Just off the phone with @GrayceSlobodian who couldn't believe how many people were out at the cafe where I am in QLD, Australia, a normal scene for me. My heart is breaking for my L.A. home, but I feel so privileged to be in Aus this year
Earlier this year, right out of my Master's degree, I spent 4 months living in a tent and volunteering on bushfire recovery in Australia. I wrote about the experience and how it informed my work as a designer - I'd love to hear your thoughts! https://t.co/ug454BxRSA
If your economy requires people to consume things they don't need or even want, and to do more of it each year than the year before, just in order to keep the whole edifice from collapsing, then you need a different economy.
Having an unpaid spec assignment as part of your recruiting practices does not an equal opportunity employer make.
Especially during a time of continental/global racial uprising/reckoning/trauma for Black people.
My convocation ceremony for my Masters degree is today, but it’s online and I’m still in Australia. The other volunteers at the @blazeaid camp I’ve been at the last few months helped me celebrate. Complete with an egg carton cap!
We're in the middle of an unprecedented moment of crisis and uncertainty: you don't need to do anything to prove your worth. Just getting through each day is good enough.

And now in “things I never thought I’d say in 2020”..I’m practicing 2 weeks of isolation in a tent in a horse stable.
Feeling very fortunate for the @blazeaid community & the precautions they are taking to keep the farmers, communities, & volunteers safe during this time.
Had a good laugh today while setting up accommodation... I just finished my Masters degree and I’m living in a tent in a horse stable.
Happy to be volunteering with @blazeaid on bushfire recovery for the next few weeks!

Love this. So much of it was what led me to leave Toronto in December 💔 Why continue the struggle of affording to live there when it’s losing the qualities that made me fall in love with it?
Is it worth another rent increase to struggle in a place I'm not even sure that I like anymore?
I wrote about Toronto for @VICE.
