🎧 New episode just dropped! I sat down w/ UX leader @cperfetti.bsky.social, who’s blending her consulting work w/ a mission-driven passion project called Lift Up Connections. Great convo if you're questioning... 👉 Should I stay in UX, or is it time to pivot? Listen Now: bit.ly/uxconsultant...

Is it just me, or does your trust increase a little when you see a typo or grammar slip in a post or email these days? My brain instantly goes, “Ah, a real human wrote this.”

StubHub is hiding tickets due to a filter being on by default and it's an Information Architecture fail. 🤦‍♀️ When users can’t find what is on your website, it's failed. Your IA is actively getting in their way. StubHub’s fix? Blame the seller... 🤯

Looking forward to #IAC25 next month in Philly! Hope to see some of you there!

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Who’s working on DOGE related trackers? So far I'm aware of: 
 - cancelled contracts: app.g2xchange.com/doge-tracker
 - data rescue project: www.datarescueproject.org/dr-tracker-d... - federal cuts tracker map: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... - layoff tracker: layoffs.fyi

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

More of this!

Tell 'em, Mayor Wu!

IAC has always been more than a conference—it’s a volunteer-run community where professionals return year after year for encouragement, camaraderie, and resilience. Especially in turbulent times, we stand together.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Wiped out or fired up? ❤️‍🔥Thank you so much to @matteowong.bsky.social for writing about us!

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to cut funding for cancer and rare disease research. A federal judge temporarily blocked the cuts in some states, but this fight is not over. We can’t let them play politics with our health.

This week’s newsletter is about why we're not marching in the streets as much as we were last time. (Look, I gave you donuts last week.) buttondown.com/monteiro/arc...

My kids & I are losing the battle of convincing my husband to get a dog. 😞 We’ve been trying for years, but he’s really hung up on the cost & responsibility. I can’t argue that either will be great, but truly believe the love/joy will be worth it. Any suggestions about what we could do to sway him?

When you grow up in LA it's hard to wrap your head around how small other places are.
