Just an obtuse man who likes to ride tall horses seeing whats up in the design community. Cover photo creds: maerten van heemskerck ๐บ๐ธ๐น๐ผ๐ต๐ธ
I like how mediocre tech tiktok ppl are like โlook at my cool tech job Iโm better than youโ and on Twitter tech ppl are like โhaha tfw deploy and bad haha fr tho I hate my life I hate myself Iโm (spiritually) a 32 yr old emoโ but then they proceed to drop the dopest shit
@jeongminnkim
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this something low-income people have been doing forever and then they get judged? Ex: someone pays for food with food stamps but they have the newest iPhone. then people use it as "proof" that poor people aren't actually suffering

But comic books have pictures, he couldโve just been enjoying the pictures. Weโve never seen him canonically read a real book before. We can totes assume he never learned to read.
@jeongminnkim
ppl in low income communities have been using this as a way to cope for a long time and it's part of systematic poverty. More affluent classes have always had little sympathy and blamed it on the suffering individuals.
@jeongminnkim
weird how this reasoning, explanation, and sympathy only gets traction when traditionally middle class individuals are starting to experience this stress too.
How many of us really wanted to be in tech? I started off as a closeted bi girl who just wanted to draw attractive girls but felt it wasnโt a โviableโ career path and started looking for careers adjacent to illustration.
My grandma really freaked out about me and my sister not being dudes because we "cAnT paSS oN THe FAmILY naMe" when we have the 4th most common surname in the world the fuck
you can do this if you raise a young monkey without a loving parent in isolation. this may drive the monkey to suicide as they starve themselves to death from despair
Just sickening to see how much hatred people have for innocent Israeli civilians AND for innocent Palestinian civilians. timeline is just people cheering on the brutalization of both populations.

youโre right, itโs worth questioning. Its pretty alarming tbh that other groups are feeling this. I do hope these discussions can help create more empathy for disadvantaged people tho. I think itโll benefit everyone in the long run, esp when its our genโs turn to create policies
LPT: Use Bing image search instead for transparent-background images. They're more reliable and have an easy option to show only transparent image results.
The best part is how much you can fix in 10-15 minutes too! Saves so much time from filing UI bug fixes, prioritizing them, and then finding the time to fix them. Itโs so satisfying.
Recognizing and acknowledging Iโm bi has been doing wonders for my self image. Starting to recognize just because Iโm attracted to a girl doesnโt mean I need to look like her.
Me reading about stock market bubbles and crashes as a kid: I would simply not participate and draw my money out before it crashes๐
Me now: hahah stock market machine go brrrrrrr
i think whenever a guy says they want a girl with autism what they really mean is that they want a nice earnest girl who has enthusiasm for hobbies and doesn't play mind games
2022 was tough. I experienced and processed a lot of loss. While Iโll still probably be grieving in 2023, Iโm pretty optimistic for the new year because of how much I learned and gained in 2022.
when I was 20 yrs old, a close friend stopped talking to me for half a year because I told her this color combo + font weight was illegible on her client's flyer
My biggest regret is identifying UX was a good field to be in 2014 but instead of capitalizing off the not yet saturated market to get a job w/the portfolio I had, I went to school for it.
Turns out the school wasnโt prepared either to teach it.
Neopets taught me so much about economic inflation and depression before I even knew what those things were. I learned so much about investing and how to capitalize on ups and downs of the Neopets market.
The key to happiness as an adult is to make many good close friends who live in different cities so that you can be really bummed that you rarely get to see them
I know there's a lot of problematic stuff on design twitter but it was one of the first places I've seen "controversial" topics be discussed instead of silenced. It has helped me realize I'm not crazy for noticing or caring about systematic problems in design.
As a straight man, which would you rather have to start your day after waking up?
1. get many kisses on the cheek from your attractive girlfriend
2. watch a 12 minute YouTube video about the Super Smash Bros Brawl mod project M
You can only choose one.
unfortunately CPTSD and ADHD are real and have been cruelly exploited by grifters, making it more challenging for many individuals who genuinely suffer from either disorder to seek the necessary help and resources, as they may worry about being lumped together with charlatans
Whatโs even more fucked up about the attacks on elderly Asians is that theyโre the ones who actually went through some real fucked shit like war, genocide, and extreme poverty. They canโt catch a fucking break.
