud. She taught us all a lesson. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/annki...

Yes yes yes

This platform needs way more freaking out about Alysa Liu. Oakland chill yet extreme excellence is the antidote to everything that’s so broken right now.

Alysa Liu is a true hero, for so many reasons! Very #oakland proud today!!! #alysaliu #olympics #oaklandsky Something about seeing someone win because they love the sport itself, not because they love the competition, feels sooooo good. I’ll be referencing her a lot as I bring my own kid into sport

Never gets old!

My art ambitions are to create some.

Dear #designsky - any calendar recommendations? Big enough to write in, well designed, ideally from a cute, small shop :) I had the one in the photo from #poketo , but looks like they’re not doing it for ‘26. #printing #letterpress #stationary #typography #graphicdesign #printmaking peeps help?

This is I subscribe to @wired.com , cause it puts things like this into the world

What I needed to see

Breathe a sigh of relief, there is still goodness in this world, like this gem from Kamekura

This is so vomit inducing …

Spread this far and wide!

This is actually truly hilarious

what's wild is these people showed no interest in design(ers) at all when they first showed up, so this pivot to "caring" about "design" seems like an easy to way signal some semblance of interest in fixing the damn websites.

Does the person responsible for HBO → HBO Max → Max work at MSNBC now? Sorry, I mean NOW.

Fellow #designers , I imagine you got into this career because you “liked being creative” and are drowning in AI like me. This article helped me put some of my concerns into poetry. Also, see the photo from a commenter on PROCESS vs. PRODUCT #designsky . www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/o...

I’m seeing many reposts of Donald Trump’s demented distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein mess about Rosie O’Donnell. What I’m not seeing is her sassy response. Here it is:

You’re telling me Google can (with Gemini) code an interactive multi-page website in minutes… But Google sill makes me go through this incredibly frustrating process for simple tasks like downloading an image in a google doc? And countless other basic things Priorities people! #google #designsky

Ummmm trying to find another word to describe this other than just … super cool?

Anyone have a good read-it-later article saving app? Just want a way to send an article to bucket, then view that bucket later when I’m looking for articles to read. support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fut... #designsky #pocket #read-it-later #journalism

open.substack.com/pub/carly/p/... Especially non-designers, please read this to put words to vibes. “There’s a kind of energy to the pairing, but the dynamic raises a harder question: is this partnership about design as strategy, or design as PR? - @carlyayres.com #designsky

@figma.com to #webflow? Yeh we’re just gonna copy and take you out @figma.com to #adobeillustrator ? Yehhhh we’re just going to copy and take you out (we don’t need to be bought by you!) #designsky

just caught the read.cv shoutout! #figmaconfig #designsky

Kinda really hoping #figma doesn’t launch any #AI features… Please no… #designsky

Thanks for hosting @janelle.posts.cv @andy.posts.cv ! Was fun reminiscing about the convos on posts

Attention attention attention

@oaklandside.bsky.social what’s taking soooooo long for these mayor results? It’s already Friday afternoon ⏱️ #oakland

🍿🍿🍿

The time Larry David wasn’t happy with J.B. Smoove showing up late to his own party 🤣….this should’ve been an episode of Curb!

Hey #designsky , can any recruiters help me with an honest portfolio / resume review? After getting laid off for the 2nd time in a year, I'm back on the hunt and would love to know how a recruiter "scans" my application. Willing to pay for an honest review #jobhunting #tech #productdesign #design

Ahhhhh sharing this his cause it makes me happy to live in the Bay Area! People give this place crap but damn I feel lucky to live here #bayarea #oakland #sanfrancisco @sfchronicle.com #food The complete Top 100 list is out: See who came in at No. 1 www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

Give me art where someone decided it needed to exist so much that they devoted a significant portion of their limited time on Earth to create it.

This should actually come up as “community notes” on every chatGPT image

Anyone watching White Lotus? This reeks of the scene where little Schwarzenegger gets mad cause a girl wouldn’t hook up with him.

Few things would make me happier right now than to read a headline that says “Studio Ghibli tries to sue OpenAI out of existence” Can we please make this happen? #designsky #openai #ai #studioghibli

Isn't it just truly fucking hilarious that unemployment income is taxable? "Oh yeh, we know you're having a tough time after you lost your job, so here's some pennies that we call unemployment... but... we need some of those pennies back next year" Sincerely, The U.S. Government's Social Safety net

Really dug this @taurean.posts.cv and @pedropeguerojr.com . Actually even kinda preferred it to Andy's read.cv messages with the big imagery. Awesome job!

Echoing this! Not afraid to admit the only reason I was able to afford graduate school is because it was essentially “subsidized” by international students.

Yesterday the layoff-witch came for me (second time in a year!) First, god damnit … this fucking sucks (feel like I can be more real here than LinkedIn…) Second of all, know anyone looking for lead/senior level product designer (emphasis on design systems) winstonstruye.com #designsky #design

🚨🚨🚨 This should alarm designers as much as artists. Fellow designers, don’t be blinded to your right of independence of ideas by “shiny tech.” #designsky

I wonder how many people are vibe-coding a “minimalist to-do app”, the world really doesn’t have enough of those… #designsky #newideasplease #vibecoding

Humor is the only way I can survive these times and this helped

Can’t wait!

Damn I wish this would get more headlines
