Soon you can read some words I wrote in a particular order that may or may-not be delightful... (hint hint) Writing on my work at Google and the danger of designing for delight and the inherent dark patterns that can evolve. Coming soon!

Any other designers confused/frustrated by @figma billing structure? I shared a design file with an agency this month to get some help. And now they're charging me an extra seat this month? Even tho the agency has their own membership? Does that mean Figma is double dipping?

Adobe is the worst. It's hard to afford if you're not a corporate designer. And sh*t like this drives me crazy. "We're charging you to cancel." * 😵💫 Makes me more nervous for the Figma purchase

Seventeen out of 11,000! OR .15% of those released Clearly, the prison system is a waste of taxpayer money, racist, and destroying families. -- "Of those 17 people, most new offenses were for possessing or selling drugs or other minor offenses."
During the Covid epidemic, 11,000 people were released early from federal prisons. How many of them committed crimes after being released? 17. https://t.co/UQdLlA5kDm
