From a DM, just in case anyone else needs to hear this.

@smgstudio Leaderboard, med rec, and ???

Thanks for opening that door, buried deep in my brain where it should’ve stayed welded shut.

For yeeaars now, we've been quietly building this platform to help people get better at writing. It's finally live and open to everyone! I think this is one of the coolest things the team has ever done and it's free to create account, so I strongly suggest you poke around. 👀🧠

[Writelike @WritelikeOrg]

How does Writelike work? By demonstrating patterns in existing texts that you can copy in your own #writing. We take the guesswork out while highlighting (and making you practice!) the essential basics ✍️ See how we do it: https://t.co/pFcmCgVL1p

To complement all the medical and safety advice, Head to Health has added advice on looking after your mental health in the time of #covid19australia. (H2H is an official @healthgovau resource)

@picturesandtea @bugherd Of course! I'm in awe.

[Sam Daley @SamDaley_]

It's no secret that I think illustration can be a powerful element in creating distinctive design. Right now I'm enamoured of the work @picturesandtea is doing with @bugherd in Melbourne.

As the content wars heat up, all I’ve been waiting for is the platform that can bring me this mother lode.

[Netflix ANZ @NetflixANZ]

From February 2020, 21 films from the legendary animation house Studio Ghibli are coming exclusively to Netflix.

We’re proud to bring beloved, influential stories like Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle and My Neighbour Totoro to first-time viewers and high-flying fans alike.

@burninginashes @jasonfried I had the same system of client specific prefixes for those reasons. Like TW001. It had the added benefit of obscuring how much work I was (or wasn’t) doing in between your jobs. In hindsight, I doubt any client would’ve noticed or cared.

all I gotta do

[Sam Daley @SamDaley_]

Finding so many new artists to follow with #4styles trending. Here are some illustration styles I’ve played with. (apologies to @FrankMillerInk)

[Sam Daley @SamDaley_]

The whole thread is a heartwarming read, but this tweet, in particular, struck a chord.

[Soren Bowie @Soren_Ltd]

There is a unique pleasure in bending to the madness of a child. He doesn’t know which of his requests are crazy or impossible yet, and while one of my jobs is to teach him, it’s also fun to occasionally do the opposite of that and just leave the world big in his mind.

@lancepriebe @rebellenoire If there was any justice in this world you’d be a household name alongside Zuckerberg, Jobs, Page and Brin.

What can’t be solved with a bit of good ol’ Design Thinking and a few sprints? A cautionary tale of scope and scale from 1956.

The evolution of the Thor movie branding is such a good example of what happens when you’re clear about what makes your identity distinctive and lean into it. #Thor #ThorLoveAndThunder

[mister nation of motion @NationOfEagles]

The biggest glow-up in history

[Sam Daley @SamDaley_]

@ItzSuds @D3faultS3tting5 @jasonfried Yeah, The Enchiridion roughly translates to something like The Handbook or The Manual.

[Sam Daley @SamDaley_]

It’s also validating to have specific recognition of how important it was to co-create the site with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with lived experience to ensure authentic representation and support. #NAIDOCWeek https://t.co/fJ8jMcLOm7

[Sam Daley @SamDaley_]

Some huge recognition for the team as Head to Health wins Best in Class at the @GoodDesignAus Awards last night. Big thanks to @BrandonGien and the GDA panel for the kind words in this writeup: https://t.co/58aqtQD400

I’d describe my own personal outlook as something like “optimism for nihilists” or “sincerity for cynics” so this story from @siraimeeknight really resonates. Now I’m going to check out the world of #hopepunk.

[Kill Your Darlings @kyd_magazine]

The corny, wholesome humour of the Muppets seem easy to mock in 2019 – yet recent 'edgy' parodies have fallen flat. @siraimeeknight asks: What is it about Jim Henson's outlook that has proven so resistant to cynicism? https://t.co/Y3Xyc0WuCH
