Daydreams, Softness, and a Little Nostalgia

It's 420, and we'd rather be melting into literally any space that has been designed or curated by Patricia Bustos. It truly feels like stepping into the most fun daydream.

Can you believe it's already the last full week of the month? Feels like just yesterday we were all in the haze of 420 weekend, and now we're already creeping towards the end of April. Time is weird like that, huh? But here we are, basking in the warmth of spring. Longer days, sunshine pouring in, and everything just feels a little more alive. There's a buzz in the air, and we’re here for it. Whether it’s Carmen Sandiego out there still teaching us about the world (shout out to geography & computer class), or that feeling when Ravyn Lenae’s voice hits just right on the playlist, it’s really little moments that feel big right now!

Here's your reminder to take time to do nothing, or at least do nothing with purpose. Whether that means zoning out to a new track, getting lost in an animation, or just kicking back and letting your thoughts float through the air like smoke - those quiet moments can be the most impactful. No pressure. No rush. Just... be, you know?

We get it. Life can be a lot, so why not take a pause to let your mind wander for a bit? Maybe even spark up your own little escape 😌

So, without further ado, we have our weekly inspiration for you to spark your afternoon daydreams. 🌿✨

Is Human Touch The Key To Impactful Design?

Stills Report 2025 - Birthday Cake - Flash Photography

Stills just dropped their Visual Trends Report for 2025, and it’s basically a mood board for the year ahead. Think texture, playfulness, and a big dose of visual softness, stuff that feels more like a hug than a headline. It’s a look at how artists and designers are leaning into feeling over perfection, and why the work hitting now is all about emotional clarity, even when it’s a little weird. Honestly? It’s a really really nice switch up to see Human Touch being highlighted as something so impactful.

Soft Shapes & Softer Emotions

Cecilia Reeve’s Porous is a quiet kind of mesmerizing, like zoning out in a daydream you didn’t realize you needed. Soft movements, slowed-down gestures, and subtle textures pull you into a loop that feels part dance, part deep breath. It’s a gentle reminder that softness can still hold weight, and that being porous, emotionally or otherwise; isn’t a weakness, but a way of being open to the world.

Where TF is Carmen Sandiego?

Carmen Sandiego has been slipping through our fingers for 40 years now, and somehow she’s still cooler than most of us. Inverse takes a look at how the trench-coated icon evolved from an educational computer game into a full-blown cultural moment. Red hat, red coat, no fixed location. Carmen's still out there, doing her thing. And yeah, we’re still chasing her.
