If anyone wants to know why it took me so long or why my account is still in place on Twitter, it's because I don't feel comfy going into bubbles and not witnessing the shifts right now. I also don't want my name/account to get leveraged in my absence. These "news platforms" got us to this moment.

From where I'm sitting, it looks like Bluesky is exploding in adoption, and "X" is now the new Facebook, i.e. boring place where old people keep posting on because they don't bother learning new things.

“We’re told the future of tech is coming, and it is fixed. […] And if we don’t want to be erased by it, we in design systems must address ourselves now to building the mechanisms and rules of whatever automated systems will emerge for creating products. “

Design systems practitioners are being presented two choices for the future. One: design the mechanisms and rules for rising automated systems. The other: be erased by those systems.
Queer theory can help broaden our perspective and imagine alternative futures.

Queering design systems thinking by John Voss
Queerness challenges simple narratives and universal truths. What happens when you apply it to a discipline that seeks to build a clear, single source of truth?

I've been here two weeks and even some black users that were more engaged last week have dropped off in posting this week. Any space irl or online that is too white reveals itself to be hostile to POC. The bsky team needs to take this seriously
