Living in the suburbs may not make you a racist, but the housing policies that created them were. Catch #AdamRuins the suburbs On Demand!

@cherryrae There is a way to turn that off but it’s not the most convenient thing if you need to toggle it on/off frequently (although some people set up a macro to do that). https://t.co/BJTTBv4UNa

Accessible design isn’t just about disability. If we want to make products which are usable by everyone, we have to consider EVERYONE. Young, old, abled, and disabled. I believe in the wonderful designers in our community; I know we can do it!

Important piece from Don Norman about designing for the elderly 'I wrote a book on user-friendly design. What I see today horrifies me'

Of course! I know how hard it is to break into a new field. I’m happy to help 😊

That being said, anyone who’s looking for a great junior UX designer to join their team (or knows someone who is) my good friend Ed is eager to dive in and learn the ropes!

I’m on a personal mission to get UX people to stop using the phrase “user tests.”

We’re not testing the user. We’re testing the design.

The phrase I prefer is usability testing.

We must stop creating imagery that we’re running people through mazes to test their frustration.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The myth that bad credit or struggling w bills = irresponsibility is a heinous myth.

Paying people less than what’s needed to live is what’s actually irresponsible.

GDP + costs are rising, wages are not. That doesn’t mean YOU’RE bad. It means working people are set up to fail.

@sriceux @dianadbrown Seriously, your panel on leadership was my favorite of the whole day! You both did a wonderful job and I learned a ton! 😃

[Shannon Crescent @ShannonCrescent]

@CeliaHodent your keynote was great! It also meant the world to me to see a female up there talking about UX AND gaming! Two of my favorite things :D
