Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does.

Remind me when TDUMP served the 🇺🇸 by being in the military or any of his sons? Oh that’s right. Never. But Biden’s son did. Hmmmm

The President spent months railing against vote-by-mail and trying to sabotage the USPS in conjunction with DeJoy, and now you can see why

I think we have tried our best to explain to hopeful “Magas” nothing is changing and trump just needs their money. They hate logic, facts and truth. Can we please stop wasting our energy. 😅

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
