My newest article Designing For The Last Earth is out.
How do we as designers transition into a profession capable of actually helping save the last earth (this planet)? Because if we are not willing to or simply can't, we are in for a very bumpy ride 🧵

Dreadful heatwave in South America. Chile 
recording some of its hottest days on record with ferocious wildfires.
The vast smoke plumes from the fires are visible from space.

And now I purchased The Dawn of Everything ( & David Graeber) as an audiobook and I also have it as a physical copy and I cannot wait to create an audio-visual(?) experience enriched with notes, and thoughts, and stickies

FYI the publication is independent, non-profit and we have built it painstakingly with personal effort and funds from our other community activities. Running communities is not easy 😅. And when I say we, I am and I.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi plot (series) is as weak as the stormtroopers' aim. So painful to watch

Many times I browse twitter and I see a lot of stupid startup founder advice like “always do what’s next” and then I realize I am in the “For You” tab and remind myself to switch to my following feed

Do y'all think there's enough philosophical theory of design (digital product design, service design, etc) as opposed to craft theory?

I appreciate Big Daddy Cane liking my tweet (it just contained the acronym En Ef Tee so it looks like it was an automated like). But still!
Before I got laid off from the previous startup I was working with, I gave a small presentation about the universal laws of stupidity.
Didn't help.

As these articles are written designers still look for the next NFT or how AI can create automated buttons because it's 2023 so we shouldn't do that. And we drift further into the dark ages of design.

How do you move from a morally bankrupt profession and an even more morally bankrupt institution? You don't. You move away from it. People like have put thoughts into that and tell a cautionary tale of how you are losing your best ones

The educational part of the profession did wonders too! Instead of teaching critical theory in UX, decolonizing methods, systems thinking.. Instead of establishing new designers as a force to be reckoned with, they came up with teaching... craft fundamentals & tools.

Instead of changing business (or the world LOL), we changed for business and we won a seat at the table. Until they started firing us in the thousands, and everyone was shocked!

So-called design leaders cried and screamed for designers to be more businessy for years! Then suddenly you get an assimilated profession running around like a headless chicken. At least we got many conferences to attend to, and medium articles to read.

I've been thinking about the commoditization of design since I wanted to join agencies some years now and realized all they care for is if I can spew out boxes fast enough... I nodded emphatically at this article by . And then there's more... 🧵

This podcast with exposed me to the ugly truth of exploited labor on “our favorite AI tools”. And perhaps I should have guessed that this would have happened but maybe I was willfully ignorant.
Is there a more wholesome record than this???

Design Twitter needs to hype more design jobs that are not "in tech" but instead leveraging technology to support other (more stable) industries.
Personally, I find that work way more interesting than consumer apps.

After the new twitter janitor change, I feel like I'm in a giant echo chamber whether I tweet or not.
