It is really important to check trusted sources if you use AI to find out about your housing rights. AI doesn't always give the right information or tell you everything that you need to know.💡

I had to read the article to understand what "physical wealth" meant because despite having a decent income and nice house I own barely any *things* worth any money. Just my laptop and phone, worth a few hundred.

Nice dataviz from the ONS showing median wealth split by category at different points of the distribution: www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...

70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

#TheBudget Just Stop Billionaires.

I have upgraded my phone to one with a better camera mainly for the purposes of zooming in on specks pulled from my child's hair to see if they are dirt or head lice. Also for macro photography of flowers and insects. #MumsInTech

Our tax calculator is now updated for the Budget: taxpolicy.org.uk/wp-content/a... You'll see no change in the tax you pay in 2026/27 unless you're a landlord or receive interest/dividend income.

It is simply because the Mail thinks disabled people shouldn’t be seen in “nice” cars there is no economic justification for it

Watching Iron Maiden videos with the family tonight. My 5yr old son goes, "why is his body so hairy?" 😂

When you spot someone sleeping rough, you can share the details with the local outreach team at www.thestreetlink.org.uk. It helps workers offer guidance and routes into safer accommodation. #BeTheLink

Salaries in digital should be up 78% vs 2005 to match inflation but they're stagnant instead. In 2005 I had one year's experience and accepted a Digital Project Manager role at GOOD Agency paying £32,000. In today's money that's £56,918.

I'm having breakfast at Grand Central Kitchen before #UkCharityCamp and pleased to see people are actually posting here on the hashtag already!

Tried to do the #Halloween thing but in Scotland the kids tell jokes and I immediately forgot the format of basic jokes so I kept causing them to go wrong. "knock knock" ... "I don't know... Erm, what?" Or "trick or treat?"... "...erm, joke?"

Woohoo! I've been shortlisted (for the second time!) for a @charitycomms.bsky.social #InspiringCommunicator award alongside my client Wellbeing of Women! Category: Best charity and freelancer collaboration, this time it's for my work on the Period Symptom Checker. Fingers crossed!

W/ @megabeth.bsky.social at #TalkUX being like remember when people used to chat on the socials while at a conf and post pics like...

I am at #TalkUX, my first in-person conference since Twitter went terrible... And I'm missing the conference chat that used to happen there!

Remembering when Sussex police sent a uniformed officer to my workplace to tell me to stop organising an alternative pride BBQ on the beach (which had already happened a week before, organised by someone else)...

Does anyone have advice for toilet training regression for a 5yr old boy? Started 3 weeks ago and is wetting himself at least once a day now, after a year of rare accidents. He starts school in 2 weeks, but doesn't seem particularly worried about it or anything else.

Why is corn on the cob delicious but sweetcorn off the cob repulsive? Or is it just me?

Today I got two job application rejections. Booo. But yesterday I won two new freelance projects that will keep me busy till mid September so I'm pretty happy!

Hey is it bad if google AI search results stop people from leaving google dot com 99% of the time? All our news and information creators can survive just fine with one percent of their previous search traffic right? I’m sure it’s fine. www.404media.co/googles-ai-i...

Every week, I see at least one headline that’s exactly this tweet.

Banning people from work makes no sense. Some people who attended this event are still going through the asylum system. They all said that they are ready to work to contribute to the UK economy. What is the government waiting for? #LiftTheBan

19 years ago I was social bookmarking things to do with mashups, web 2.0, fonts, creative commons, and anti-intuitive interactive art websites. I wonder how much of this stuff is still live. pinboard.in/u:bethgrante...

Reasons my 5 year old cried yesterday: 1. I opened the door before he knocked so he didn't get chance to hide around the corner and jump out. 2. I held his glass whilst pouring his milk. 3. I pulled the plug out of the bath while he wasn't looking so he missed watching the whirlpool down the drain.

Today MPs will vote on the amended welfare bill. MPs who choose to walk through the lobby and support this bill are paving the way for at least 150,000 people to be pulled into poverty. Here are just 3 reasons why they should oppose this bill from @katieschmuecker.bsky.social 🔽

As MPs vote on massive cuts to Universal Credit & PIP today, they should bear in mind: - This does not have public support - This is not the change the public voted for - The public don't believe the only way to meet fiscal challenges is to make disabled people poorer and iller

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Why can I not copy text from Bluesky posts by double tapping on mobile? Is it possible to copy it at all? Google instructions are failing me.

Can local news websites please have an innovation that makes them readable whilst still making enough money to survive soon please? It is always such an awful experience.

When I see "change management" in job descriptions or service offerings I think of those awful companies that go into businesses and "restructure" them to "improve efficiency", = sacking a bunch of people - a business outsourcing its dirty work. I'm sure other people must think the same.

At the hotel we are staying at they have "entertainment" every night. This is where I learned that lip syncing isn't only done in drag performances. Bemusing seeing people in costumes stereotypical to their own gender, performing to what I presume is a 99% heterosexual audience, lip syncing.

Very interesting thread (and this picture has a labelled y-axis in a later post in the thread, in case that was bothering anyone else!)

First holiday abroad with my son.
