@FidelityPodcast It’s in the queue.

There is such a dichotomy in being 'pro-life' on a woman's right to choose, but pro AR-15s which are designed to kill. It just doesn't compute. Infuriating and baffling.

Get mad. Get organized. Be prepared to lose (a lot). Be in it for the long haul.

That's what anti-choice activists did and they never had the majority of public opinion on their side.

We are hiring, and I made this short video about our design manager role & team. So if you are leading designers, like complex systems, live in NA, and looking to find more purpose in your work, this might be your role.

Help my friend @cawlin celebrate his birthday and support his awesome project on Kickstarter. Amazing illustration by @artwhack, too!

Two designers from our Benevity design team made this. It’s amazing and If you play D&D you should get it. Check out Gig Economy by Colin Sproule on @Kickstarter https://t.co/FifCWlsEbF

So lovely to catch up w @DesignSingh, founder of @WeAreDesignX w the @loblawdigital UX team today 🎉

Wild to reflect on how much #DesignX has done to bring us all together before and throughout the pandemic, so many of us literally owe our jobs to @DesignSingh 💕

Hey, @Grammarly you blew me away today with the new Grammarly Mac desktop app. This is a game-changer for me personally. Plus, for a widget so integrated into the system, the onboarding was amazing. Well done!

This piece on case study structure should be made mandatory reading in all boot camp curriculum.

[Randy J. Hunt @randyjhunt]

This is an exceptionally good analysis of the current state of product design portfolio case studies paried with solid recommendations (that demand critical thinking and unique solutions!). Kudos @fabriciot and @caioab https://t.co/QP93ZM4Xbq

@zachhalvorson The new tabs are a dumpster fire of usability. They are an example of designers being innovative for the sake of it. It solves no real problem. I’ve wasted so much time trying to find the tab I want.

[jaybeallanson @jaybeallanson]

@gruber it’s 2021 it’s time you finally make reading Daring Fireball on my phone less painful. Seriously pinch and zoom 🤦‍♂️ ps… great Safari 15 tabs piece 👏

[jaybeallanson @jaybeallanson]

@drewzie Congratulations. I might have said years not months 😀

Future me:

Interviewer: “What sort of impact did you have in your Design Manager role?”

Me: “Well, I got 20+ people talking about hot dogs for about 60 mins every week for over x years.”
