Who Uses Our Research? Insights Users, Of Course — sahar chung Let’s get into it When talking to my UX research team recently, I used the term "Insights Users" to talk about Research Team Stakeholders and I mean..... I kinda love it. 😍 Since then, I’ve start...

Wrote a little something that's been on my mind. As the field of UXR evolves, I've found the phrase "Insights Users" to be helpful in reframing how we approach & view stakeholder relationships to be more strategic and impactful. ✌️

Also extricating from all things Amazon but the search bar for groceries on the Amazon app doesn't work properly. You type in one letter and then suddenly you aren't in the search box anymore so you keep having to press back into it to type 🙄

RIGHT! Also starting to extricate myself from all things Meta but Instagram on Android has this very annoying bug where you can't search emojis when using the keyboard to write in Stories. It's been over a year 🙄

Fun little story about the American healthcare system 🙃 I had an outpatient procedure at the hospital today and:
1) I received a hospital bill via email while in surgery
2) I'm unsure what the bill is even for b/c I prepaid $1000 for the surgery
3) I prepaid b/c the hospital gave a prepay discount

Has anyone else noticed how much more unusable and buggy so many apps and products have become in the past 2.5 years of tech layoffs? I struggled with at least 3 today alone

Together, Trump and Musk are trying to rewrite the rules of the American system. They are trying to instantiate an anti-constitutional theory of executive power that would make the president supreme over all other branches of government. They are doing so in service of a plutocratic agenda of austerity and the upward redistribution of wealth. And the longer Congress stands by, the more this is fixed in place.

Again, if Musk had been elected to some office, this would still be one of the worst abuses of executive power in American history. No one in the executive branch has the legal authority to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations. No one has the legal authority to turn the Treasury payments system into a means of political retribution. No one has the authority to summarily dismiss civil servants without cause. No one has the authority to take down and scrub government websites of public data, itself paid for by American taxpayers. And no private citizen has the authority to access the sensitive data of American citizens for either information gathering or their own, unknown purposes. The thing, of course, is that Musk isn't elected. He is a private citizen. He was neither confirmed for a cabinet job nor formally appointed to a high-level position within the administration. He does not even have a presidential commission; he has been designated a "special government employee." Musk says that he is acting on the authority of the president of the United States. Even still, it is not as if the president nftha lInitad Ctatachne the authoritietn

There were protests against deportations all across the nation yesterday. I saw it on TikTok but the big news networks did not report it.

Omg my fave 🤤

so much feels out of my control right now, but I try to constantly remind myself that one area where I have complete autonomy is how I treat the people around me.

New York Mag Union

So 97% of @NYMagUnion members--including me!-- just signed a pledge to walk out of work if we don’t get a fair contract from @VoxMedia. If you love @NYMag, sign our solidarity pledge to support us in the event of a walkout:

Last yr, I only read 8 books total. It was one of the most high-velocity, high-growth yrs of my entire career. In comparison, I read ~30 books in 2023 (can't remember exact number cus I'd been using Goodreads then before shutting it down & moving to StoryGraph). This year, I'm aiming for 30 again 🙏

WE TRULY LOVE TO SEE IT

Btw another amazing & devastatingly heartbreaking 📚 by an Iranian author is The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree by Shokoofeh Azar. I need + want every1 to read it. I felt all of it deep in my bones. It's actually so painful that I don't think I'll ever be able to read it again. #currentlyreading

2nd 📚 of the year: Martyr! but Kaveh Akbar. Holy shit. I never feel more seen than when I read a book by a fellow Iranian with poetry pumping through their veins. This book was beautiful & heartbreaking. #currentlyreading

1st 📚 of the year: Men Have Called Her Crazy by Anna M. Tendler. Absolutely loved it - couldn't put it down & finished it in 2 days. As I continue writing my memoir (centered & circling around having cancer for 10 years), I want to read more #memoirs. Do you have any faves? #currentlyreading
