Clarity is my favorite conference every year. While I am unable to attend this year, I highly recommend going if you can! @jina does an amazing job with it every year!

Clarity

A design systems conference

Morning ☀️

I’m taking April off full-time client work, but have capacity for small amount of freelance or consultancy work (#ContentDesign, design systems docs, strategy or coaching).

Also @heydon and I are still looking for a client from May, and are specifically looking for folks who want to give their #DesignSystem documentation some love.

We’re meeting with prospective clients throughout the next month - give us a shout if you’d like to chat.

Boosts appreciated 😊

Yeah, the video for "Scaling accessibility through design systems ", the panel where Lauren Beatty, Geri Reid and Aprile Elcich and I talk about #a11y and #DesignSystems is available, in case you missed the live (or want to rewatch):

Another thing that irritates me about articles talking about how layoffs mark “the end of good working conditions in tech” is that they completely ignore the working conditions of any marginalized people working in tech.

They ignore the many existing issues in this field.

Starting 2023 with a bang. And by bang I mean walking smack into a tree and cracking my head. Happy new year!

I’m finding my feed skews very white and male despite the fact that I followed a lot of my Twitter friends over here.

I also find a lot of folks on here very “old guard”, in the sense that they have been here a long time and want you to know it, and that your opinion doesn’t count if you’re new. Some people have been quite rude.

Idk. I’m still not convinced.

the last Design Systems email newsletter of 2022 should be dropping in your inboxes.

Missed it? You can catch up on this weeks and the last 147 issues, and subscribe so you don't miss an issue again:

Design Systems News

A publication full of interesting, relevant, and curated links.

The reason people who hate CSS simultaneously don't think it is a programming language is because they never moved past the piecemeal "add color to thing, add height to other thing" approach. When you start dealing in rules/constraints, forging *algorithms* that respond to contexts... then you are really writing CSS. And really programming.
The pre-Thanksgiving drive down the northeast coast of the US never fails to provide a trip 1.5-2x as long as normal. But we made it. Phew.

Going to try a thing: white guys, please boost!!

Comment here if you're: queer and/or BIPOC and you are interested in talking about #TTRPGs #GameDesign #LARP or #games #art so we can create some discoverability for marginalized folks trying to find community with each other

I'll start! I'm a queer trans nb person who designs and publishes tabletop games and LARPs about gender and queerness. My jam lately has been happy games about queer people finding love and community
