In the years since the alleged death of beloved accessibility advocate Susan Banks, mounting evidence and accounts from those close to her work suggest that she was not the person she claimed to be. In fact, some are convinced that Banks may never have existed at all.

I saw this pop up on Reddit so this is your regular reminder that sharing a Figma prototype means inadvertently sharing the Figma file as well

Design critique but everyone reacts like they're in the audience for the finale of The Bachelorette

Going back to my previous rant(s) re: "the interview definition of the design process is nothing like an IRL design process", employers should really be put to task on how they realistically incorporate design.. ofc this is hard when you're lucky to ask 3 questions lol

Curious to hear what Posts people think of this.. I toggle my Netflix subscription on and off but will be looking out for this now once I re-sub to watch my trash shows

Going to ask an actual design question for once: does anyone have any advice for concept testing (as opposed to usability testing)?

Petition for Linkedin to add a feature where anytime someone from a company that laid you off looks at your profile, they have to pay a fee

Feeling dumb because I don't understand how the remix colors in Figma slides works.. I have a bunch of "template colors" but it still says "options exhausted" 

I was able to accidentally make it work once but even that file won't do it anymore lol

Maybe the reason Figma hasn't added tags yet is it gets into a messy q of "who" can add tags in a team setting.. Maybe that would be an admin-only function with the ability for anyone to search/filter 🤔

At this point I don't really have a dream company but I wouldn't mind someone offering me a giant bag with a dollar sign on it like in the cartoons

That jumpscare when the Glassdoor rating is lower than you thought it would be

When you see someone advertise a job with a company that recently did a massive public layoff

It took a billion years but Figma finally updated export settings 🎉

Public notification that LinkedIn apparently opted everyone into AI data mining. Go to disable the setting by navigating to Settings > Data Privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement.

I hope Posts never flips a switch like that without letting us opt-out first.

The myEquifax website having a lot of broken images does not fill me with confidence

I think something I'll ask in future interviews to hiring managers is: What are the top 5 things you hope to see in the portfolio review?

I tried asking this more generally in the past and half the time people were stumped, which.. is a red flag

This little free web book came out today (could not have arrived at a better time), and it looks amazing.

Build that website you’ve been thinking about.

Figma changing UI3 panels to not be floating seems like a good decision based on the beta feedback aka everyone hating on it

Another day, another recruiter with a job asking for the work of three people for the price of not even one

Realizing that "exploring" is the Linkedin friendly way of saying "I'm unemployed"

I feel a couple future Linkedin posts bubbling and 1 is actually about design practices, for once lol 

The other one will probably wait for when my contract is over because it's more of an actual hot take 👀

Fighting the troll urge to make my Linkedin header artwork by William Schimmel aka the artist whose art was on my folders in middle school

Elon Musk really just wants to force everyone to see his dumbass posts, huh

When you find an AI company with a mission to solve the issue of "people wasting time at work" and seeing they require hybrid employment with 3 days in office 💀

People will literally fabricate the existence of someone rather than hire actual accessibility advocates looking for work.. But for real, this is crazy

The world if people didn't blame those who suffer due to toxic work environments for not fixing them all by themselves

Feeling a little more like a design monkey than a designer lately.. Like a grinder monkey, but with more unsolicited opinions

Other music came out this year but that doesn't stop me from just alternating between Charli XCX and MGMT on repeat

Filing this in the category of "this is why people hate tech people"

New work milestone: Having to remind someone not to squat in my Figma file

Still only seeing the "old" Figma UI.. Maybe this is because I primarily submit feedback in the form of complaining about the lack of project tags. Anything to not hear that again lol

This Summer we invited @seungmee_lee to collaborate with us on a template for our new sites product.

Lucky for us she said yes, and today we’re excited to share her template, Booklet! It’s a delightful portfolio template that feels like flipping through colored craft paper.

Stories like this depress me because you know it's the people *literally* shouting in order to be heard who were punished in the form of being laid-off.. Meanwhile the person making the bad decision gets more money, somehow

I switched from iPhone to Pixel to Samsung so I mostly wonder if Pokémon Go is enough to kill an iPhone battery these days tbh

If I ever see someone here think about leaving a perfectly fine drama-free job that pays well and has nice people, I will turn into Adam Sandler in this video

Working Not Working put together a happiness report for creative folks.. Haven't read the whole thing but the tldr; is: people be sad

Ok Posts people, it's Linkedin official - I started a contract PD role at Mozilla today 🎉

I'm relieved to actually be working after being unemployed for more than 1.5 years now.. I know eventually I may be applying again but for now, I just want to focus on good design work 😎

Thinking about my experiences as a designer it seems like it's esp difficult to have both of these at the same time:

- A supportive/good manager 
- Effective XFN collaboration with prod/eng 

And it's not like I get to choose which one I get to have lol

A tiny new feature on our job board — you can now turn on instant email notifications when new jobs get posted.

Recruiters who send add requests on Linkedin without saying anything don't inspire much confidence, especially if they're third-party.. Maybe show a little effort if you want to represent someone lol

You aren't officially working at a new job until you've put your first Spongebob meme into a presentation

Apparently Jira has taken over the MBTA.. my actual nightmare come to life

If nothing else, maybe it's the Olympics that will convince the necessary people that we need to make changes re: climate change.. Which is kinda sad but hey, whatever it takes

Got the sense that a company that ghosted me back when I first was laid-off only reached out to me now because I'm ~off the market~ 

If that's the case that's.. fucking stupid

Personal website marijanapav.com I made with @rpavlini has lots of cool interactions
