Aliens have invaded. More evidence: I found this unusual caterpillar this weekend.
Please read the material @acarrolldesign shared nitter.cf/acarrolldesign/status/… and watch her statement about leaving AIGA’s board: youtube.com/watch?v=doW9oesB…
I’m so tired of my contributions being ignored, or worse, stolen & credited to larger organizations that don’t hold themselves accountable to the messages they’re pushing out. Take your logo off this message. @CRXLAB and I have been saying this (and doing to work for years)!

Are you registered to vote? Today is the last day to register if you are a NY state resident. Register online: voterreg.dmv.ny.gov/MotorVot…. Or hit up one of the @VoteOswego booths if you are on the @sunyoswego campus.

If you are in Oswego and need help registering to vote, look for @VoteOswego around campus to help you out, and, while you are at it, check out some of the great design work by @ArtDeptAtOswego student Danielle Benincasa! #NationalVoterRegistrationDay

“Looks like click bait, but it is real. There really are 51 free mockups...” —@MiloAxelrod use these resources for your portfolio. #aigaemerge #getWorkedUp
Designing a portfolio is a design project like no other you have done. Faculty know your work (so not a good test audience) — need to explain your work to someone who is not familiar is key. —⁦@MiloAxelrod⁩ #getworkedup

Everything in the work world can be remote, especially the interview part. Good reminders from ⁦@MiloAxelrod⁩ #getworkedup

Inspire the team to be the best they can be. Don’t change who they are. Eleazer Hernandez reminds us that we shouldn’t impose our style/visions on others — let individuals have agency. #getWorkedUp #aigaemerge
The path to leadership: Be approachable and accessible; solicit and give advice; honest engagement. Eleazer Hernandez at #getWorkedUp
