This week’s newsletter discusses Inclusive Design Communities, @SamKap’s great new primer, as well as @Shopify’s recent “calendar purge.” What does an inclusive workplace look and feel like?

I mentioned this in the Lex interview, but it is official now:

Keen Technologies, my new AGI company, has raised a $20M round, led by @natfriedman and @danielgross, with @patrickc, @tobi, @sequoia, @CapitalFactory, and Jim Keller participating.

Part 2 went up the next day, and links to @Stampalofi, an artist reusing fax machines to make masters! https://t.co/jCEIZpU0Wx

[AustinUX.org @AustinUX]

Print Gocco came up during my screen printing phase, but then @acc_UX_Molly and I bought and failed to repair a vintage Riso and I never went back to it. This is fascinating work on how the Gocco works, and might be a path to easier home printing masters!

I documented some of my recent experiments in reverse-engineering the Print Gocco, a Japanese DIY printmaking tool from the 1970s. You can read about it here: https://t.co/AQj1KsIYz6

Who wants to come hear me blabber about career, life choices, and stuff? ☺️

Trick question, you can't tell them apart, and the asker has their own expectations. UX isn't a field, it's an assortment of stolen practices from actual fields to paper over whatever dysfunctions an organization has, and everyone's "expertise" is biased by that.

[World of Engineering @engineers_feed]

Two people are claiming to be an expert in your field, one is and one is faking. What question do you ask to find the imposter?
