"Inequality is a design outcome. We can redesign products and systems that eradicate inequality."

[Misono Allen @AtelierMisono]

"Anti-racist design results from a conscious decision to make frequent, consistent, equity-focused design choices. These choices require ongoing self-awareness, self-reflection, and education as we move through the design process." - @enid_montague #DCdesignweek

[Misono Allen @AtelierMisono]

"Anti-racist design is not about who you are, what you believe, what messages you share personally. It is about what you do as a designer."

✩ “Web accessibility is not an optional extra. What inclusion looks like in practice will depend on your products, your users, and what you intend to achieve, but … it cannot be an afterthought.” @oluoluoxenfree guides us toward a more inclusive web.

Be “selectively ignorant.”

Ignore topics that drain your attention.

Unfollow people that drain your energy.

Abandon projects that drain your time.

Do not keep up with it all. The more selectively ignorant you become, the more broadly knowledgable you can be.

Something I wish I’d been reminded of when I was learning to code:

Just watching coding tutorials is like going to the gym just to watch someone else lift weights.

It’s valuable to see how experts do it, but to actually build your coding skills—you’ve got to code!

[julia ferraioli @juliaferraioli]

I've been working remotely for 2.5 years. The past 2.5 months have left me more *exhausted* than ever before.

This is your reminder that you're not working remotely. You're working remotely during a global health crisis.

“It was decided Cisco Webex — whose picture quality is sharper than that of most other services — would be their primary video-conference tool.”

Read how @AllRiseCBS became the prime-time scripted program currently on air to be produced remotely.
