@jakobper @tsvenson @LiUdesign Kul! Tack! Och tack för att du berättar :)
1. Had a huge delivery yesterday that I've been working day and night to get finished on time. Very poor self-care on my part, I know, and you may have noticed some tired tweeting from me.
But wow did I just get an energy boost.
2. A half hour ago I came out of a lunch meeting where a company book club had invited me to sit with them as they discussed my book(!)
Such an amazing opportunity and so much fun. They got really concrete, discussing specific projects and what they could do differently.
3. And it all ended with a person coming up to say: "I really liked the tone of the book. Books and talks around this topic are often angry. But this was like a father sitting down with his children and telling them the ways of the world, you know like friendly."
4. I can't tell you how much this meant to me. I truly want to be considerate, and encourage rather than deflate, and am happy that I can from time to time succeed in this.
We're all in this together. I do believe we make progress by picking each other up, not by forcing blame.
5. And I know I do not always succeed and my introvert side can get the best of me - which can be interpreted as being stuck-up and difficult. And sometimes I also get angry. Like in my "rap" earlier today. There's always a balance. I take a deep breath, and get on with it.
6. My point is, I'm in a better mood. And being in a better mood makes me better at helping others. Which is what I want.
Schedule energy boosts. Tell people you appreciate them.
I believe in you. You should too.

@gustavgatu @feedbin That part is to deter a lot of automation of cross-channel tracking. As when companies share databases with each other to draw conclusions about behavior, wherein the e-mail address is a unique id. Hackers get a harder time as well.
But really it's just me experimenting :)
These days I mostly see job postings when they are forwarded to me for "amusement", which is a problem because more and more I feel some responsibility to take a stand against the atrocities.
This is for a "UX/UI Designer". x.com/axbom/status/1…
Now I want to conduct research to find out what organizations think they are asking for when they say UX/UI Designer and conversely what candidates think they are applying for.
Or just make a rap song about how data is another word for users.
🎼 I saw four people in a drive-in queue
I told one of them "well hey, fuck you!"
And then there were three.
They were just data to me.
Data. A number for a person.
Data. Are you paying attention?
Data. Don't be unaware.
Data. It's how I show I care.
Is this how I come undone...?
When I first heard about having to "register to vote" in the US it didn't make sense to me. Now I understand how it works. But it still doesn't make any sense. Thankful for this 2016 writeup featuring @whitneyq, which uses Sweden as an example.

Another enlightening article, from 2008.

"the United States ranks 139 out of 172 countries when it comes to turnout"

@radicallyrach Makes me wonder how many of these relationships there are and if it's common, or not possible, to find yourself in both roles.
"And data is just another word for users."
Excuse me while I go scream into a pillow.

@radicallyrach Amazing how much that story contains. Six months though!

@radicallyrach Ah. Excuse my impulsive twittering, my cognitive capacities are in a slump this evening.

@radicallyrach At some point before leaving Facebook I had more friends that weren't friends than I had friends who were. For a while the word lost significance. Now I think of a friend as anyone I know I would enjoy going for a long walk with and I believe they would feel the same. 😊

@DesignAThought Isn’t that just a fancy word for a template? Like Masterclass is a fancy name for a workshop 😀
Apple TV+ on iOS is a bizarre interaction design mess. I don’t know what’s part of the subscription, what I have to pay for, what I can’t even watch without an additional subscription. And then I haven’t even started on the continuity disaster of watching series...
