My agency (forge.coop) did the design for Zohran’s campaign. While I wish I played a part, it was all the masterful work of my partners, Aneesh and Phil. Having worked with these 2 for close to a decade, it’s no surprise they created what many consider (the most?) iconic political branding. I’ve seen Aneesh go deep into the archives of typography and color theory, and Phil spend hours custom-building animations to bring a UI to life. HYPED to see their work getting the credit it deserves.
people of color in america have been suffering silently for the last year or so. not all of us live in new york city, but @ZohranKMamdani's win is symbolic and significant beyond mere geography. it's the first ray of light in one of the darkest phases of american politics

Breaking News: Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old state lawmaker from Queens, will be the 111th mayor of New York. He will be the first Muslim to ever lead the city, as well as its first South Asian mayor and the youngest mayor in more than a century. nyti.ms/4qK137J
love to see so many people interacting with this post and sending in their stories. here's a direct link for fiction submissions: jmww.submittable.com/submit/…
why is new york post so explicitly, shamelessly anti-mamdani? never seen a single article that isn't trying to s*** on him. aren't they supposed to be neutral??

americans are on some elite capitalist drugs. they would rather 42 million people not eat than the billionaires lose a couple of millions because hey elon musk works a billion times harder than the single mom with three kids amirite?

I've had so many "almost there" moments in my writing career. Good rejections, a temporary agent, a read by Harper Collins, good reviews. The hardest part of being a writer isn’t the rejection. It’s holding the faith between flashes of proof.
