I don't know why the reporter felt the need to mention undiagnosed neurodivergence. ADHD and autism do not make people into torturing bastards. If that was attempted mitigation then the lawyers need to have a word with themselves.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

I was laughing at this too. They definitely weren't just lusting over/wanting to be liam whilst 8 drinks deep, like everyone else

We are having an online launch event for my book on Thursday 22 May if anyone would like to come? It's after work-ish www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/considerat...

I'd prob find International Women's Day less irritating if it wasn't a day in which women were expected to *do more things*. International Women's Day should be a day on which men do things like actively commit to reducing their entrenched intellectual biases and go and buy 10 books written by women

this is a great thread

I'd love to hear all you ladies thoughts on all the things! I'm consciously choosing to follow many, many more women here, but the timeline is not ratioing

This is a brilliant story, and reiterates that being a landlord should be incompatible with legislating on housing, or purporting to want a more equal society

Hello lots of new people following me 👋 I might be posting about content design and accessibility and inclusion from here, or I might just post about Paul Mescal and Eastenders. We will see.

This gif comes up first with my name. I don't know who she is but it's Paul Mescal when meeting Prince Charles. King, whatever

I made a Black women in tech starter pack because I couldn’t find one and it annoyed me.

The single thing you could do to quickly improve public services?

Redesign all the words.

I wasn't expecting this to get outside of people I already know, so thanks for sharing. Rebekah barry linkedin brings me up first 😃

It’s funny how public health discourse is always about prevention, and encouraging good behaviours, rather than diet pills.

But when it comes to public health technology, that same thinking goes out the window and AI will negate the need for interoperable standards and basic, usable stuff.

This is awesome! You always seem to be getting really hard things done, massive well done to you 💙

Literally anything to avoid linkedin. I suspect a tiktok dance would be less cringey

This is a great suggestion I've been meaning to take a proper look

Secretary of state for work and pensions 😆

The real test of Bluesky as the new old twitter - Can I find a new contract? I'm available soon for content design and strategy work with accessibility and service design sprinkled on top. Re (tweets?) appreciated!

I forgot that they existed

Woolworths, deciding to go to glastonbury the day before, and hope

How we improve content Content design does not stop once the page is published!

Great post on content maintenance - highlights:
- improve or delete? Search volume and traffic thresholds
- fact checking and risk: subject expert content checks every 12 months, if it hits 18 months without a check it's removed

Haha I'm in the I want a camera like Rachel stage

"Mummy, come look, there's a skunk in the garden" 😆 @rachelanne.bsky.social

When asked “is this accessible,” I always have to create a line between if something is accessibility compliant versus higher degrees of accessible/inclusive.

Your product can be accessibility compliant and still suck to use.

That is really interesting! It seems all disciplines are getting more balanced now thankfully
