Wrote a little something that's been on my mind. As the field of UXR evolves, I've found the phrase "Insights Users" to be helpful in reframing how we approach & view stakeholder relationships to be more strategic and impactful. ✌️

Fun little story about the American healthcare system 🙃 I had an outpatient procedure at the hospital today and:
1) I received a hospital bill via email while in surgery
2) I'm unsure what the bill is even for b/c I prepaid $1000 for the surgery
3) I prepaid b/c the hospital gave a prepay discount

There were protests against deportations all across the nation yesterday. I saw it on TikTok but the big news networks did not report it.

so much feels out of my control right now, but I try to constantly remind myself that one area where I have complete autonomy is how I treat the people around me.

So 97% of @NYMagUnion members--including me!-- just signed a pledge to walk out of work if we don’t get a fair contract from @VoxMedia. If you love @NYMag, sign our solidarity pledge to support us in the event of a walkout:

Last yr, I only read 8 books total. It was one of the most high-velocity, high-growth yrs of my entire career. In comparison, I read ~30 books in 2023 (can't remember exact number cus I'd been using Goodreads then before shutting it down & moving to StoryGraph). This year, I'm aiming for 30 again 🙏

2nd 📚 of the year: Martyr! but Kaveh Akbar. Holy shit. I never feel more seen than when I read a book by a fellow Iranian with poetry pumping through their veins. This book was beautiful & heartbreaking. #currentlyreading

1st 📚 of the year: Men Have Called Her Crazy by Anna M. Tendler. Absolutely loved it - couldn't put it down & finished it in 2 days. As I continue writing my memoir (centered & circling around having cancer for 10 years), I want to read more #memoirs. Do you have any faves? #currentlyreading
