Apple Music says you follow up Remain In Light with Magnificent Seven. Ring, ring, it's seven AM! I can't disagree.

I gave a talk at a #UXWriting conference yesterday. Is there anyone here who’s like to hear more about it? I focused on moving from taking string requests to proactively planning #ContentDesign work.

"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."

--Stephen Jay Gould

Today's society is especially hostile toward the neurodivergent, and the disabled. I have no doubt that were they born this century, Einstein, Hawking, and basically all of the great thinkers and innovators of the past centuries whom we know for their outstanding contributions to society, would have lived and died in poverty, denied any opportunity to realize their potential.

This is one of the greatest tragedies of our time.

Who is still employed as a UX writer at Twitter? I know the amazing Lisa Jennings Young has left. She was such a great leader and Twitter copy will never be the same. Who is left there to design content like this?

Dear every text editor everywhere: When I cut the last item in a list and paste it to earlier spot in the list, please move the “and,” commas, and spaces to the new right place.

It would be useful,frequent, delightful, and .

Here's the trick to avoiding being forced to act on this Twitter modal. Select "Change my number" and then just click outside the prompts and you won't have to do anything that you don't want to do.

When your product manager says “let’s just solve this design problem with copy.”

Content and product designers. Your assignment, should you decide to accept it, is to redesign this garish information page in the @united app.
Good luck.

None of your business, LinkedIn! (no option to skip or close; defaults to yes, shoddy design!).

I always find the microcopy on the Overcast app absolutely delightful. It’s one of the few apps that’s cheeky and clever in just the right doses. Hats off to @marcoarment ! (Oh, and it’s a lot better than that other podcast app.)

Settings page with the words “Sgow the number of unfinished episodes on Overcast to add stress to your life.”Settings page in the Overcast app with a section titled “Nitpicky Details.”

@resing Tried to edit it both to fix my typo and add alt text but couldn’t. Weird. It’s Allstate insurance.

And this, my friends, is why we avoid “Are you sure?” wording on modals.
