Dave's Picks | NYT | Welcome to the YOLO Economy
File Under: Choose happiness. Now?
Here’s a fascinating piece regarding a COVID trend, courtesy of WFH and the perils of our seemingly never ending lockdown. Perhaps you’ve made similar moves or know folks who, in the spirit of YOLO, were able to leave stable jobs in favor of postpandemic adventure? While we realize not everyone is fortunate to be so flexible as to abandon jobs or even careers in pursuit of happiness, it does beg a good look at the ways we can adapt, how perspectives shift, and how we prioritize as a society when backed into the corners of our homes, in order to simply stay alive.

Dave's Picks | NYTMag | ‘I Voted’ Stickers for Everyone Who Needs One
A New York Magazine collab with 48 artists.
Hey kids look: Stickers! Super cool VOTING Edition!! And please, I know you know but DON’T SIT THIS ELECTION OUT. We need all hands ON DECK.
From NY Mag:
Perhaps you’re voting by mail this year. Millions of Americans are doing so, more than ever before, and many of them for the first time. What these voters need is I VOTED stickers. And so New York, in partnership with I am a voter., asked 48 artists to design them. The cover of the October 26 issue of the magazine will be converted to a sticker sheet, featuring contributions from Shepard Fairey, KAWS, Barbara Kruger, David Hammons, Laurie Simmons, Amy Sherald, Baron Von Fancy, Marilyn Minter, Lorna Simpson, Tawny Chatmon, Rico Gatson, Zipeng Zhu, Adam Pendleton, Adam J. Kurtz, Zaria Forman, and many more. There will be four different covers, each with 12 stickers — enough that each reader can wear a different one daily, from publication through to Election Day.
