A nice surprise, my book the @RoutledgeSust Handbook of Sustainable Design is available in a (much cheaper) paperback. Can’t think of a better time to encourage students to read about systems, behaviors and structural change. (1/2)

Can’t decide if this is a design fail or critical commentary @nytimes - literally selling “cold beer beautiful girls” next to spending one’s life fighting for the right to her body in pursuit of a career. Protect Roe. Empower Women.
Excited to hear @chica_rosadita talk about the importance of #intersectionality in the #ClimateCrisis and the #DigitalDivide @SDGActionZone #sdgactionzone2021

Finally had some time to take a breath and untangle some thoughts from my head. Maybe you too are interested in being part of something bigger than yourself and bigger than where you are? Either way, enjoy this little video.

Some thoughts on remote/pandemic/crisis teaching, and what I'll keep doing in #HigherEd.
The three most important words of the semester: How are you? link.medium.com/blaqw6wXxhb
Super proud of my @usfca Design Grads for completing their senior year entirely over Zoom. Here's their exhibition, cleverly named "you/rl" - 30 thesis projects taking on real world issues in many forms.

The emotional toll of the pandemic has left many with a sense of stagnation and emptiness.
That feeling of muddling through your days, lacking motivation and struggling to focus has a name, writes the organizational psychologist Adam Grant: languishing.

Happy to host @chronictanvi from @BipocDesign as a guest speaker in my class today. Students were inspired to hear real, honest stories of making connections from someone just a few years a head of them. (And also love supporting a fellow @mica alum.)
Honored to be on the @caavisual podcast with Peter Dean from RISD discussing teaching sustainable design beyond the stuff.

Never been more excited to go to the @OaklandAs coliseum than I was today! Fascinating to experience this thinking of #ServiceDesign & #SystemsThinking. Thank you @fema @CAL_FIRE + everyone else who made this impressively designed system! #OaklandProud.
Getting ready for more Zoom Conferences at #CAA2021; on Thursday I'm talking about #SustainableDesign & #SystemsThinking; then on Friday its #CrisisTeaching... (but still really missing the travel, friends & drinks)

Next week I'll be talking about #SystemsThinking, #Intersectionality & #Sustainability at @CHIFOO Computer Human Interaction Forum of Oregon. As everything else... you can join the Zoom.

Looking forward to spending my Friday night here!
Today! Hour long lecture followed by Q&A with @Jasonforrestftw & @siborg81.
This one was a beast to edit.
So, is the @Transition46 Design Team for @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris currently redesigning everything to #47 incase we (hopefully) have a different #46 for the next 2 weeks? @robynkanner @BidenInaugural
While I agree yesterdays mob was white privlage, let's also remember that we got here because of white silence. If you chose to be silent on the racist, sexist, fascist events of the last 4 years - you were complacent in what happened yesterday.
Trying to do less this year, but so far for January I've signed up to read 'Black Futures' with @rgay book club, @allwecansave with the @WENBayArea book club, and take #BIOPIC #DesignHistory with @PolymodeStudio.
