CIVICS LESSON
“Here’s the thing about rights. They’re not supposed to be voted on. That’s why they call them rights.”

But still, because you’re good at your job, they will consume. And while they consume what you’ve made it will shape them. They’ll spend their money and — more valuably — their time. They’ll spend their lives trying to become what you tell them they should be. That’s a pretty huge responsibility. Is what you’re making helping humans flourish?

OMG I didn’t know until reading this that the entire lawsuit Oracle brought against Google hangs on nine lines of code that I swear are like the easiest most rote shit in literally the entire history of neckbeards which means that on the one hand it’s like damn bro why didn’t you just write…

The Yikes Twins hooded towels are so incredible I’m pissed I didn’t think of it first. Great for every kid, they come in everything from rabbit to alligator, princess to super hero, unicorn to monster, and everything in between. Personally, I’d opt for a turquoise monster myself (mostly because of that kid’s pose in the photo.) Also, I have no words to describe the baby in the bear towel…
Oh, and they make bibs, too.

WANT! All of your favorite Star Wars characters as adorable plushies. Oh, and did I mention they talk?
Each plush has a signature sound effect when you squeeze them: R2-D2 with his bleeps and bloops, Chewbacca with a Wookiee growl, Darth Vader’s creepy stalker breathing, and Yoda with his patented advice for young Jedi-to-be.
My kids are going to have all of them. They’re going to be so cool…

These reclaimed teddy bears from the EKL Bearmy melt my heart.
Tara Logsdon rescues discarded teddy bears that are in grave need of physical and psychological repair from thrift stores. From there, long hours in the OR are spent repairing their dismembered appendages using hand-stitching techniques. Each bear goes through a full sensory make over in which they are given a new heart to deal with abandonment issues and eyes for a better outlook on life. Once the patient makes a full recovery and they are ready to be adopted and come with a unique prescription that must be followed until they have adapted to their new environment.
Not only is this an ADORABLE idea, but it means that each bear is 100% unique. With their button eyes, patches, beads, baubles, and various other adornments, these bears are really, well, cool. I want a whole army! I mean, bearmy…

About
Here’s a long story about Missy Titus:
When I was younger, I won first place in the Science Fair. 6 years in a row. The judges said it was my attention to detail and strict adherence to the Scientific Method. Meanwhile, my dad noticed a spark for art and encouraged me to take extracurricular art classes. I ignored him completely.
In high school, I excelled at math and science. When I was deciding what I wanted to do with my life, my (asian) mother encouraged me to major in Math or Architecture. I ignored her completely.
Instead, I became an Art Major, concentrating in graphic design. I held several jobs throughout my college career, one of which was at the Admissions Office, where, after 2 years, I volunteered to learn actionscript to replace a team member who had graduated. After college, I got a job doing UI for Flash games.
You may be wondering why all this is relevant. That’s a great question! Over the years, I struggled to bring the creative and analytical sides of my brain together. While I liked math and science, I never saw either as a viable career path. Through art school, I always knew something didn’t completely fit. It wasn’t until the last several years that I even knew UX was a thing. And that it’s about problem solving, combining creativity with analytics. And I discovered that I’m pretty good at it.
Here’s a short story about Missy Titus:
I’m a UI/UX designer with a background in Visual design. I like to solve problems. Ping me, let’s talk.
