2020 is the Year of the Conformist
Fellow Conformist,
An opportunity is before us. With our choices in this new year, Conformists can work to unite our communities and advocate for changes that will bring prosperity to all. In 2020, Conformist Briefings will include ways that you can help create a better world.
Conformist Assignment: Voice Your Thanks
This week, let a creator whose work you value know that their efforts are appreciated. Comment on an Instagram post instead of liking it, respond to an email newsletter, reach out to a podcaster, email an author, post a comment on a blog post. For this assignment, choose someone who you do not know personally.
Tell them what about their work resonates with you or why it's so important or helpful to you. Thank them for their work. No critiques or questions about technique - simply offer a unique thank you from a real person. That means it should be more substantive than just "great work, man!" or "wow your work is so inspiring."
Conformist Feature: Craft Your Life Planner
Apropos of the new year, Conformists may find useful the Craft Your Life Planner by Conformist #19-840-0002. A 38-page annual goal-setting guide and reflection tool especially designed for creatives, the Planner is free to download.
Reminder: Registered Conformists may submit projects for feature consideration. If you did not submit one when you registered, simply email support@bureauofconformity.us with a URL and one-sentence project description. If you have not registered, you can do so here.
New Design: Conformist Bee
Like Conformists, honey bees work together to bring prosperity to their hive. The Bureau's honey bee symbol represents the mass of Conformist Drones who labor for the good of all. It is available for purchase in the Bureau of Conformity shop as a unisex hemp shirt, youth organic cotton tee, and organic cotton onesie for the smallest Conformists in your life.
Yours in Conformity,
Drake Starling
Director, Bureau of Conformity
