Y’all. I did it. I just published my very first macOS app. 🎉
It’s a color contrast checker for accessibility compliance. I designed and built it for myself, but I’m also gifting it to the world.
It’s not in the App Store, but it is signed for safety. And it will let you know when there’s an update.
I’m a little giddy about it. 😊
UPDATE: new versioning system. v1.2 is available now.

MamaMuse is a group committed to “reverse-engineering sexism.” They’re building a library of voices, which is resources on the topic of equity.
They just featured one of my talks in their library. I’m so honored. 😊

图书馆借到一本书，Logotype，结合了平面设计里最喜欢的两个题目，曾几何时我也喜欢自己捣鼓一下 logo，譬如下面这个给回国开木工坊的朋友搞的标志。设计的方向是用他姓的首字母加他常用的蝴蝶榫，第三张是他把这个标志运用到宣传片中的截图，而最后一张是他做的椅子。

The internet has decided — again — that Chris Pratt is the worst Chris, after reports that he and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, demolished a 74-year-old house by modernist architect Craig Ellwood in order to build a 15,000-square-foot residence. "They also tore up all of modernist legend Garrett Eckbo's original landscaping, effectively turning the nearly one-acre lot into one flat slab," reports Dwell. Here's the full story, including images of the house. To sprinkle some positivity on your day, we want to know, who is Hollywood's best Chris? Tell us in the comments if you're rejecting these options in favor of Rock, Guest, Walken, or some other Chris.

If you design a system such that you cannot differentiate people from corporations and bots and that’s your defense for calling all of them “users”, you’ve designed a system that conflates people – who are mortal, have feelings, can feel pain and be hurt and who have human rights that must be protected – with the very entities that oftentimes exist to exploit them.
Design for people. Call them people. All else is secondary.

Los Angeles Lakers player and executive Jerry West died today at age 86. He was an Olympic gold winner and became a key figure in the NBA in many ways, not least as the inspiration for its logo. Designer Alan Siegel said he based the logo on a photo of West's perfect dribbling form. "It's the easiest job I ever had," Siegel told CNN Sports, which has the full story plus a tribute to West.

A friend worked in printer/plotter service for a long time. He picked up 3D printing, 3D design, and Photoshop stuff as a hobby. He made the designs for these lightsabers for himself, printed them, painted them - There's no metal in this picture.
He's at loose ends, mid-life, and wants to change careers. Big Time movie buff. I would love to get him in touch with some people in special effects/film and make magic happen. #movies #film #design #GetFediHired

I do like how the missing alt text icon is now more prominent, but I do wonder if this is enough to get people to add descriptions to their images.
I actually opened an issue addressing this last year.

127 pages of very short 'sketch' scenario narratives that I use to help create the Sub Orbital Machine universe; almost like adventure starters! You might like it. You might think it sucks. You might get confused. Regardless, I am putting it out there for all to download for the tiny cost of a subbing to my newsletter (which you might find interesting!)

发现 Woodworker’s Journal 洗稿，时隔 13 年，新的一期是 2021 年出的，看着实在眼熟，在我旧刊收藏里扒拉一阵，找到了 2008 年的这一期，用的照片完全一样，虽然文字重新编辑了。但这都不重要，重要的是右上角这个 Arts and Crafts 风的书架设计，谁再跟我说松木做的家具登不上大雅之堂我就跟谁急，我喜欢，我要做一个！

I’m Lauren, a creative professional and writer in Cape Town.
I love all things #reading #writing & #design - I have a #communications and #GraphicDesign business & many #creative interests
I’m #SelfPublishing soon!
After connecting with the #IndieAuthor community I made a series of #canva #tutorials to help them design and market their #books
My flagrant use of tags here is a good representation of my approach - full enthusiasm at max speed 😂
I look forward to connecting!

Been fiddling with this (mock) for a while. Would this be easier to understand and make sense?
Context: this is for publishing posts.
Hey, so, Christmas is coming, and I have a little Redbubble store: https://www.redbubble.com/people/Rhube/shop?asc=u
Maybe there's something in there you'd like to buy for someone? Some of it is Pride themed, and you'd be supporting a non-binary, disabled artist.

Although the Nonprofit Industrial Complex has some sophisticated gatekeepers barring access, I've renewed my efforts to find San Francisco Bay Area cooperators interested in my proposed nonprofit for unique S.T.E.A.M.-focused ArtScience demonstration projects that serve the common good.
While general participants are welcome, I need the commitment of board-level founders.

Hello #portfolioday I'm Lydia. I make film noir inspired fantasy illustrations for a series I am writing (occasionally nfsw when I feel brave enough), doodle organic things, and design notebooks/ grimoires.
I don't do commissions any more, but you can buy some prints and grimoires via my website. Or just follow me here.
Hello! We never did a proper #introduction.
We're an #OpenSource and #NonProfit #research, #design and #development organisation, based in #Cornwall in the UK. We actually care about stuff, and mostly work on #environment, #climate and #social projects.
We're all a bit #generalist, and many of our projects are rooted in rural issues, rather than being city-centric. Always open to collabs.
Most of us are on here: @nebogeo @amberfirefly @yaxu @cassandreces and @kanderson_rs
