@TToyger 🤮 happens

[Ying Yao ✨ @yingsaysthings]

Felt the weight ease off my shoulders to learn that designers shouldn't strive to have libraries, docs, standards, roadmap, governance, etc established and running at the same time 😵 Thank you Nicole and Teresa!

The expansion of the Universe is one of the hardest things to explain because of two features that appear to be true but are extremely difficult to conceptualize:
1) it started from everywhere (no origin point)
2) it's happening everywhere in the same way (no center)

@anitaycheng @Firstofallputa @angelapham Here's the genesis of the "No Edge Case" cards and how they've helped me design more inclusively across a wide spectrum of considerations: https://t.co/fbiNDJ54em

[Sharky @AskSharky]

@ajt76 Great question. “Edge cases” is purposefully in quotes because here in the Bay Area we’re sometimes so engrossed in our own privilege that we forget that not everyone is like us.

How to design for all socioeconomic backgrounds - 1. Reflect reality 2. De-bubble 3. Be simple, straightforward, & human 4. Embrace “edge cases” 5. Hire from all socioeconomic backgrounds #WIA19SF

“You are not your user.” A good reminder to kick off World IA Day. #WIAD19SF

Nowadays, to be a writer one must also be:

-A comedian
-A social media strategist
-A graphic designer
-An inspirational speaker
-Swift as a coursing river
-Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

WTG, @jlsalerno9!

I am loving the latest cover of T+L, plus the couple pieces from yours truly on the inside. I also got to work on a bunch of cool stories in this issue: Val d’Aran in Spain’s #Pyrenees,… https://t.co/yff4nxFI3Y

I like this idea! https://t.co/NsoMVQCQce

Who would be interested in a collaborative structured content group? Instead of a “stitch and bitch” we could call it a “chunk and drunk”

A "thallus" is a blobby plant lacking stems, leaves, and roots.

A "phallus" is an image of the male reproductive organ.

Crap. And now we've found water on Mars... Post production of The Martian @andyweirauthor #intelcontent

[Sharky @AskSharky]

@MarciaRJohnston @aames Ugh. I wish I could be in two places at once. Can't wait to review the presentation.

[Sharky @AskSharky]

Strategy before tactics is wrong. Who is our audience and what we going to say that is relevant to them? #intelcontent

[Sharky @AskSharky]

Personalization is not about abuse of information. It MUST be a mutually beneficial relationship. #intelcontent

[Sharky @AskSharky]

It's so simple, but we tend to forget. The content and the presentation are two different things. #intelcontent
