@CuriousScutter Just started my day watching a user test where they literally said (about a tooltip I wrote) "All in all, I'd say it's a pretty garbage description." Wonder if it was the same user? 😂

[Megan O'Neill @maoneill]

Yesssssss 🤩

video: navigating a Figma prototype using VoiceOver, showing a visual dropdown that receives cursor focus and clicking.

I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a book. Weeeeee!

[Abby Covert @Abby_the_IA]

STUCK? Diagrams Help.

In fact, diagrams help so much I wrote a whole book about them. And it is now available for purchase 🤗

@nicoletellsit Ladle. It’s super fun to say a bunch of times in a row: ladle ladle ladle ladle ladle…

@jarango I feel this! FigJam sections have been a game changer for me. Being able to label and link to individual sections have made it easier to get collaborators to the right spot — and to point back to related work from project documentation. I’d love to have multi-page FigJam files.

@P_Pinda @figma This was amazing. Thanks so much!

[Megan O'Neill @maoneill]

@leahspig This has happened to me on multiple occasions 🔪

I used to write about other people's career-change journeys on the Codecademy blog. Little did I know that future me would be writing a guest post about my own!

@janeruffino Ahh nothing like the unexpected banana order! If you have peanut butter… a smoothie with frozen banana, peanut butter, and almond milk (or probably any milk variety) is one of the most delicious things that exists.

[Megan O'Neill @maoneill]

@classy_ashy That sprinkle handle! 🤩

[Megan O'Neill @maoneill]

@hellomeganw Saw you on the Config agenda and did a double-take lol 😆 Hello from one retro-loving Megan O'Neill to another. Looking forward to your talk!

A lot of people say that middle age white when are the most knowledgeable about streetwear

That’s only because we got into the game at an early age…

If you ever catch me saying 'I only work part time', call me out. I work the hours I work, and I work hard.

Words like 'just' and 'only' can be dangerous and can act as microaggressors, particularly for disabled people.
