@AmericanAir ‘s response was basically that they were sorry I had a bad time and that they hope I continue being a customer. Nothing in the way of asking for more details about the bug infested hotel. They’re probably going to send more people there!
What are the odds! I was able to run into THE @JWonggg in 2012 at youmacon, and today I’ve met him again at Dreamhack in 2019! Always the nicest guy, hope to catch a sighting of him again in the future!!!
Hah! I’ve definitely had conversations with family members that started with “Have you eaten yet?” and are fast followed up with “You’re not married yet?”
The whiplash is real. #dcc18
Farai’s talk really makes me think about things I’ve heard in the past - I grew up in a culture that values a respect of elders and the importance of modesty, and yet I often get feedback that I am not proud of my own work. I am. Is it not just a difference in culture? #dcc18
It’s 2018, there are so many different types of people living so many different types of lives... and we are still using two options for gender? Come on now. Let’s try a little bit harder. #dcc18
We talk about these big companies messing up and having questionable ethics and we can laugh about it because ‘that’s not us’. But reality is that a lot of us work for big corporations. We need to use our voice to change this culture. We need to take responsibility. #dcc18
It’s true, I’ve heard a lot from other designers that design systems can feel stifling. Maybe we should stop looking at it as rigid guidelines, and more like the different colors of paint on your palette that you can mix and match together to paint the picture you want? #dcc18
You know talking about reading conprehension problems makes me really think about how my immigrant parents experience the English speaking world. How can I design content that my parents would be able to easily understand? #dcc18
I might not have a permanent cognitive disability, but dealing with migraines and lack of sleep is a constant struggle on a day to day basic. I’ve just never thought of it as a temporary disability. I should really start using that feeling as a point of empathy. #dcc18
We have a responsibility as designers not ONLY to understand how people are using our products in other countries but also to really understand the deeper context behind what it is about their lives that informs how they interact with the world. #dcc18
How do we break down the walls of exclusion... like the (sometimes literal) BARRIERS between women of color and the types of jobs that they should have an equal opportunity access to?? #dcc18
First talk of the day at #DCC18 and we are having REAL TALKS about how the creation of the projects and the REAL IMPACT in the segregation of people by the color of their skin because of things like exclusive design... damn. What a compelling start to the day
First time here and I’m already loving how inclusive and accessible #DCC18 is. Pronouns on our name badges! Live captioning! LGBTQIA representation! Small things go a long way.
