Dear White People, I don't know why I feel the need to keep talking to you. I don't know why part of me still has hope for you and for us. Some of you are too far gone. But maybe enough of you aren't and will join us in fighting to end white supremacy.

Well, that's just the _most_ unhelpful error message @linkedin.com. I've tried 5 times now. Why don't you suggest something else for me to do? #HeadDesk

We’re cancelling the guilty part of guilty pleasures. Wanna read romance books and drink cheap wine? Valid. Watch the trashiest reality show and scroll through Amazon? I support this. Listen to the same early 2000s pop song a thousand times in a row? Why stop there? Find that joy and SQUEEZE.

This week, my friend Maria and I launched Kit Research and Strategy, a small collective offering services to companies who can't afford to hire in-house research help. Check us out: kitresearchandstrategy.com #UXR #UXResearch #Research #Strategy #NewBusiness #CoFounder #LaunchWeek

This thread is full of my kinda people. #WordNerds

We need to make Good Trouble on Monday, Jan 20th, for Trump’s inauguration. I propose volunteer work, peaceful protesting and holding community space all while participating in a complete media blackout of the inauguration.

I’m told this is a neurodivergent thing - collecting beverage containers and dishes near your workspace. But is it also a Virgo thing? Or a book nerd thing? Or just a cold person thing? Or an Enneagram 9 thing? Or a worker thing? Or just a person thing?

Every time I have a large portion of text to type up, I think about Miss Rose. She was my 9th grade typing teacher. I think she was single and was at least in her 60s. We all sat around the edges of the room, facing our monitors. Miss Rose would clear out the desks in the center of the room...

This one was a random grab at the library based on the title and half the front flap. Not even halfway through and totally taken with it. ✨ The Psychology of Time Travel, by Kate Mascarenhas #AmReading #Booksky

Hi, Outlook. We need to talk about the difference between 'nothing planned' and 'no meetings on a Thursday'. 😖

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

Today's been one of those days where I have zero engaged focus energy, but you best believe I checked about 18 things off my random list of 5-minute tasks!

I heard somewhere that tinnitus is your ancestors trying to get your attention. The ringing in my ears just sounds like one ancestor left the car door open.

The ongoing genocide in Gaza has resulted in nearly 100,000 individuals sustaining life-altering injuries and disabilities. One. Hundred. Thousand.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

One fun thing about coming out is that in embracing who I am and what I love, I've been able to go back to some things I used to do that were just *pure Jess*. Exhibit A: buying all the old Sperry docksiders at Goodwill in every color and just *loving* the crap outta them. #NB #Nonbinary #Queer

Biden can't milk his family tragedies anymore. He can't expect us to grieve with him over his lost relatives & to gain from our extending sympathy to him. Why does his family matter, but thousands of families in Palestine & Lebanon don't matter when he murders them? @sleeplessin.bsky.social

Kinda makes sense when you consider the name...

Ok, points for GoDaddy's phone support - they let you opt out of the hold music. Sitting in blissful silence while I wait. #HellYes #HumansFirst #LetMeChoose #NoisePollution #OverStim

How we feel about the cold front this week:

This was a delightful read with coffee to kick off my Monday! I love everything @premeemohamed.com has written and her newsletter is *chef's kiss* (because it's never too-frequent and when it shows up, it's a surprise and so fun!).

To my fellow #DVSurvivors, I just want you to know that there are people out there who recognize and apologize for their mistakes the first time without you having to ask. Hold on for them. I promise it's possible, and I promise it's worth it. All green flags, too.

Jesus Christ it’s only Tuesday

The neighbors have four small grandkids over for the holiday week, and one of the boys just dashed out into the backyard shouting, 'This way, me lads! C'mon, laddies!'

I have a question for #vegetarian 🦋- do we think the social popularity of Impossible meat and Beyond Beef helped old familiar brands like Gardein or hurt them? I never ate Gardein before Impossible came out, but now I buy it all the time. What’s your take?

Damn.

Hey #BookSky - I'm selfishly very excited for this event that the #UXR Guild is hosting on Dec. 6: A #BookChat with @sladner.bsky.social, author and strategist, about the books she read this year that expanded her thinking. www.linkedin.com/events/72629... It's free to join! Hope to see you there!
