Stop telling women who fight back against harassment that they’re wrong. Stop telling them that their attempts are fruitless. You’re running interference. YOU are making that true. This is not complex. It’s the misogyny that is wrong. Make the misogyny fruitless.

Never in our history has a former president been searched, they complain. And never has one taken the Fifth. That’s what you get when you elect criminals.

I’ve witnessed incredible sacrifices over my lifetime by Americans seeking to protect each other, and our country's freedom. You know what isn't much of a sacrifice? Wearing a darn mask. I just don't get it. I really don't. And I never will.

EVERYONE, please Google/head over to New York Times Op-Docs to watch for FREE new documentary film TAKEOVER. It is about Latinx group The Young Lords and fight for healthcare justice. Produced by my friend Tony Gerber and his wife Lynn Nottage, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright.

It’s the team *as a whole* that has enough knowledge to solve the problems they’re presented with. This isn’t to downplay Designers at all, but it’s just not possible to know enough about the technological capabilities/potential to know what the best solution is.

The idea that you can “do UX” ahead of working on a story, without involving engineering (and others) is fundamentally flawed. Unless you’re working on something totally trivial, you cannot design a solution anywhere close to “the best possible” without wider involvement.

Schools “can’t enforce masks” but sure did enforce not letting us wear shorts or spaghetti straps.

Replying to @libbyemmons
Vaccination was required for me to attend primary school, secondary school, and university. It was also required for trips to several countries. Requiring vaccination/inoculation for societal participation is at minimum centuries old - including amongst George Washington’s troops
