you pity the moth confusing a lamp for the moon, yet here you are confusing a screen for the world

Maya Angelou died 10 years ago today, every day is a great day to read her work but especially today:

…also many people learning you need to break in a pair of cowboy boots before they’re comfortable (prairie girl here)

So many cowgirls and boys at Coachella. Incredible how much influence Beyoncé has even when she’s not there

Enjoyed this interview in @hunterwalk’s newsletter especially the bit on “slope > y-intercept”. Fascinated by the paradox where early stage founders say don’t hire big tech yet VCs still want to see those logos under names on a pitch deck https://t.co/sej65ksvws

Weekend listening with @karina_bernacki. I love Karina’s perspectives on managing humans so much. Not one of, but *the best* people leader and coach I’ve worked with.

@tomcoates @figma @canva @vsco @capcutapp lol okay almost owe es

[Hannah Donovan @Han]

It’s starting to feel like @figma @canva @vsco @capcutapp are the design tools of the future. I find myself opening Creative Suite less and less (and yes I know Figma is owned by Adobe)

Mesmerized by these pumpkin sculptures by Adam Bierton via @nytimes https://t.co/qaMHovYHJM

It struck me how progressive that is because a coloring page with that image is not something you’d find in a typical book. Anyway, today the internet did a nice thing.

[Hannah Donovan @Han]

We often hear about how AI disappoints when it comes to diversity, but today I sent my sister a link to an AI coloring book generator, she (a wheelchair user) generated an image with a wheelchair and her response was “wow cool!” 😊

[Hannah Donovan @Han]

@bengold Makes sense! It’s also just…faster sometimes

[Hannah Donovan @Han]

I feel like my lifelong design hack just got legitimized 😅

[Alex @Alexnicolai]

Hearing @linear 's designers take screenshots and designing on top of that, disregard design systems and fancy figma files is a refreshing revelation.

"Because in the end, what is the user looking at?"

He's so right. We should focus on work that improves the product.

Obviously this type of productivity is best suited for small teams or solo designers. As you scale, it's a good idea to get organized around a design system.

@jonty Seriously? Are they weather-proof ish? I feel like they would look so cool nestled into a bunch of succulents

(Obv there is not much “weather” here)

[Hannah Donovan @Han]

@seanxthielen @_baukunst @thecpe @HipCityReg So sad to miss it this time! Will there be a recording to catch later?
