Not The Dog Issue ☀️
TUESDAY | 2.3.26
Out now is The Home Issue. After that is The Sleep Issue. There is no Dog Issue in 2026, but there is The David Attenborough Issue, The Photo Issue, The Surf Issue, The Florida Issue, and The Interview Issue, where 18 people we greatly admire will each interview one person whom they admire. To ensure we don’t get bored, there’s The Flow Photo Contest with Kodak and friends, partnerships with folks like Patagonia, Ōura Ring, and Framebridge, and this almost daily newsletter we call Afternoon Delight. Plus, The Sunday Morning Playlist, invites to come stay at Flow for a night or two, job openings to join the crew, quality concerts and events, the occasional lottery ticket, and late nights with the creative director. But maybe most important… giveback programs and initiatives we are fortunate enough to support with local and national organizations such as Surfrider, Music Farming, charity: water, Hi How Are You Project, Re:wild, and others at the Flow buildings. Thanks for being here. We should probably do The Dog Issue next year.
All the Buzz
Barry B. Benson walked so that stingless bees in the Amazon could run. As of December 2025, these little guys have officially become the first insects to gain legal rights. Keep up the good fight.
The Flow Print Shop
The Photo Contest is coming down the line later this year. In the meantime, we started up The Flow Print Shop, in partnership with Framebridge, to continue to support the photographers who got involved last year. Grab one here.
Let the Games Begin
Pull out the foam fingers. The 2026 Winter Olympics start this Friday over in the land of spaghetti and olive oil. We’ll be rooting for our pal Mark and all the other folks putting their best foot forward. Peep the schedule.
Other Good News & Happenings
Veronika the Cow is really pulling out all of the stops. Or should we say sticks.
Something good. A harvest mouse housewarming with David Attenborough.
Gloves for your feet, aka Flow socks. Stay warm out there.
The stingless bees story is wild tbh. Legal rights for insects feels like sci-fi, but it's actually a pretty smart way to protect ecosystems by giving them standing in courts. I wonder how this precedent could scale to othr pollinators or keystone species that are harder to quantify economically.
Love the Flow Print Shop with Framebridge! <3
