To think I once left a job because I wasn't busy enough 🫠🫠🫠

One of my favourite language shifts as a woman in STEM: "Thanks for catching that", instead of "Sorry I missed that".

Me, a millennial, sending bad news on Slack: "[Bad news] lol."

What a week. Though the dental hygienist said my teeth are "Great, well maintained". Finding joy.

Bonuses for "our technical teams"? Way to alienate every other skillset that's contributed to OpenAI's success.

Finally found an office chair that's actually quite attractive. It's.......... £4,500 😢😢😢

If you're reading this, please look away from your screen and out of the window for the next 20 seconds. May as well do some box breathing while you're at it. You are welcome.

Me: Does something I don't like doing. Also me: Treat time.

Bring back retro exercise classes, I say! I've just done my first step aerobics class in literally about 12 years and OMG it's as fun as I remember. More please. This photo is irrelevant other than to add: what a nice evening and view on the way home.

A weekend of shinrin yoku (forest bathing) was good for the soul 💚

Chloe Kelly: "I knew I was going to hit the back of the net." Yes girl, you did 😻😻😻

Was determined to hit a PB on today's run and this little roadblock had other ideas. Or maybe it was my good luck charm because I smashed it anyway 💪😎

I'm tired of London and Manchester being pitted against each other, like the geographical version of millennials and gen Z. Unfortunately a rage bait headline always works. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

As if I could forget 😭

This year I promised myself I'd do one new thing every month. Those activities you always mean to get around to but don't. Last night I ticked a sound bath off the list and it was a magnificent way to ease into the weekend after a stressful week.

Can we please go back to when the internet was basically just Rickrolling your friends?

A good day out involves team time, learning, snacks. So thanks to Google for showing us their Accessibility Discovery Centre. The ADC raises awareness of accessible design, showcasing assistive technologies from digital solutions like eye gaze software to (literally) hands-on solutions like Braille.

Babe wake up, horrendous new captcha dropped.

What a lovely little thread.

Getting ready on a day forecast to be 30°C, as a person who wears make up: Primer Make up Setting spray More make up Setting spray Setting spray Setting spray

Big thanks to @mcrdig.bsky.social for another inspiring Digital Her event! I did not expect to cry that much.

Name a better yoghurt.

Gorgeous running route to start the new week off right 💚💙

Waking up in a world where people are hungover after seeing Oasis live 🖤

In shocking news, I just finished a bag of coriander before it went soggy.

You can probably tell I had a fun time at yesterday's Camp Digital. Thanks for another thought-provoking event, @nexerdigital.com, and it was great to say hi IRL @amyczuba.bsky.social, @soh-yon.bsky.social, and @claragt.bsky.social. I am looking forward to turning my brain off at 5pm 😅 #CampDigital

@axbom.com has got us all there... #CampDigital

"Disabled people are the most innovative." — Claire Dellar #CampDigital

Took the opportunity to have a wander around the Royal Northern College of Music. This bit's giving Barbican Centre. #CampDigital

"People will defend the most awful bullshit because it's part of their belief system." — Alastair Somerville #CampDigital

Zeynep Engin kicks off saying she’s being working on the implications of AI for twenty years. Immediately makes the important and neglected point that this AI stuff isn’t new! We have lots of knowledge and expertise we should be learning from! #CampDigital

Never thought of it this way. Dr Zeynep Engin asked who's used ChatGPT in the last week. Basically an entire lecture theatre raised our hands. "You're all part of the biggest AI experiment in history, that is not governed.". #CampDigital

Kanika Selvan setting some ground rules for her talk, including "You can heckle but I will respond and if you cry that's not on me." Funny and terrifying, my kind of woman. #CampDigital

@jukes.ie starts his talk by confessing he got drunk and volunteered after last year's #CampDigital 😆

Baby's first keynote. lconic @herahussain.bsky.social presents the opening talk at #CampDigital while simultaneously being a parent. Normalise this!

Biggest UI bugbear: phone and calculator keypads not being the same.

Every month this year, I'm doing something I've never done before. Tonight I ticked 'running club' off the list.

Exciting! It's almost Camp Digital day, one of the highlights of the year. Will I see you there tomorrow? #CampDigital @nexerdigital.com

Retrospectives quite often equal free therapy 🙃

I DID IT! INBOX ZERO!

If you give me 5 pop-ups to close before I get to actually use your website, I'm going to exit instead. Yes recipe blogs, I'm looking at you.

Problematic AI use of the month: synthetic users. Like all things artificial intelligence, there are pros and cons. But talking to real people, understanding their genuine problems, is not 'a headache'. It's user research and it's key to user experience design.

Tomorrow, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) becomes law. And it's important even if you're not based in the EU. In case you missed it, I wrote a blog post about why. hippodigital.co.uk/blog/getting...

Devil's advocate: users won't notice that the new GOV.UK dot is higher up. Most probably won't even notice the wordmark is now on a blue background instead of black. We like to believe people recognise our branding but most aren't as familiar as we think.

En route to expand my mind at our interaction design community away day 🧠📈

Design crits aren't about pointing out what's wrong, they're to make sure the work is right. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Enormous fire off Oxford Road, Manchester. Stay safe, folks.

Can you please explain how cancellation is free here, please and thank you?

We've tolerated this for long enough: can someone please tell the Google Nest team it's not pronounced "eight thousand seven hundred and one"?

Soz if I look like AI but I refuse to give up on my lifelong love of the em dash and/or Oxford comma.
