What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

Awfully quiet here. I have been looking at news and seeing weird stuff. Do 70% of Republicans really believe that Trump lost due to voter fraud? That is an insanely high number.

Looking for some mental health advice - I’ve been dealing with pretty debilitating anxiety/panic attacks for over 5 years. Finally started to get some help for it through medication, however the first 3 meds my PCP prescribed me (ssris) didn’t work. Because I haven’t deal with the anxiety it’s gotten really bad.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

NFT’s... no interest in buying them but very interested in buying into whatever it is that makes tick. I think there’s a lot of money to be made off of such a ridiculous investment. Any ideas on what to buy to take part in the business of NFT’s, without having to pay $69 million for a drawing of a cat?

Looking for some inspiration for a project. Ads/brands from any era that have made an impact on you - whether that’s being inclusive and diverse, or making you think wtf. Could be from when you’re growing up or ones you’ve seen recently. Thoughts?

Looking for advice (& empathy): Started out in advertising, then became a journalist. Moved to the US for grad school, and back to advertising few years ago. Now stuck at a company where I’m deeply unhappy but they sponsor the visa (not H1B, so it’s not a huge ask). Also not too sure of advertising as my heart is still in journalism but this pays the bills. Wary of other companies that might push me into working (most) weekends and evenings +Still don’t fully understand the US job market. Tips?

How y’all feel about working on projects where you’re wokewashing mass, unethical brands?
