I wonder if I’d be more accepting of the passage of time if I threw out all my makeup when I was supposed to

Doing less work > doing work for appearances. And I’ll die on this hill over and over again. Still believe this results in overall better outcomes, but you really have to hold out for actual years for people to realize.

Meeting my college roommate/friend of 20+ years, thinking about how all I ever saw myself doing was writing novels in Ann Arbor. Now I’m getting ready in a hotel across the country, getting ready for a day full of actual job meetings, and there are two grey hairs just sticking straight up. How???

Sitting in a local coffee shop and a woman on FaceTime near me just said: “I’m in a Starbucks.”

Does anyone else feel relieved to have a slight return to healthier times (at least in spirit) with this shift to new social media platforms? I have more thoughts for my blog, but yeah I feel comforted and relived to have a sense of community and connection re-emerging.

Fondly remembering when I went in for my annual physical this year and the doctor took one look at my intake form and said: “Are you here to get diagnosed for ADHD?” No? That “no” has gotten a lot more curious in the last several months, that’s for sure.

It’s important to remember that resisting takes many forms—including throwing sand in the gears and just not… rolling over in advance—and they’re all needed and useful.

Approaching a full decade as a UXer. 🤠 IA turned UXD turned UX Strategist turned Service Designer turned UXR. There’s so much wrong with this field, but one thing that’s just the absolute best: constant change and endless opportunity

Now using the AI playlist create feature as a car game. I put in a prompt and he listens to the playlist to guess the theme. Highly recommend

People aren't always aware of the ways their privilege shows up, but one very toxic way I've seen in the last 2 weeks is dismissing vulnerable people's very legitimate fears about what's to come as just "politics."

“The online world has become so hostile to users that Bluesky’s pitch of ‘here is a straightforward feed of text-based user-generated posts that we promise not to mess with’ is revelatory.” — @bcmerchant.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/bloodint...

Bluesky's success is a rejection of big tech's operating system

No bad adtech, no AI, no throttling links. Bluesky is a booming because it's everything big tech is not

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

Designer currently working as a researcher here. Two years as a dedicated researcher later, I continue to believe that the split of design and research into two separate roles is a net negative in the product space where speed is top priority. What do you think?

‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything: “The capitalism of today has produced a global, digital ghost mall, filled with botshit, crap gadgets from companies with consonant-heavy brand names and cryptocurrency scams.”

‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything

The term describes the slow decay of online platforms such as Facebook. But what if we’ve entered the ‘enshittocene’?
