Was digging through some old writing from over a year ago when I was getting started and came across these rules I wrote down. I think I've largely followed them with a few lapses here and there. Wanted to share...Maybe not for everyone and I don't claim to know everything 🤷‍♂️

Hi everyone 👋 — So, behind all of those drops we had a product the entire time. I always loved the idea floated that we were some sort of product studio but we're not that cool. I'm really excited to finally unveil Stir and open up our beta.

My GP passed from Covid last year. Back then, guests weren't allowed in hospitals so my dad couldn't say bye. I wanted to find a way to ease his pain. I asked @LaurenSafier to paint a photo I took of him outside the butcher shop. She just finished. It's...amazing. TY Lauren ❤️
