It's Trans Awareness Week!
Here are some ways you can be a good ally:
✔️ Learn and help your local trans community.
✔️ Read work by trans folks.
✔️ Find ways to help.
✔️ Educate yourself (❌ don't put the burden on trans people to teach you).

Good morning, happy Wednesday!
This is going to be a politically charged day; take care to unplug if you need to preserve your sanity.
Look out for your fellows who might be dealing with difficult emotions. Be with them, hold their anger, fear and pain with them. Be kind.

@jakebe@twitter.com Experience CAN grant wisdom and perspective but it doesn't necessarily.
It seems like people start a trajectory over their lives of growing more open and wise, or becoming ever smaller and more narrow.
The ubiquity of the latter should not blind us to the gifts of the former.

“You have a right to your story.” That includes the difficult feelings your story conjures within you, and the ability to change your story based on new experiences and understanding.
TFW you wish people would offer more respect to the older and wiser people among us but you realize most of them voted for Agent Orange and don’t give two shits about climate change
My Lyft driver today was a delightfully effusive Ethiopian who extolled the virtues of doing 30 pushups every morning as soon as you get up. He was better than a cup of coffee. :)

This year, a number of #NaNoWriMo2019 folks are trying out the "Comic Sans" trick. There's something magical about Comic Sans makes it easier to write with.
As a UI/UX designer, not only can I tell you *why* it works, I can tell you how to get the effect from any font. A thread.
