I think 'designer' is the corporate equivalent of being a DJ- in that everyone in the org thinks they can 'take a stab at it' because they designed a poster once in high school...
I am not happy at work…looking to move to a company that actually supports women. My dms are open if anyone is looking for a product designer in the MES/IIoT space.

They read the room and decided over 7 months ago that they were in favor of another Trump presidency. By they I mean the entire Democratic Party.
If they Democratic Party actually wanted to “save democracy” they wouldn’t have ran an unpopular demenced candidate.
@YonahLieberman
Sorry any elected official that can’t call this a genocide does not deserve a moment of peace. If they don’t like it they can quite bring public officials.

Thanks for speaking up for me! But considering Shaiel cursed me out it's not worth engaging with a clearly emotionally unwell zionist.

Some of us were indoctrinated into this ideology from birth, and respectfully when you grow up in a cult (no matter how wild the belief system is) breaking free mentally is actually one of the hardest steps.
@EladNehorai
There needs to be more talk of the dehumanizing language ALL around- the whole children of light/children of darkness rhetoric has been nothing short of horrific.
@LindseyCreated
Agreed. Also genuinely don’t understand why people without a uterus feel like their opinion on this subject is one in which we need to hear 🤷🏻♀️

At this point what does he need protection from? There will be no accountability for him. He is at the end of his career and life.
Now he gets to ethnically cleanse Gaza *as a treat*
I have been working as a UX/UI designer for the past 9 months but I have been realizing my job has also always had a ‘service design for enterprise’ component to it that I have naturally gravitated towards. How do I formalize this?!

Was Brianna actually a "main victim" or is there any truth to the rumors she inserted herself into gamergate (and possibly made up some of the alleged harassment that she claimed)?
I've been asked am I Middle Eastern or Arab and what's my connection to the conflict. I'm a pale white guy from Ireland, living in NYC, who sees a genocide happening and wants to stop it. Anyone can join this fight

I have been thinking about that.
It’s really ghoulish how many ppl on here either questioning the estimated numbers or don’t actually care,

Lol I think one can have a toxic mother regardless if she was the bread winner or more traditional SAH mom.
I grew up with the trad SAH mom, and the older I get the more I question if I have ever loved or respected her.

Can someone please do a deep dive on the Hormozi’s as basic buisness math can tell you the likely hood that they are running a “200 mm” buisness is slim to non.
What do you do when you feel you are burning out? Woke up this morning wanting to take the day/rest of the week off, but with go-live and other stuff in the mix that feels like a major dick move.
If you are going to make a propaganda Hulu ad utilizing AI you could at least attempt to make it believable.
In unrelated news did you know Israel once banned crayons from entering Gaza?
@kthalps
Katie I respect and love your voice- but think it's important to recognize when someone is clearly a paid hasbaraist. They should be condemned and then ignored (as all they really want is attention).
A Zionist proudly committing a hate crime on camera. For anyone still unsure what Zionism is look no further that Yoseph Haddad!
@metpoliceuk
are hate crimes legal in the UK?
4 days away from leaving the most toxic work environment I have ever been in…my dudes if a company is a parade of red flags RUN, it will not get better.
Incase it wasn’t sufficiently clear- Zionists are in the midst of a psychosis.
This is not ok, these people are not ok, and I think those of use with the capacity and proximity need to urge them to genuinely seek help.
🚨BREAKING: A truly vile desecration of Holocaust memory‼️ At this solemn memorial park, Zionists display a large replica of blood-stained trousers from an Oct 7 abductee. These trousers have been cynically wielded as evidence of rape & to justify the genocide in

Just learned Harvard Law School has a program on "Jewish and Israeli law." In the context of Palestine, Lebanon and Syria it's one class ... for 10 minutes.
@justincarroll
While I agree freelancing can be more lucrative for some people, as a freelancer myself I think selling people on the idea that you only need to spend an hour a day on a client is unrealistic.
Finally had my performance review and salary revisions and I have to say I can’t believe I stayed for this shit. I don’t have a formal exit date but my advice to others- if you feel like a place is toxic trust your gut and leave.
@beccalew
I take it you read the “techno-optimist manifesto” 😂
I am honestly shocked there hasn’t been any real coverage of Marc Andreessen tweeting about how he is “Marinetti-Pilled”.
@BigMeanInternet
Deprograming from a death cult is not easy. I don’t have any sympathy for Zionists but I think it’s easier to understand them when you realize they are basically Jewish Qanon.
This is true and would just like to add they will build you something expensive and will be opaque as hell if you ask them to break it down for you. In many ways UX/product design acts as both a translator and a middle man ensuring your building in the correct direction!
Any Junior UX designers (with a focus on UI) looking for a fully remote freelance gig? Just got emailed about a ft 6-month contract that's paying $35 - $41 an hr. Happy to forward the listing to anyone that's interested.
Does anyone else feel like it may be nearing the time to leave the US? Or am I just insanely privileged and don't know how good we have it?
I told myself if book burnings started that would be my out, but a planned day of "Jewish hate" is uh hitting a bit too close to home.
In college I transferred to an art school in Boston. The first Shabbat I visited BU’s Hillel house I was greeted (by a friend I made in Midrasha in Jerusalem) by a side eye and asked what I was doing there.
Hillel has never been a welcoming or inclusive Jewish space.
Hillel has NEVER been a center of Jewish life for me, nor has it for so many Jews I know. We have been pushed out/made to feel uncomfortable there if we do not toe the line on Israel.
One positive outcome of my burnout is it is bringing out a spicier side of my professional persona. I don't have time for anyone's bullshit, and as a result have had some really banging mic drop moments...
I have been joking about writing a book or starting a podcast- work shopping the title “bad designer”.
How would I define this you may wonder? A short 🧵
I am very skeptical that these posters were put up by genuine pro-Hamas activists, rather than those seeking to satirize, critique, or discredit such sentiments. Would treat with caution, like all such viral content on this subject.
Let’s do some basic critical thinking- if slashing a painting of a racist is “vile”, what do you call flattening a person alive with a tank?
Inquiring minds desperately want to know!
Not just professionally- for a lot of people 2023 has been one of the WORST years of life. I don’t have any pithy words- this has been an incredibly hard year personally. Imo if you are alive rn you have “made it”.
Every single established freelance creative I know has been having the worst year of their ~ entire ~ career this year (including me). I know so many people selling off their electronics and gear just to make rent.
This should be obvious but I guess not everyone got the memo- if your founding a women's health tech company and your founding team is 3 middle-aged dudes you have a major fucking problem on your hands.
