A Day in the Life of Tao Porchon-Lynch

A Day in the Life of Tao Porchon-Lynch

by Michelle Bushneff | Mar 23, 2022 | BIGthinkster Spotlight, Create, Innovate

Close your eyes, and imagine a typical day if you’re 96 years old. I know, should any of us outlive the average life span by 15 years, it’s tough (and maybe a bit scary) to envision how that will play out. But what if you imagined age is just a number, and...

Like many relationships in today’s world, I first met Fiterazzi Magazine founder Jackelyn Ho “virtually” when I hired her to do a week-long Instagram takeover for my former employer. I was super impressed with her bold mission, passion and talent. ...

MAKE THIS 👉 salted caramel & butterscotch zucch MAKE THIS 👉 salted caramel & butterscotch zucchini cake 👇 INGREDIENTS (see notes for subs) ▢ 1 c @octonutsca Salted Caramel Cashew Butter (essential ingredient, imo 🙌🏻) ▢ 1/4 c Octonuts Vanilla Almond Protein Powder¹ ▢ 1 egg ▢ 1/3 c scotch (or whiskey)² ▢ 1 tsp baking soda ▢ 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract ▢ 1/4 tsp salt ▢ 1 1/2 c shredded zucchini, tightly packed (~2 small) ▢ 1 c butterscotch flavored chips³ STEPS ✦ Preheat oven to 350 degrees. ✦ Prepare a cake pan. I use a 9” springform pan, lining the bottom with parchment and spraying the sides with cooking spray — makes it easy to remove the cake. A regular 8” or 9” square / round pan, prepped with parchment and / or cooking spray, also works. ✦ Combine cashew butter, almond powder, egg, scotch, salt, baking soda, and vanilla; mix until smooth with no lumps. ✦ Add shredded zucchini and butterscotch chips; mix until evenly combined. ✦ Pour batter into prepared pan. ✦ Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If using an 8” pan, cook 40-50 minutes. Notes: 1️⃣ You can substitute regular almond flour or try another grain-free flour, like cassava. 2️⃣ I’ve also made this with water instead of scotch, but all my taste testers preferred this version. 🥃 3️⃣ For a lower sugar option, try @lilys_sweets Sweets Butterscotch Flavor Baking Chips — sweetened with erythritol and stevia. I’m generally not a fan of artificially sweetened products, but these are not bad. Recipe adapted from @pamelasalzman’s AMAZING Grain-Free Chocolate Zucchini Cake. You must try this cake — it’s been a hit with everyone, whether or not they have dietary restrictions. #glutenfreebaking #glutenfree #saltedcaramel #butterscotch #zucchinirecipes #zucchinibread #glutenfreerecipes

𝐉𝐮𝐱𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 → The reality is, we’re all aging — much better than the alternative, right?!? Y’all know I’m exploring how generative AI treats age (among other things). No surprise — our media and cultural bias toward a young, supermodel standard of beauty is the default, and you’ll see many AI artists rehashing that norm. I ponder… when you can imagine nearly ANYTHING with generative AI, why replicate the status quo?!? The rebel in me likes to challenge default thinking, which led me to create this 𝐉𝐮𝐱𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 series of moving portraits where I imagined an older woman recreating a portrait from her youth. The intent is to show that, when viewed through the lens of time, age has an affect on our appearance. Still, our ageless core is steadfast. For everyone reading, inclusive of all ages, I hope this content lifts your perennial spirit. ✨ #perennnialspirit #aiartcommunity #midjourney #aicreative

How is AI changing your creative flow? 💭 This How is AI changing your creative flow? 💭 This gif shows my process from straight out of AI to final design of a custom logo. I used Midjourney to collaboratively ideate and capture design requirements in real-time with a beloved client. From there, I customized the SOOAI design using a combo of Photoshop and Midjourney. Overall, AI tools helped accelerate the process exponentially. #aiassisted #aicreativity #logo #logodesign #aidesign #midjourney #aidesign #aicreative #ailogodesign
