Cars, phones and teachers. Jeeze my life is like some fu*ked up comedy/nightmare today.

Trauma informed design for government services. My latest obsession, see you on the other side!

Life goal right here ❤️

Red lines for AI in User Centred Design Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.

Excellent post by the brilliant designer Ben Raine:
"AI reflects the data it’s trained on. That data rarely represents the diversity of people who use government services. Without inclusive research and co-design, the risk of exclusion and discrimination is high."

@accessgiven.bsky.social looking forward to this today! Might just be the neurodiverse friendly tonic I need ❤️

I need two pints now like 😭

The biggest fucking drink that exists. Sorry. Ummm not sorry. It's been 'a week'.

Tough day. Not even 10am.

Are you though?!? I'm here...

Is it really only Wednesday? Sigh.

We are happy to share this article published today for #dyscalculiaday

Feeling panicky, worried, 'other' and fearful. Seems like that's the purpose of this. Classic tactics used throughout history.

Oh wow! Glad you found it useful - lovely to hear from people who have listened to our chat.

Whoop! Hope you find it useful 🙏

Mmmmmm

This is such a great example of traffic on it’s own being a vanity metric. Always have your checks and balances too

I am trying my best to ignore the incessant news fest from 'over there' *waves vaguely towards the Atlantic ocean.
But this morning I thought I had a different pair of trousers on until about an hour ago.
How's your day going?

I've boogied around the kitchen this week to Wham Rap...much better than I remembered it! 🤩

I woke up with a headache and randomly, Right Said Fred singing 'Deeply Dippy' in my head.
How's your Tuesday going?

Seven years. Seven years of getting logged out of the same system, having to ask to get reinstated, why? Because I couldn't see my password when I typed it in. First time with the option to see my password? I did it correctly. #Accessibility it works!

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,333,651!

Doesn't change a thing about what I *think* I know about you... that is someone who is passionate about his work, helps others and supports making digital things better for everyone. ❤️

Whaaaat? Nooooo!

I know my Bluesky profile is exceedingly suspect (no avatar, low post count, handful of followers), but I’m definitely a legit human, and happy to buy a couple of Camp Digital tickets for folks in early stages of career. The Nexer bods are matching me too, so do pass it on. Thanks.
