The guidelines for bias-free language contain both general guidelines for writing about people without bias across a range of topics and specific guidelines that address the individual characteristics of age, disability, gender, participation in research, racial and ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality.

#DesignSystem folks:
How many of you have dedicated writers on the team?
How many need one?
Asking for a friend. ✍️

"Be careful, if you unsubscribe from the newsletter you will no longer get our newsletter".
Yes honey that's the point. I wonder what happened here to end up with this copy in the interface.
This week's Voice Mail gets into what I think this whole "voice" thing is really about.
(It ain't words.)
Also: The history book has me enthralled (and laughing out loud) right now, the thing about values (and honor, and other funny old words), and your weekly personal one-song dance party. Bring a friend.

The words you choose within your app are an essential part of its user experience.

@marcoarment @stern As an older version of these guidelines once said:
> “In the same way that it’s best to work with a professional graphical designer on the icons and images in your app, it’s best to work with a professional writer on your app’s user-visible text.”
So good to see #UXWriting and #ContentDesign getting more attention lately.
#Introduction 👋 Hi there, I’m Roger.
You look familiar. Nice to see you here.
✍️ I fix words in apps and I’m available for hire.
Ping me if you need help with UI copy, #UXWriting, or #ContentDesign processes — or boost this if you know someone who does.

Question for the #ContentDesign and #UXContent #UXWriting folks—
When working with #microcopy for an interface or website, how do you collaborate with developers or designers? Where do you keep the strings of text so that it’s clear what each one is for without bogging it down?
Longer content is a bit easier in some ways, but how do you manage microcopy?

Non ho nessun dubbio che lo #UXWriting sia una skill decisiva per unə buonə designer. Ho molti dubbi che possa essere una professione a sé stante. #UX #bellepersonas

Visto che me l'hanno chiesto proprio oggi, ne approfitto per diffondere un buon toolkit curato da Tangity per impostare un progetto di #UXwriting: https://medium.com/tangity/product-voice-design-toolkit-how-to-giving-your-product-a-voice-ab51e91b50fd
#Introduction time: Folks I know (and some I don't! Hello!) are already finding me here, which is amazing and exciting and bewildering, a bit. Teach me your ways.
I #write (and #read) for fun (#regencyromance, #historicalfiction, #history) and profit (I wrote Cultivating Content Design, and #ContentDesign is what I do). I #run, but not fast. I hang out with my #cats. I #knit quite a lot.

Hi friends, checking out Mastodon for the same reason everyone else is.
If I get around to posting more than this intro, it'll probably be about work culture in #ContentDesign #UXwriting and #ContentStrategy. You might also see left-wing social justice stuff, birds, cats, feminism, tech, crafts and DIY, books I'm reading, and the like, from my home in #Vancouver.
