Public interest tech - that does good for people, communities and the planet - is a no-brainer, so why does no one want to fund it? @jamestplunkett.bsky.social and I have 4 recs for how the UK civic and community tech landscape could be better supported www.careful.industries/blog/2025-12...

🛍️ This Black Friday NION Women are encouraging brands to ensure their shopping spaces are welcoming for everyone, including trans customers who continue to face uncertainty and exclusion. Read our latest blog on why this matters, and what retailers can do to lead with integrity.

I have a playlist of classic Malcolm Tucker lines that just ricochet around my brain when I see things like this happen

I was surprised to learn the Purple Pound is now worth a whopping £446bn in the UK! Accessible services are good for people and good for business. Our #TheHiddenJourney survey shows access barriers cause so much frustration, while inclusive retail experiences earn trust and loyalty #PurpleTuesday

The UK needs an independent process to calculate what the standard allowance should be that actually reflects what people need to get by. 🛡️ This would significantly strengthen our benefits system’s ability to protect people from hardship when they need it most.

Let me fix this for you. "This government deplores these racist, divisive statements." It is that easy! Just say the bad thing is bad straightaway and move on.

As someone who has been rigidly Windows/Android (read: can't afford Apple stuff), our IT team finally encouraged (made me) start using a Mac for my work laptop. Quote 'You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner!' Gritting my teeth as I admit they were so so right. This is a whole new world.

First speaker announcements for #CampDigital 2026 are coming soon. Hold the date - we’re a bit earlier next year - Thursday 7th May at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.

No spoilers, but we already have some wonderful people confirmed for next year's lineup 👀 Get in touch with me or @shaungomm.bsky.social if your organisation is interested in supporting us as #CampDigital 26 partners

I see you Norway, and I appreciate you 🙏

Trying to work out if the bad mood is related to the colder weather, full moon, or the Tory party conference* *I know it's the latter

Thrilled to welcome Petra Landfors to our growing team in the Nordics, led by @hannakarppi.bsky.social Petra joins us in Stockholm as part of our international #accessibility practice, strengthening our ability to support global clients with awareness, training, and compliance tinyurl.com/mruewfsj

We're running a survey as part of our national accessibility campaign #TheHiddenJourney. If you encounter barriers when navigating online retail experiences, we'd love to get your thoughts. You can fill in the survey at the link below: forms.office.com/e/AZPraHaWHq #Accessibility #eCommerce

Had a bunch of really good chats this week (many of them with @chrisbush.bsky.social ) about disintermediation, and how quickly organisations are going to need to react to the huge shift in how users are accessing information and services through AI tools. It's fascinating, and a bit scary

The Forth Rail Bridge. Had one of those weeks where the news just feels insurmountable and no words will do the job. But this walk from Cramond to Queensferry a couple of weeks back really was a bit of a sanity saver. Love these early Autumn days where everything just feels so fresh and clear.

Best train Wi-Fi I have ever encountered EVER... no charging plugs...

I wrote a blog post about the most common accessibility issue in digital design. Those of you who know me won't be at all surprised to learn what that is. 😉 #a11y #design #acessibility #wcag

Pumpkin spice latte is the opiate of the masses (I am the masses, getting very anxious watching the news)

Sincerely, with each passing year I am more and more grateful to live in Scotland. It isn't without it's problems of course, but people aren't plastering fucking George crosses everywhere. Parts of England have changed so much, even in the 10 years since we left.

Is it really the Edinburgh Fringe if you don't get Covid? 🥲

’Nuclear weapons were built with human hands and can be taken apart with human hands. There are no technical barriers to disarmament; all we need is the political will to act.’ childrenspeacememorial.org/paper-cranes/

Make this by Danny your Friday lunchtime read - a deep dive into the inaccessibility cycle, how it perpetuates exclusion of those with access needs, and practical ways organisations can make a difference. A brilliant read.

I've signed the @nionwomen.bsky.social 'Not In Our Name' open letter. We are cis women in support of the trans community and we are clear: those who continue to target this minority group do not speak for us or represent our interests. www.change.org/p/not-in-our...
