TQS takes on cult classics: Jack-o-lanterns' faces emerge from the darkness.

Boo! (Got you.) It’s October and Halloween and all that.  So, (super)naturally, we’ve got takes.  Classic movies and music. Wrong opinions about candy corn.

TQS takes on school

TQS takes on school: A well-lit library displays wooden bookshelves stacked with books.

Back to school, eh? That’s got us thinking. And remembering. Thinking and remembering. That’s what we’re doing. Fondly or not, we’re flashing back to our old school days—and we’re inviting you to experience every bad haircut, heartache, and hardship we endured along the way. Does anyone have a happy memory from kindergarten to college graduation? […]

TQS takes on pet projects

TQS Pet Projects: LEFT: A man looks at a portable gaming system. RIGHT: A nondescript wedding invitation

What are these pet projects we speak of? Somewhere between hobbies and a side hustles, our pet projects are pursuits of passion outside the typical nine-to-five. That means YouTube videos, podcasts, thousands of Instagram followers—and that’s just one Quilted Squirrel staffer! (Spoiler: It’s Tyler.) But a few others do some pretty cool stuff outside of […]

Welcome to the not-so-secret world of pet owners. We’ve been yappin’ a bit about Barkology, Buffalo’s first and only indoor dog park and bar—mostly because we just revamped its website with some fresh photos and what-not. Then someone on Slack was like, “Yo, cats or dogs?” So we rambled on about that for a minute. […]

Words of encouragement: Why word choice matters in the workplace

Words Have Meaning: A speech bubble with a quesiton mark, a speech bubble with ellipses (three dots), and a speech bubble with an exclamation point are displayed on top of a yellow background.

Has this ever happened to you? For better or worse—consciously or not—you’ve gotten in your head about the smallest, “stupidest” things, many of which involve certain words or wording. Misinterpreting your value in the simplest conversations. “What am I even talking about?” Second-guessing yourself. “Why did I say that?”  Grappling with internal criticisms. “You are […]

TQS takes on golf

“Fore!” That’s what we’re yelling because look out! Our Quilted Squirrel staffers are taking on golf. And why not? Golf season is in—ahem—full swing. With the PGA Championship teeing off tomorrow and Father’s Day right around the corner, we’re ready to grip and rip it, whatever that means. What does that mean? It doesn’t matter. […]

Marmot Madness! Squirrels vs. Everybody

Marmot Madness: A gymnansium full of wild animals play a basketball game.

Hey yo. We’re gonna level with you here. We wanted to put together some sort of March Madness-inspired bracket for you to fill out, but we didn’t. Not enough time. It could have been cool, though, maybe… kind of… sort of? It would have been a tournament where our faithful fans and followers (Mom?) could […]
