The case for friction.
"[...] a study has shown that the fact that you have to be slower when you take notes by hand is what makes it more useful in the long run."
Pen and paper is not necessarily the answer, but considered thought is.

Looking at construction guides for dog houses and I think I found one that's on my level of expertise:
"Measure your dog to see the minimum size your dog house needs to be. Always make it larger than your dog."
When people are human resources we require analytics about humans.

Okay, after that insane GOT binge I'm back to books and no iPad in the bedroom for a while. Want to be more active on GoodReads. And yes, I am reading 3 books currently - that is my default behavior 😂
1 fiction
1 tech
1 neuroscience

@beantin @JennaMoorhouse Chiming in to thank and agree. These words of support are heart-warming.
So many conflicts of interest stories I'm reading now.
Never accept "I honestly don't see a conflict of interest."
The correct response would be "I see how there could be a potential for bias and these are the steps we have taken to minimize that: ...".
e.g. Transparency.
"[...] there is little point to diversifying institutions, practices, and processes that ultimately sustain colonial imperatives."
Boom. The Editorial Statement on Decolonising Design is worth a read.

@zbreakstone Nice, hadn't seen that one! Thanks!
@zbreakstone Wow, quickly becomes rather expensive given that each new editor costs money, and even as much money as the first editor! I'll keep looking.

What digital whiteboards for sticky notes do you use? Extra plus if it doesn't require login...

Reading conversations between people who keep misunderstanding each other but also still keep being very polite about it - is both endearing and very distressing.

@standupmackan @MichisLeo @Fredsplacerad Lite tidigare än så. Ni har båda rätt :) Kom först i svartvitt, sedan i färg. Dockorna har i princip sett likadana ut sedan 1960 (enligt Wikipedia). sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalle,_Ju…

@marcusosterberg 😢 Okunnighet och cementerade fördomar hos samhällets konstruktörer är vår tids största fiender. När möjligheten att inkludera aldrig varit större stänger vi ute allt fler.
@marcusosterberg Jag ser obligatorisk utbildning/coaching som en nyckel till bot och bättring. Vi kan inte styra framtiden med värderingar från 80-talet.

@harvest Hi! Is there a way for me to send invoices with "labels" in two different languages (Swedish / English)? I seem to only be able to invoice in one language and then delete translatations 😕 to get English again?
