This is the part where I live tweet my #uxrconf talk (thx for the idea @albanvillamil @uxrcollective).
1/ We all have those phases in our lives where we’re not sure what we’re doing with our career. I’m going to talk about a concept called #Ikigai that can help navigate this.
Thanks The Internet for spending 480 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Special Affair. #SpotifyWrapped open.spotify.com/artist/7GN9…

I dont know Elon Musk and, tbh, I could care less who owns twitter. But I will say that if this is true, I hope he and his people take this very seriously because this is scary AF. So many damn unfit people saying hate speech is free speech.
Elon Musk's Twitter takeover sparked a surge in the use of the N-word on the social media platform.
A social media research group told The Washington Post the use of the slur increased by nearly 500%. news.yahoo.com/n-word-twitte…

When speaking publicly about Truth and Reconciliation
I am often asked “Can you suggest one thing I can do for Reconciliation?” I never have a ready answer for this, so on this #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation, here is a list of simple things you can do: a thread…
this was so moving "come into the movement and make the resistance irresistible" YES🙏
getting so much energy from this amazing panel and event ❤️ #CriticalUX
great advice (paraphrased) from @SFath: find your political home (or disposition), make time for critical learning (and reflection), get involved in the work (especially abolition), and make the movement irresistible #CriticalUX
This is cool!

The School for Poetic Computation is an artist-run school in NY exploring the intersections of code, design, hardware and theory — focusing on artistic intervention. It’s a hybrid of a school, residency and research group.

Learning about some cool orgs 🙏

"ctrn is a space of convening for those organizing against the design, experimentation, and deployment of carceral technologies."
Yes please!

(cont. Design Justice principles)
10-Before seeking new design solutions, we look for what is already working at the community level. We honor and uplift traditional, indigenous, and local knowledge and practices.

7-We share design knowledge and tools with our communities.
8-We work towards sustainable, community-led and -controlled outcomes.
9-We work towards non-exploitative solutions that reconnect us to the earth and to each other.

5-We see the role of the designer as a facilitator rather than an expert.
6-We believe that everyone is an expert based on their own lived experience, & that we all have unique and brilliant contributions to bring to a design process.

3-We prioritize design’s impact on the community over the intentions of the designer.
4-We view change as emergent from an accountable, accessible, and collaborative process, rather than as a point at the end of a process.

love these Design Justice principles
1-We use design to sustain, heal, and empower our communities, as well as to seek liberation from exploitative and oppressive systems.
2-We center the voices of those who are directly impacted by the outcomes of the design process.

#criticalux panel discussion: Incrementalism is the main survival tactic of police - they're not doing it (it = body cams, choke hold bans, etc.) to change, they're doing it to survive. Police change just enough to preserve themselves as an institution. #abolishthepolice

I am so stoked for this final panel of #CriticalUX: "Design as Resistance," leading off with one of my favorite voices in design as a path for subversion and abolition, @SFath ❤️
I highly recommend their essay "abolish the cop in your (designers) head" designmuseumfoundation.org/a…
Delighted to be able to catch the last bit of the #criticalux panels by @hmntycntrd -- currently discussing 'Design as Resistance' + the inner cop and security nihilism (ie. not engaging in privacy/security measures/surveilling practices - despite how these affect the aggregate)
Grateful to the nurses and volunteers at the @BIC_BSIA vaccine pop up today — easy to park, lines moving quickly, super well organized 🙏🏻❤️ thank you for making this process simple — and for relieving some Covid stress 🙏🏻❤️
Come over and get vaccinated if you haven’t already. Lines are short! Walk-ins are from 12-5pm today. Make sure to dress warm. We can’t wait to see you!

The only way to guarantee no political discussion at an organization is to only hire people where the result of politics does not affect them.
Just saying "we only hire rich white cis men" would have been a 1000 words shorter, @jasonfried.
