my entire identity is political, so the notion of bringing your "whole self to work" isn't and has never been an actual invitation to me or much of any other Black person i know.

…not saying this doesn’t already happen cuz it def does… but imagine if there were MORE 😳

we live in a horror film.

[earl @nnn_rl]

imagine being born as anything other than a cis-het-yt male this year & 20+ years from now, landing a job under a people manager from florida that doesn’t know shit about the history of the country they live in. (assuming there are still ‘Others’ in tech, that is.)

she didn’t even make wedding websites and websites are a service not (necessarily) art…

anyway in case you think as a designer christianity and queer rights don’t affect you, they do, it’s literally why i have my podcast

[earl @nnn_rl]

@leeloowrites don’t have to think much about systems if you can still make a profit without their careful consideration. there’s [seemingly] no [monetary] incentive 😮‍💨

[earl @nnn_rl]

did everything i wanted to do today 😊

[earl @nnn_rl]

@itsmewhiteman this.

[earl @nnn_rl]

this is wild, yet predictable. sure, it’s focused around race but why wouldn’t this undoing ultimately seep into gender eventually? i’d argue that yt women, especially, should be up in arms about this rn. it’s too much to explain here… just know it’s coming from a historical pov

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court rules colleges and universities must stop considering race in admissions, putting an end to affirmative action in higher education. https://t.co/qCOtkgbxQO

i get like half of my sunglasses from claire’s and they’re usually the ones that get complimented the most

[earl @nnn_rl]

crying in public don’t never be the move but i stay doing it 🫠

[earl @nnn_rl]

@LateNiteKonkolo 🖤 i’m having a tough time. feels tougher after having such a bomb ass week last week

[earl @nnn_rl]

willed myself into the gym today. tears and all. go me 🥲

[earl @nnn_rl]

being frustrated over some new shit is not where i like to be yet here i am, once again😩

[earl @nnn_rl]

fr bc when did they decide to add this?!? had me all the way fckd up this weekend. still won tho😎

[Angie Jones @techgirl1908]

bruh this card and all its lil friends can kiss my ass

[earl @nnn_rl]

the question is, are ppl actually doing this differently? and how? 🤔

[earl @nnn_rl]

capitalism doesn’t actually allow the research function to flourish in the direction of “the users”. we’re forced to find creative ways “around” that while keeping the business top of mind (bc that’s why we do research), so we will always have an uphill [losing?] battle to fight

[earl @nnn_rl]

i don’t think this is that hot of a take 🤷🏾‍♀️ we do research to find a finesse and tbh, it’s kind of a bummer. but hey… get that money

[earl @nnn_rl]

ppl see the laughs & pics & think shit is just sweet automatically. like, nah… you gotta work for this
