We can take comfort in the fact that despite everything, biology still works as expected and intended on my balcony

Even in Berlin, it's rare to see a human and their dog in perfectly matching outfits, but yesterday I was gifted with this fashion moment. juliarodraws.com/2025/01/27/1...

Sewing nights are great. My skills are not, but I'm getting better with the help of @itsmollyclare.bsky.social !

Diary comics, 1 panel. Title on top: Sewing night. Before and after pictures of Julia wearing a long shirt and jeans before sewing, then wearing a cute short jacket after sewing. There are some stars as decoration around the after picture.

Self-portrait of the artist trying to out-navigate fascism, pen drawing on cheap paper, January 2025. juliarodraws.com/2025/01/22/1...
Delicate line drawing of a woman rushing, her scarf is blowing in the wing. She's staring at her phone. There's a huge wave of water forming behind and above her.

Who's my favorite neighbor? This hyped up fluffball! Same image, 6 months apart. juliarodraws.com/2025/01/19/w...
Diary comics, or rather a sketch. Julia's hands reach to a tiny jumping dog who's on a leash held by a man standing behind the dog. Diary comics, or rather a sketch. Julia, a woman wearing a long coat, bends down to pet a tiny jumping dog who's on a leash held by a man standing on the side.

A recent sartorial choice made me quite popular among children.

I'm doing daily diary comics for 30 days or until I lose patience, then post them on www.instagram.com/juliarodraws/
Pen drawing. A woman is walking down the street with a red scarf and hat that is decorated like a strawberry. Another woman and a little girl is walking towards her, and the little girl yells out: Erdbeer! (strawberry in German)

Today is my birthday, and I found this at St George's bookstore, which was funny.

To celebrate, I'd be happy to see your pet photos.

Quietly dancing (it's after 22h) because @lindaliukas.bsky.social quoted and linked my newsletter!
The beyond tellerrand talk in Berlin, A Playground Worth a Thousand Programmes, is now online! It’s a 40-minute distillation of everything I’ve learned while designing a playground for computing—a project equal parts tangible and conceptual, as much about slides and swings as about algorithms and questions. Julia’s remarkable live-drawn notes are here. "I sometimes wonder how much burnout we could avoid if we could also work with our whole body and not just a few fingers, our eyes fixed on a laptop." And the truth is... I suspect a lot.

If you see this, post your orange art 🖌️

This is a recent color experiment I did for my pigeon #comics at a #fridaynightcomics workshop by SAW
A 6-panel comic page about 2 pigeons. One of them falls asleep, and has a dream about chasing away a crow.

I was ridiculously happy when I found these at Saint George's bookstore. Time to order some frames.
Photo of 6 The New Yorker covers. One shows Christoph Niemann's 4-panel comic on AI, one shows a skier on black background. There's a colorful one with tiny details from Steed, and 3 ones from Roz Chast: one for ice-creams with different nonsense flavors, a supermarket of dreads, and one of a happy bathing bird

This week is #btconf Berlin - are you coming? Please say hi!
I printed some fresh cards. Kind of irrelevant in 2024, but it feels nice to have them.

tired: posting cute snow pictures during the winter
wired: forgot to empty rainwater from the pot, it froze and cracked, and it's also stuck to the balcony

Hi! I’m a Berlin-based senior product designer, speaker, design coach, etc. and I got laid off. I just wanna work with kind people on meaningful problems. You know what to do, right? Portfolio: juliaracsko.com, and you can DM me on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/juliaro-d...
An illustration of a woman sitting at a computer in front of a bookshelf with a plant looking for a remote senior product design job. There are text bubbles, she says: 'I'm excited to learn more about this opportunity!', she thinks 'Please be a "move with intent and fix things" kind of team...'. There's also a link: juliaracsko.com.

Did Mastodon really do this to (not) hire a product designer? Apparently, yes, they asked 100 people for an unpaid design challenge. 🫠
