Ok, paella this weekend
- Sounds amazing. I’ve done two paellas this month already after getting my hands on some choice ingredients. Enjoy!monospaced
- Ortodox valencian paella, no chorizo. Will post pics!OBBTKN
- Who said anything about chorizo? Anyway, please post pics of your rabbit and snail paella. If you're not using those, it's not even remotely "orthodox."monospaced

I'm thinking of starting an instagram to promote myself.
People say post 1 photo a day.
How do I get followers? How should I start?
Do I follow clients I want? Peers I respect?
Is it weird if I start following other designers I don't know personally?
How do I get people to follow me? Hashtags?
- lol yes you must only follow people you know personally otherwise its super weird and creepy OKset
- Google Gary V he has some good instagram adviceset
- its a weird thing people do. they mass follow whole bunch of people and that somehow makes them feel obligated to follow you.pango
- i dont fully understand. so far i only hav sexy chicks who wants 2 have sex with me following me. I seriously dont know anyone of em and they are so forward...pango
- lol pango thinks they're real womenset
- i want to believe!!!!pango
- i've heard engaging people to comment works in your favour. ask questions and stuffs.pango
- also instagram people tend to like rainbow puke kind of photos.pango
- that's why this kind of place exists
https://www.youtube.…pango - oh instagram! Good luck over there.Bennn

Do you think contemporary art galleries make money?
I went to a few today and some had nice stuff on the way but no prices so I can just assume they were $1000s of dollars and others had some that just looked like trash. I understand the big galleries have clients but i don't understand who buys the cheaper pretentious art.
- Anybody, or artist's friends buy the cheapoOBBTKN
- The expensive most of the time it is used to launder money...OBBTKN
- You can't imagine the money a "famous" artist can do, when speculators buy art.
When they leave, you become the typical starving artist...OBBTKN - Very few galleries can survive now, from selling art. I know lots that have closed in the last few years around meOBBTKN
- An artist friend of mine said: one of the reasons people don't buy art, paintings, it's due to the naked walls fashion in decoration this days... lolOBBTKN
- Problem is, if you see your art cheap, people won't think you are famous/worth the investment. The high the price the high the reputation and regard.shapesalad
- Art = compound interest.shapesalad

I went down to the pub last night here in Leeds to see some band play. They were called Fatchops and were great. Outside some Sikh guy was being quite contentious about his beliefs and was getting quite aggro. He wanted to buy everyone tequila and kept telling us how much money he'd spent. A proper dick yeah? After chatting to him he admitted his wife died 3 months ago and he was a mess so I chatting a bit about it and gave him a lift home. There's always a reason why people are being angry or frustrated, and sadly for this guy his life was falling apart a day at a time.
Happy Friday guys. x
- Definitely something that has sunk in to me lately. The only reason anyone is ever nasty or horrible is because they're in pain and have been hurt themselvesset
- Certainly helps you empathise with everyone on an equal playing field, I think. Look how rescue dogs behave... They just need a bit of love.set
- For sure man. It's not so hard to be nice, but it's easy to lose your way to anger and depression.Ianbolton

This story about Connor McGregor and some woman claiming to have a live child with him keeps popping up on my phone. I finally clicked on to it and couldn't help but find it hilarious that, his child or not I really couldn't give a shit, but it's pulling his exact same crazy face hahahaha
- Love child* though it is indeed a live child too.
https://www.mirror.c…set - lol was just thinking about that. what happened that it's important to mentioned the toddler is alive.pango

Got to see Slowdive for the first time last night at Pitchfork’s Midwinter Festival at the Art Institute of Chicago. Amazing acoustics in this room, and this song was mind blowing.

Big client (pharma..) having a Leadership Week starting Tuesday in NY. Mostly fine-tuning PPTs (for 12 speakers), coordinating all the venue branding installing, and last-minute collaterals.
Can you feel the pain?

Ugh. My "uncle" who is my 2 sisters and brother's father died from a blood clot after knee surgery. My family is a wreck. And we've been on this yoyo with my brother being confirmed, then cleared, then reconfirmed with kidney cancer. My mom sounds like shes going to break.
Moving, waiting to hear on approvals on a new place, traveling on Saturday, and my one working exterior handle broke :'( I've had enough. I'm so fucking stressed.
- *Handle on my carshellie
- so sorry shellie. breathe deep. one day at a time.sarahfailin
- :( I'm sorryMaaku
- Didn't you go from LA to NY, and back to LA in the span of a year, and now you're moving again?!!? Don't you have to pay every time you break a lease?Maaku
- Sublets. But I'm going to take on a lease. I was going to take on a lease where I was at but the landlord was a drunkshellie
- And he left a present and a note in my room when I was out of town. That was the straw.shellie
- this sort of situation is what whisky was invented for. #justsayinghans_glib
- Sending positive vibes your way shellie ..robotron3k
- came here to make a post, then i saw yours -- shellie, i'm very sorry to hear about your uncle too...notype
- Robo will be in NYC for one day on the 6th or 7th. I'm driving from the midwest so I'm not sure how quickly we'll get there. Hoping for a 24 hr drive.shellie

How awful is it to let a sibling know that a family member you were close to growing up (though so many years were between you) has passed away ...via text message.
Is this the way it's done today?
Via text message?
Not knowing what the recipient is doing,
HOW they are doing...
where they are?It was my mom's brother who passed, I called her 2 hours after getting the message. She hasn't called me back, this was over 48 hours ago. I left a long voice message and asked if she or our family needed anything.
- text? no
voice message? no
phone call or in personKrassy - sorry for your loss :(Krassy
- it sucked for me to find out a friend of mine passed on FB. worse if its family. never text or voice message.pango
- Text them that you want to talk. Cmon now.monospaced
- thats how i found out about my uncle. my sister posted it on facebook. The catalyst for my breakup was my ex's sister posting her engagement on fb first....shellie
- ... everyone was in their feelings about that, including me, who basically introduced her to her fiancé. Their excuse, they didn't want us to spoil it. ( -___-)shellie
- I’d asked mono, he’d only sent me follow up texts. Shellie I remember you mentioning that story...notype
- Maybe we work in this sort of communications field because it’s so innate for us. We’re bewildered when others cannot.notype
- I guess it’s good practice to stay remain empathetic.notype
- Krassy, you are a balm my friend. Thank you.notype

A song I listen to every morning, sung by 12 year olds
(translation)Remember one year ago
I told you I love you
Your eyes filled with joy
We locked the door behind us
But now, you're with someone else
The light in your windows is turned off
But soon he will be heading home
He and I will have a talkThe snow is melting outside
Winter surrenders to spring
I'll be waiting for him at the door
Don't mind that I'm small
March snow is melting
He'll get his share, your friend
The light is still turned off
Keep playing your games- Not creepy at allmonNom

BF has been throwing up almost nightly for over a week and was sent home this morning after hurling at work. That finally convinced him to go see our doctor.
- eek!monospaced
- Ummmm good idea.robotron3k
- Jesus :(Nairn
- Yeah, it's ben a fun week.i_monk
- Damn! 3 days of barfing is more than enough. Hopefully it's nothing serious :(Maaku
- He's back, the doctor told him it looks like dehydration.i_monk
- He drinks water nonstop, but sure, somehow it's dehydration.i_monk
- I once had salmonella that caused this.DRIFTMONKEY
- Has he been eating/drinking something in particular every day? Maybe he became allergic to something and doesn't knowMaaku
- We can't figure out a pattern to it.i_monk
- for almost a week? and he's only now going to see a doctor? O_Opango
- *Over* a week. And yeah.i_monk
- Don't settle for one doctors advice, get another asap.robotron3k
- dehydration would be a result of the vomiting, not the cause.Gnash
- pregnant perhaps?Gnash
- Unlikely to be pregnant you idiot! Because Monk uses protection always.Hayzilla
- He's supposed to go back next week for a followup.i_monk
