For an industrial designer: "What...like factories?"
We're mostly product designers. Our discipline's name dates back to the mid-1900s, when saying "we design things for industry" made sense. Nowadays, "I'm an industrial designer" needs to be followed by "here's what that means."

My worst headaches are usually sinus related. In addition to ibuprofen & caffeine, I use saline sinus spray. Keeping the humidity above 40% helps too.

Thanks for this suggestion. Thanking them for their commitment is appropriate in this moment, no matter what happens next. We can follow up with something more pointed if we need to.

The relevance thing is so frustrating.
Just realized it's also a great (and kinda petty) example of a digital tool trying to perform the important bits, in the name of efficiency.

For me it's either "buddy" or "goober". Buddies are welcome inside my personal space. Goobers are nice to talk to, but I'm happier if they're over there.
That bodega cat looks like a buddy. I'd totally stop & say hi. Maybe offer some scritches too.

I found a lot of great stuff about gaming and learning communities in "Women and Gaming: The Sims and 21st Century Learning" by James Gee & Elisabeth Hayes. Don't remember what else is in there, though. It's been a few years.

So much this. A team of good phlebotomists who take careful, clear records (so their colleagues can find those veins on the first try) are just the best too.

Should also mention that some of its themes—especially the corruption and institutional racism—feel very (maybe painfully) relevant right now. Haven't watched it in a few years. Wondering how watching it in 2025 is going to feel.

The trailer feels a little silly to me. Hits a few highlights, but also makes the movie feel a lot pulpier than it actually is. either way, it's one of my favorites.

As a design history teacher and goth(ish) high schooler from the late 80s, I have so many feelings about this.

Can't eat ice cream any more, due to health issues. So I'm counting on someone out there to eat a scoop of ice cream for me.

Thanks for saying this. Every semester I have conversations with my design students about creative work, survival, and finding some kind of sustainable joy or satisfaction in a deeply unfair industry. Goldman's suggestion, and discussions like this one, are great reference points.

I think of it mostly as a choir/theater-kid thing. A choir/theater-adult thing too, I guess.

As someone with similar eye issues (macular hole in one eye), I thought I had the same experience with baseball. Then I remembered that batting in cricket is much more like self-defense. So glad I never had to do that.
