My Photo Book

I’m shaking from laughing so much!

These photos are terrible.👇🏿

I think I’d like to publish an entire photo book on my mom-jeans style of photography?…

Working title: Blur Squint Thumbs

Him let brag? Not my photo obvs

Contracting. Classism. Question?

I have written all about the topic on my full-time tag.



“You’ve done a lot of contracting work, are you ready for full time?”

If you are a recruiter who has asked me — or anyone, especially from a marginalized group — this question, I encourage you all to please take the time to consider why this query is one to remove from the recruiting repertoire altogether.


Let’s please work to retire this line of questioning.





[PRODUCT] LinkedIn, Squarespace, and Pinterest


LinkedIn

Updates I’d implement if I were their PM::

  • The “turtleneck" UI issue when adding # or @

  • Edit: add photos (after publishing)

  • Ability to paste photo into a post

  • Share: Add photo to a post you’re RT’ing (?)


It took me 5 separate attempts to post text w/ a photo bc they don’t allow copy/paste or indirect upload from the iOS options overlay

Photo walkthrough below…

👆No @ mention ability for companies. when share it a post TO LinkedIn from another app via iOS native share options.

Squarespace

You too, Squarespace. I see you trying. Choochoo!🚂

Tags freeze upon adding; new tag text mixes with default in-line text.

Also because I don’t have the sanity to scroll allllllll the way to the bottom ‘n’ fetch it, please, kindly insert newly added page elements — such as text boxes — into the user’s page positioning at the exact spot the user is positioned while editing.

I’m sure it’s tricky but totally possible. Anchor it!

Lastly, a big fat ol’ delicious publish button for readied drafts? Here or there?

The galleries leave a good deal to be desired?•There’s no navigation overlay on the bottom to indicate scrolling left or right, one kind of just guesses?  •The images are also cropped when selected meaning the thumbnail has more detail.  •There’s currently no way to bridge the size / detailed view gap

Pinny, Pinterest, baby, no forgot password link?

They’ve since fixed it! Squeaky wheel over here…

New problem: _space_ after email address breaks search

Do I wish to download the app from within the app?

Password change/security best practices dictates that two separate entries that must match reduce the likelihood of human error — I’ll assume this push change is in the pipeline?

The other options here are typically I do not wish to answer or just a lumpy Other option. Per ZDLR film, White might just need some discussion and restructuring.

I’m still being asked If I am “ready for full time” ???¿!!!??¿ so yeah I imagine we can improve things yet?

Blossoming Streets. Pirate Hideouts. + An Bandoned Baby Depot ☁️

I took a walk down an okay looking alley near the ballpark. Offices had once occupied it and older places were under construction.

Seeing that the office buildings now sat empty I cupped my hands around my face and peered in through the window. Awards covered in dust in a cleared out and totally abandoned former office space. There was a skylight that let in sun light that illuminated the office furniture to remind window gawkers like myself that the space had been abandoned not trashed. A minded emptied warehouse. What was left were swivel chairs, those chalky white plaster filler wall panels that every office seems to be made out of, and abandoned awards fashioned from glass and metal. Very prestigious awards? The business was in a baby daycare depot. Totally serious.

I don’t know what awards are given to baby depot SMB’s promising to not accidentally harm your kid but whichever awards such an industry hands out, buddy this place had ‘em. They were supposed to look like flames 🔥 made of glass, or silly-billy contraptions comprised of metal springs adorned with bobbles that look like the planet Saturn. And it’s like…the nicest thing about the place was the skylight?

you see it too 🐲

But I’m glad some people get trophies, they can bust them down for pieces of raw ingredients to be released like herbs into a hearty stew, like nutmeg. 🌰


Social Friday


When you think it’ll be interesting to post from a phone holder’s POV — and you’re right because you have the impeccable taste of a French cinematographer crossed with the magic of a child.

Hi Chill

I’m someone who keeps a high chill during panic. Normally. Whenever I encounter a class or period of time of human interaction which prizes conflict and punishment — more so than usual — namely in response to things unknown, it greatly concerns me.

I had elaborated previously but this really speaks volumes as is.

Let’s not punish curiosity?
To do so is a bullet train to Stupidsville. 🧡

It's autumn in the East Bay in a way one can smell.

Tiny denizen...

I watched a frown form on the face of a crestfallen elementary school child; the free ice cream cone they'd been handed wasn't the flavor they'd personally requested.

What if someone had handed this unfortunate charity case an iPad that played videos of Syrian refugee children? Videos where fathers cradled the ashen lifeless bodies of their little ones, sobbing repeatedly for them to "Say goodbye!”?

Child, oh child...

Who will share their perspective and grant you the greater context of this careless, chilly place?

Take the free organic ice cream cone, sweet hooman. Say 'thank you' and then smash the cone with your fist to protest it not being vegan.🇺🇸🕊
