Here are 20 photos of @softcircle to honor his milestone birthday today!!! Im so incredibly grateful to have a partner who keeps life fun, who is rich in talents, creativity, and friends, and who shows so much love for our family! 🎂❤️
After the fitting meeting, we adjusted the jeans slightly—adding a bit more room around the hips while keeping the same shape through the legs.
The fabric is a Japanese selvage denim chosen for herself, along with the front pocket fabric, top button, rivets, stitch color, and leather patch.
Each detail was selected to match her taste and lifestyle.
These jeans are made just for her, from fit to finish.
We hope they become part of her everyday life and wear-in beautifully over time.

Thank you☝️☝️
@kateth325 prefers a high-rise waist with straight legs and just a touch of ease.
Today’s her sample fitting session—where we fine-tune the fit and make any final adjustments before crafting her bespoke pair.
Together, we select everything from Japanese selvage denim to pocket linings, top button, fly, rivets, leather patch, and stitch color.
From silhouette to every detail, her jeans will be built exactly how she wants them—one piece at a time.

Happy birthday to this man @softcircle !!! A guy who does it all without ever losing drive, motivation, or energy. Who has the most enviable collection of tshirts. Who can fall asleep anywhere (if you truly know Hisham you have witnessed this). Whose creativity knows no limits and who encourages the same in our son. And whose love I feel grateful to receive everyday. Happy birthday Hisham!
This is my favorite photo with my dad. One weekend morning he took me and my brothers to the portrait studio to take our annual kids photo. I was three years old and cried and cried because I wanted him to be in the photo with us. Despite being in his “running clothes” he hopped in the photo. He always laughed about this photo and I now treasure it.
My father Warren Thompson left this earth on March 28th at 8am. My brothers and I spent his last night watching over him as he peacefully transitioned to whatever comes after this world. We provided a last act of care and comfort towards a man who spent his entire life with the care and comfort of others as his greatest priority.
I wish I could adequately summarize my dad in the small space of an IG post, but the task seems too daunting right now. Instead I’ll borrow the words of a dear friend who said this to me “Your dad is such a light- he has always been THE definition of graciousness and warmth. I’ve never met anyone who could engage and make you feel so welcome and heard in a conversation”.
My mother died of cancer in 1995 and my father spent the last 29 years guiding us through the sadness of missing someone so important. I can’t fathom a life without either of them but I’ll use what I learned from my dad to get through the aches of early and long term grief and take comfort in hoping that they’re reunited in another realm.
Do something good for the world in his honor if you feel like it in the next few days if you feel so inclined. That would bring a smile to his face.
Happy birthday to @softcircle I’ve known this man for almost 20 years and I feel blessed to have a partner who shows up with presence in both the good and the hard times in life (all while having the energy of a 25 year old 😜).
During my work as a psychotherapist Im always surprised when people apologize for crying in front of me. Of all the places one can cry, I would think psychotherapy (and funerals) is a place we can all agree is an acceptable place to let out some tears. But I think it speaks to a greater idea that crying is something we should keep to ourselves. Years ago @bstosuy began to notice that he often saw people/strangers crying alone to themselves (a guy with a muffin, joggers, a guy with a mohawk eating a fruit salad) which he began to document in a series of tweets. It’s from those tweets that the idea of Sad Happens was born. Sad Happens is an anthology of essays about crying from 115 contributors. It’s a celebration of tears. We all cry for a multitude of reasons and I hope this book makes people pause before apologizing to anyone else for their tears. Beware: you will cry reading this book which is just a great reminder of how humans can connect to one another. A portion of the proceeds from sales will go to The Trevor Project which is an organization which focuses on suicide prevention amongst LGBTQ+ youth.
Each essay is beautifully illustrated by @cosmicpeacestudio My essay is about crying in a psychotherapy session where I was the psychotherapist. 😢
Thank you Brandon for including me and thank you Rose for such a beautiful image that accompanies my essay (and which also happens to be the book cover image).
