Taking a break from tech to work on a luxury fashion brand with my mum. She hand paints all the designs. I it first collection is a set of silk scarves and we’re moving into skirts and jackets soon.
Been a wonderful journey to connect with my mum in this way. And also to make something physical that I can actually touch. Tech seems so…ephemeral at times
Wow, I balked at the price initially, but it actually seems cheap after learning they are hand painted, that's amazing. I can easily imagine there are people willing to pay a lot more for these.
Some earnest and unsolicited feedback on the website: the scroll-based transition is not really working well, looks very jumpy in Safari/MacOS, maybe interpolating between states will help smooth it out. Design-wise, the blur effect is quite jarring, and the product list screams Shopify store and not luxury brand. You already have pretty good photography, I'd feature the portraits heavily instead of the flat product shot. Invest in great typography.
this is super cool. congrats and best of luck with it! Love the mother & son backstory to the product. The scarves look like they could make a great gift as well. I'll bookmark your website.
My friend has fixed his flat feet by focusing on yoga poses that engage the “knife edge” of his feet (ie: the outside). It took some time but he reckons it’s very noticeable. Maybe worth a try?
cool app. maybe its already possible but i'm missing how but would be awesome if dragging a new node between an existing connection it would automatically insert it between the nodes to avoid the steps to disconnect / reconnect
Came here to say both of these things. I’ve had very similar experiences. I think treating ADHD as a trauma response doesn’t have anywhere near enough attention (pun intended).
I’m excited for the psychedelic renaissance that seems to be occurring. So much of this comes back to our internal mechanisms for feeling “safe”. If we weren’t taught that by our parents (which many don’t sadly) then it’s hard to find it later in life without very deliberate work.
One day after school, my dad and I arrived home and he told me, "Sit down in the lounge room, and don't talk". I thought I was in some kind of trouble, but when he didn't turn on any lights, and walked over to the CD player I knew something was about to happen.
"We're going to listen to something, and I don't want to say anything until it's done", he said. Then he proceeded to play "A Momentary Lapse of Reason". It changed my life.
It was the first time I realised you can listen to music like you'd watch a film. The depth of the soundscapes still influence me as a musician today.
Totally agree. The variance between species can be dramatic! 2.5 grams of Golden teacher was a standard trip, vs 0.5 grams of PES Amazonian was enough to send my friend into a full blown “awakening” (physical responses and everything).
It’s fascinating how they can hit different.
Also important to keep in mind the same dose can hit someone different each time depending on surrounding life conditions. I’m a big believer that the mushrooms “show you what you need to see” at any given moment, and that can sometimes range considerably.

Hallucinogenic experiences are rarely the same. So you can use the same amount of the same batch 3 different times and have 3 totally different experiences.
Some people claim that you can control experiences by contolling "set and setting." I don't buy even that; all we can really say is that the experiences are not consistent between trips and we don't know why.
Is there not a value in drawing interdisciplinary ties between fields? Physics underpins reality, would it not be feasible that it's laws scale to higher order complexities?
