@BosPublicRadio My healthcare provider sent me a link automatically to sign up for a vaccine appointment. I didn’t even know I needed to have a comorbidity. And now I can’t wait to get it. So I’m not suffering any moral doubts.

“Digital Investigative Ethnography.” Using the power of context, it’s a thing they do @ShorensteinCtr to understand mis/disinformation on media. #ethnography

Anyone who saw her speak at the #UXRconference knows to expect a provocative and inspiring session from @SekaiFarai One more great reason to attend #UXPABOS20 #uxresearch #empathyisoverrated

[UXPA Boston @uxpaboston]

Our #UXPABOS20 Keynote speaker, @SekaiFarai will be presenting on a topic more important than ever to explore. In "The Misapplication of Empathy," Farai will help us explore how to move forward when #empathy may be unavailable in research & design. https://t.co/xv9yevL50z

Being There: I think we are all finding that workshops are different When You're Not in the Room @houstonuxpa #uxpa #uspabos #designresearch #uxdesign #innovation #uxr https://t.co/CtE3aZdLYE

What's really shocking is that we legally allow employers to pay ridiculously low wages to workers. If your business model means keeping your employees in poverty, you don't have a viable business.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

People who think the extra unemployment compensation is too generous tend to be those who aren’t too familiar with what it’s like to feed a family and pay rent and utilities on $370 a week.

[anthony alvarez @EthnoAtLarge]

@JoyceWhiteVance well there is at least one @randpaul

[anthony alvarez @EthnoAtLarge]

I couldn't ever imagine agreeing with Rand Paul. Before this.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

We cannot give up liberty for security. Local law enforcement can and should be handling these situations in our cities but there is no place for federal troops or unidentified federal agents rounding people up at will. https://t.co/vkSHmlOzDW

The support is unreal tonight wow #PortlandProtest

[Commissioner Eudaly @ChloeEudalyPDX]

Portland is just a test run—the Department of Homeland Security has openly stated that they intend to replicate these tactics in cities across the nation. Cities that believe that Black lives matter, that demand racial equity, and are striving toward justice.

“As a designer, we refer to empathy, research, discovery, solutions, and success metrics in our day-to-day — but rarely is this methodology applied to the world around us.” Read the post on @UXdesigncc. https://t.co/MYXsI3cMdI
