💻 Product Design I’m not nearly as interesting as I pretend to be online. Will post about books / games / UX stuff / stupid day to day shit that no one cares about.

Er moet me toch iets van het hart. Hoe komt het dat in de tijden waarbij digitale toegankelijkheid vanuit de EU gepusht wordt, zoiets stoms als NL festivalwebsites met het jaar minder bruikbaar worden? De nieuwe Lowlands homepagina is onleesbaar. Een quirky identiteit gaat niet boven bruikbaarheid.

The balance between being politically engaged and politically burnt out is on a razors edge — and that is by design. You cannot fight the good fight if you allow yourself get mired in their “slinging shit at the wall” tactics. Pick topics you care about and pursue them, leave the rest for another. 🧵

New Years Resolution: Avoid Meta(services) as much as humanly possible. Use the block button liberally on TikTok. I don't think 'echochamber' is a dirty word anymore, not when most of the global social media all but pledged allegiance to Trump. It is not a badge of honor to stay on the Bad Places.

Just 40 more minutes and then it’s happy #WindandTruth release day for my fellow Europeans! Sadly, I must wait two more days, as a little birdie told me Sinterklaas is currently queueing for the release and is visiting us on Sunday. He better deliver or the old man will catch these hands.

It’s been a while, I’ve been busy! How are you all doing, what’s going on in your life?

So how do we deal with the balance of interacting in a work-related sphere & (not) publicizing your employer? Maybe it’s the chronically online millennial in me that is naturally suspicious of everyone 👀 (not that this info isn’t findable on Google). Why do/don’t you show your employer on Bsky?

Signal boost!

Why is it easier to get shit done when I imagine myself as someone who cosplays responsible adulthood? It’s like a role I assume, but it works, I swear.

So… What are we DIYing for Crafty Christmas though? 🧶 #craftsky

Sinterklaas as an adult is just making increasingly elaborate art projects that double as gag gifts and poems that are just roasts. Anyway I’m making some smut books for my friend, still in progress & two more to go. In needs of more smut puns, if ya got any. #DutchCulture

#promosky Lookin’ for moots/mutuals 25’ish and up! ✨ 30 • she/her 🇳🇱 Netherlands 💻 Product Designer (UX) 🎮 Gaming, most obsessed with Steamdeck atm 📚 Reading, primarily fantasy 🧶 Allround craft girlie 🍄 Bad at gardening, but I do it anyway 🌙 Big on the Cosmere

Laundry is done! Here’s a tip I once heard: don’t spend too much time on planning your to-do lists. It can actually trick your brain in giving off dopamine for *making the list* instead of *doing the task*. This is probably why I get stuck in limbo after planning out my day.

So, it sounds like some copies of Stormlight Archive Wind and Truth went out early. Please refrain from posting spoilers into the feed until after the official launch. Also, please be careful looking at the feed if you're sensitive to spoilers. Thanks!

I want to follow more UX / design people but I don’t want my feed to feel like LinkedIn, I’m sick of the clickbaity hot takes. Give me real people with real design problems and solutions & not people trying to market themselves. Where you at?

Hi, I’m God. Jesus said he wants you all to have free healthcare. Love, God

TGIF! How will I start my weekend you ask? By panic crafting a gift for tomorrow, which I could/should have started weeks ago when I planned to make it. Obviously. This is the way of the crafter.

we are all god’s children and he locked us in a hot car

I don't think you guys know how fully AFK I will be when #WindsAndTruth drops in 2 weeks. This man has prepared another meal of about 500.000 words and I intend to EAT -- do not even perceive me during this time, I will not exist thank you #Cosmere

As I am getting acclimated: what’s the best way to filter out bot/grifter content sharing Boomer-esque generated AI images with “god bless” captions? Feels like Facebook dead internet theory. Is there a “not interested” btn I’ve not yet spotted, or do I just scroll past?
