Chaya Raichik, a/k/a Libs of TikTok, has set up on Threads — as if I needed one more reason to avoid the site. Since she’s on Facebook & Instagram, this isn’t surprising. But it still shows what kind of hateful & dangerous speech will be tolerated — and shown in people's algorithmic timelines. (She wouldn’t be allowed on my Mastodon instance.)

(If you don’t know about Libs of TikTok, please just do some searches; don’t ask me about her.)

I've been collecting screenshots from around the internets of bad UX/UI or just downright scammy design. Thinking that I'll compile them into a what-not-to-do list. It's my own contribution to making the web a better place by calling out bad actors when I see it.

This one for instance. It comes up under a search for focus assistant or ADHD alternatives. It says Buy Now but doesn't tell you the price until you use the buy now button.

And for right now I will set aside how predatory this all is considering the very real shortages of Rx ADHD drugs.

Punch up, not down:

Ironic, the lawsuit combatting legacy admissions at Harvard will help more Asian students get into Harvard, than the anti-Black, anti-affirmative lawsuit that the supreme court just heard.🙂🙃

And if you look at the group that's filing the anti-legacy lawsuit, you'll see that it's headed by some of the leading Black, Asian, white, latinx, Muslim, and Jewish, lawyers in the nation. Yes, including Harvard grads. Yes, including Harvard legacies.♥️👍🏿
