Hi, how's it going? I'm Justin. I live in Brooklyn and design at Vimeo I like to cook and look at things on the Internet.
I share all the cool things I find at A Variety of Things. I think bears are awesome. You should definitely watch some of my favorite videos.
I'm on Twitter but don't use it that much. If you want to say hi that's cool too.
I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing–smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it–until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.

Kristen Wiig does Lana Del Rey on ‘SNL.’ Of course this is perfect
Every body needs to chill the fuck out about Lana Del Rey.
“The use of passive voice when we talk about violence against women, shifts focus off of male perpetrators and onto female victims and survivors.”

“it’s got to be as bad as that looks like it is”
“the bed going up and down. your mother screaming. your father saying ‘shut up’”
“boys wear pants” “not when they’re dreaming!”
“it is a miracle I have lived this long without destroying a person. I still have a little bit of time.”
“fuck those e-books. they cannot be. they may be the future. I will be dead, I won’t give a shit”
I signed up for Pinterest way back when, I was excited that I got “justin” as my user name. I think it’s an interesting service and have been quite glad to see it grow in recent months. It is, by far, the place where things I share get the most attention/repinning. I fully appreciate the growing pains associated with the kind of scale they’re seeing but there are just certain things that I don’t understand. I’m hesitant to criticize since I know decisions are not made arbitrarily when it comes to UI design but I have to ask: Huh?
This is a module under a pin showing how many people shared it. It shows me repinners. Well, some of them. The “+## more” looks like I should be able to click it to see them all. But I can’t.
This is the “my boards” view. I would expect that clicking on the name of the board takes me to it. I would also expect clicking an individual thumbnail takes me right to that pin. This is not the case. Only the group of thumbs is actively clickable and goes to the board. I cannot click the title. I only today realized the thumbs go to the board. For the longest time I was hitting the small area of padding between the top line of thumbs and the title. Why can’t I just click the title?
It is a testament to Pinterest that I bitch about these little things. Like Tumblr, if I didn’t really like the service I’d just stop using it. There just seems to be some obvious UI fixes that would help a lot, usability-wise.
