I love getting a solid cold email or DM from founders! No need for an intro to 1517. Some things will make your message standout and get a response (faster than others)π§΅:
We need to get kids looking up to the people who are building the futureβjust like past generations were inspired by astronauts and scientists. They should aspire to be the innovators, engineers, and creators shaping tomorrowβnot just TikTokers and YouTubers, but the trueβ¦

The good ol' days
My kids asked me what games I used to play on my IPad as a kid. I told them I used to speak into a fan to sound like a robot.
Anyone in Little Rock, Arkansas? Free for dinner tomorrow if anyone wants to meet up!

Today, on BART. 5 minute sketch with a brush pen. I stopped posting these, because X always feels like it doesnβt love art, buuuuuut I showed the guy after I did it, and the way his face lit up made me realize itβs not for the internet. Itβs for one dude at a time, and honestlyβ¦
Today would have been my dadβs 74th birthday. This season carries gravity. Fatherβs Day, his birthday, and the anniversary of his passing all fall within 60 days. For me, grief has no straight path. It revisits, reshapes, and rises when I least expect it. But alongside itβ¦
