This week’s newsletter discusses Inclusive Design Communities, @SamKap’s great new primer, as well as @Shopify’s recent “calendar purge.” What does an inclusive workplace look and feel like? https://t.co/zbnqHd8pLf

Please back this kickstarter! It’s so close. This community provides immense value and supports a diverse range of speakers! I can’t wait to read this book.

🚨~30 hrs and ~ $7K from goal! This book is a much-needed resource to help amplify the voices of folks we don't normally see in public speaking spaces! Present Yourself: A Public Speaking Book by Women Talk Design on @Kickstarter

In Austin! CFP closes mid-September.

I mentioned this in the Lex interview, but it is official now: Keen Technologies, my new AGI company, has raised a $20M round, led by @natfriedman and @danielgross, with @patrickc, @tobi, @sequoia, @CapitalFactory, and Jim Keller participating.

Part 2 went up the next day, and links to @Stampalofi, an artist reusing fax machines to make masters!

Austin Design Week (@atxdesignweek) is taking 2022 off:

Who wants to come hear me blabber about career, life choices, and stuff? ☺️

Print Gocco came up during my screen printing phase, but then @acc_UX_Molly and I bought and failed to repair a vintage Riso and I never went back to it. This is fascinating work on how the Gocco works, and might be a path to easier home printing masters!
