Dad forgetting he'd bought fill-your-own crackers is the day's highlight so far. 😂 Classic dad.

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

Any feel-good film recommendations?

Welsh language awareness training is mandatory for Welsh speakers. Whhhhyyy. 😑

"Because England has one" is not a strategy. Come on, Cymru. 🙄

A personal reflection on focus, autism, and accessibility, what focus has given me in clarity and self-acceptance, and why I’m choosing to keep building better systems, even when clarity is hard to hold, as we head into 2026. annaecook.com/writing/2025...

Interested in working in the open? Have a look at this new website showcasing great examples of working in the open in Wales. (Yes, I'm biased as I'm involved 🙃 but it's really a great resource and saves you time searching leading to most active practitioners)

Inspired by attending @govcampcymru.bsky.social , me, @niacampbell.bsky.social and @monikasw.bsky.social have been working on this little website to help promote working in the open and digital resources in Wales… cymruddigidol.github.io

Did cyber security training this morning and then opened an email and got phished by the IT team. 😽

Mandatory training just got meta. "It's your responsibility to attend mandatory training".

Death by mandatory training

Such a great day at Digidol AI at M-Sparc today! I spoke to the Senedd cross-government group on digital about Transform Wales and what needs to happen to turbocharge transformation next year. Great to hear from Welsh Gov CDO around plans for ethical, human centred use of AI 1/2

Just got my Microsoft Teams Wrapped. ‘You raised your hand instead of reacting 618 times’

Let's do this! Day one of Content Strategy: Leading Change. Over a decade in the making, bringing together everything I've learned from building digital capability. It feels good to finally share it. #ContentStrategy #ContentOps

New job, community stuff, and small acts of maintenance. medium.com/@niacampbell...

Probably biased, but I'm deeply suspicious of any platform, portal, programme, team or job role that has 'solution/s' in the name. 🥸

So much good stuff here! 👀 @weeknotes-bot.bsky.social

How about fixing your SharePoint site instead of sending annotated screenshots when people don't understand what to do? 🤷‍♀️

How are you meant to book blood tests for specific days of your period (between days 3 and 5, and on day 21) if there are no appointments for a month? Genuinely don't understand what to do. 🙄

You can help recovery by donating to the crowdfunded set up by the mayor and council www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

A little something I wrote on the language of digital in Wales for @transform.wales transform.wales/blog/2025/pr...

Folks, I'm looking for a huge favour. We (Transform Wales) are making some stickers to go with the book. There is one that is screaming out for a very specific style outside of our brand. None of us are graphic designers. Would anyone be up for helping design it? Will share details via PM. TIA

"User-centred" in Welsh is: Gwaith sy'n canolbwyntio ar y defnyddiwr (Work that centres on the users) Don't suppose there's a shorter way of saying this?
