It’s time to lean into resilience—not just for ourselves but our creative communities. Here’s how to show up each week:

🎨 Share a fellow artist’s work
🛍️ Shop your favorite artist’s prints/merch
💻 Mentor a budding creative via a local org
💌 Drop an encouraging DM to a design peer
📚 Donate old design books to a community library
☕ Grab your next coffee from a women-owned café

When we support our community, we help build vital resources, policies, and a more equitable world. 💪✨

@Kugo That effect is real and, as you point out, well-researched.

The key, though, is that aesthetics support a solid interaction design, but they cannot compensate for crap #UX. These days, way too many designers focus on aesthetics first, and the moment you actually start using the product, you will instantly realize that they have no clue how to make that product actually usable and useful.

"Below are five things gaslighters do...

1. Lie about things you know to be true.
2. Accuse you of doing the things they are doing.
3. Call you crazy, emotionally unbalanced, or too sensitive.
4. Undermine you in subtle ways.
5. Deflect and distract.

Below are some coping strategies that can help."

Why You Should Try the Mind-Wandering Route to Happiness

The idea that you need to stay focused on the present moment to be happy is widespread. New research on the benefits of letting your mind wander comes to a different conclusion.

Last week, we had a story about scientists who put bats on a treadmill. This week, a neuroscientist teaches rats to drive. And they love it!

From @ConversationUS: "We crafted our first rodent car from a plastic cereal container. After trial and error, my colleagues and I found that rats could learn to drive forward by grasping a small wire that acted like a gas pedal."
