The ‘Co’ part is universal across many disciplines, sectors etc. and often assumed to be super easy - it is not!
The ‘Design’ part is specific and comes from a discipline of knowledge, practice, experience, expertise and skills.

😁 hey Sarah! I can only agree with you. I can only try to add… co-design is an approach that is quite literally split into two (interelated) parts: the ‘Co’ part and the ‘Design’ part.
The principles, methods, tools, *practices*, goals etc) of both parts need to be brought to bear in codesign.

Masks work.
Lockdowns work.
Vaccines work.
Vaccines don’t cause autism.
Ivermectin is for parasite-infested horses.
Pass it on.

Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.

At the Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield, waiting for a performance by Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers.

Banging.

Grasping at possible silver linings - is it possible that by the end of the trump presidential term, the Republican Party will be so soundly beaten, they will have no-one in power anywhere for the following 20 years?

Would it be possible for all non-USA countries to raise import taxes for USA and reduce them for every other country?

This aged badly

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

I can relate.

As UK academic sector £ crisis deepens, funders (@nihr.bsky.social) beware: academics in ‘KMb’ roles are high risk losses. Typically ill-defined, transdisciplinary, not easily fitting specific REF units … roles not supported by Unis directly, without external funder £s.

More on the crazy laws…

In Quitman Georgia, it is illegal for chickens to cross the road.

We guessed that at some point, someone really didn’t get the joke…

Apparently, in a town called ‘Normal’ in Illinois, it is illegal to make faces at a dog.

I am guessing you are now wondering the same thing we were when my 12 yo read this out to me.

Is this a ‘knowledge gap’ or simply a lack of knowledge …

Trump rhetoric “Make America great again”

51 bus service in sheffield is ‘officially’ the worst in the region.
Pay Hulleys to provide more 257 services. They are more reliable than First.

First buses in Sheffield continue to support the argument for public ownership of public transport services by insisting on providing crap 51 service. Mis-leading signs about cancelled services, buses 30 mins late, & single deckers over full.

Is the Zoe app widening inequalities? After all, those with the greatest need are surely unlikely to be able to afford it?

FTSE 100 bosses make more money in 2025 by noon today than average worker in a year Bosses to hit milestone on third working day of 2025 with median hourly pay of £1,298, says High Pay Centre

FTSE 100 Boss: earns average median workers yearly wage in 7 days.

Also FTSE 100 boss: we can’t afford a wealth tax - yeah right….:)

Here at @ShoulderofMutt with @LoxleyBand ready for another night of local carols. A selection below with obscure names like ‘Fren Bank’, ‘Back Lane’, & the ‘universally’ local favourite ‘Diadem’.

Breaking: doctors starting to suspect that women's bodies work differently than men's

The next few nights:
Admiral Rodney (Loxley) on sat eve.
Stanwood church Sun am.
Shoulder of Mutton (Worral) Tues eve.
Punchbowl (Crookes) wed eve.
Lomas Hall (Stannington) 21st.

If you want to know more about the local sheffield carols see link.
Weirdly, the only other place in the world you will find these specific caroms outside Sheffield UK, is Glen Rock, Pennsylvania, due to a migrant 100s yrs ago.

Every year my daughters brass band spends nearly every evening in December going to local pubs & playing local sheffield carols. The Crosspool Sportsman is always packed for it. Standing room only.
Pop in if you are passing by.

A great eg of “co-biquity” (coined by Oli Williams et al.)
Hot topics for me: uncritical use of CoDesign risks undermining it.
Use ‘co’ & ‘design’ critically. Ask oneself is ‘co’ *and* ‘design’ appropriate in a specific context?
Then ask oneself is a process authentically ‘co’ *and* ‘design’?
