We’re running free training in how to use our new improved street accessibility tool at the Guildhall in London this Friday and next Tuesday. It’ll include a case study on how it was used at Bank Junction. Open to anyone who works in street design. More details in the thread.👇

Quite the debate breaking out at Coventry Station ladies toilets.

Who needs morning cardio over 5 minutes of live TV.

I’m an academic on the telly! Life ambition unlocked.

Thank you! Love the alt-text. I could feel myself waving my hands, unable to stop.

In today's blog post, @jo-anneb.bsky.social ‪and @gaillyk.bsky.social talk us through "Designing Inclusive Public Toilets," and why if designers can get these facilities right, they can design anything accessibly. ➡️ Read now: bit.ly/3TIXnEd #AcWri #AcademicSky #accessibility

Yeah no can't think of another way you'd move a train engine. @ Walthamstow International

IN THE PARK   In the park, the tall trees are waving in the morning breeze.   I wave back only to realize they are waving at the person behind me.

Some Saturday reading 📖 My new copy of @gaillyk.bsky.social and @jo-anneb.bsky.social 's new book arrived just in time to pick up on my walk into town.

This book looks very interesting and reminds me of the best public toilet of the year awards in Seoul and that one society in Korea dedicated to a healthy public toilet culture. Of course, I'm always interested in the #LinguisticLandscape of public toilets and all those signs . . . .

My book is published today 📚. It’s called Designing Inclusive Public Toilets: Wee the People, written with @jo-anneb.bsky.social. It’s part inclusive design guide, part manifesto for better public toilets 🚽. Buy copies for all your friends! 🎁. Here’s what you’ll find inside 🧵

I’ve realised who ChatGPT reminds me of - Chandler’s roommate Eddie. Nicest guy you could hope to meet them BAM, fucking insane.

Trying to quit the gym. Send help.

Ok, this fucking rocks. Everyone should be able to use the bathroom when they're out and about.

EHRC conceding individual fully-contained (‘universal’) gender neutral loos are a viable alternative to single-sex toilets, for employers. - so can the Building Regs now permit this for new builds too? Give future employers - and their employees - a better choice.

Crossing West Ave bridge in Walthamstow is to view the next scene in a ten-year conversation between the local taggers and whoever it is who has fifty shades of grey (paint).

📢 My motion calling on the Mayor to write to govt requesting that provision of public toilets becomes a statutory duty for local authorities with ring-fenced funding to support delivery and maintenance passed unanimously! 🧻

We're delighted to be at City Hall today to push for better public toilet provision in the capital at the @londonassembly.bsky.social Plenary meeting 🚽

At City Hall with @londonlooalliance.bsky.social to see @carolinerussell.bsky.social’s motion. She asks the Mayor to write to government so councils have a duty to provide toilets with extra ringfenced funds - London Assembly gives unanimous support!

📢Now is your chance to be heard if you want public toilet provision in London to be improved 👇

Hey girl, are you a bad typo in an important email? Because I didn't notice you at first but now I can't stop thinking about you

11 year old: is there such a thing as a machine that people just like say things to and listen to…? Me: 11 year old: i mean like, a phone, but like just for calling people…? Me:

I think under-appreciated aspects of bike infrastructure are public bathrooms and water fountains. This post inspired by me encountering multiple locked bathrooms today and water fountains that have not yet been turned on for the summer.

*crab-walked

For five years, we’ve mapped gender neutral toilets. But for 4 in 5 public toilets, we just don’t know what loos exist. Can you help find more?

If you're feeling down, please remember the Viennetta ice cream video set to Darude's Sandstorm

How many gender neutral / unisex toilets are there in the UK? www.toiletmap.org.uk/posts/gender... (spoiler: we don't know, but here are 1447 of them)

“32 Magic stars” is as close to a realistic portion guide as ever I’ve seen.

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

I know it's boring but can I talk about Building Regulations? Because the ruling about single-sex spaces becomes worse when you consider the Tories intro-ed regs ('part T') that ALL new non-domestic buildings are required to have single-sex toilets. Scrap it, and loos become more inclusive for all.

You think things are bad now? Mum texted news from the village.

This obsession with other people's bodies in public toilets would be comical if it wasn't so offensive. (1/4)

‘The name of this town has been spelt by different writers and at different times in no less than 140 different ways.’ Passed a 1836 article on the history of Birmingham from The Penny Magazine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pen... on my way to the RCA Cafe.

Bah humbug April Fools. Is this not the autonomous future we deserve?

Looking at national flowers on the £1 coin with child 1, talking about national animals and wondering how our royal crest ended up with a unicorn and not, say, a dragon or a heffalump.

Bank Junction. A cyclist's dream. Except purple and orange cyclists are released at the same time. Both sets are going 'straight on'. Sometimes the purple line includes buses, so that's fun. Anyway, finally saw cyclists have a swear-y crash this morning because of it. #london #cycling #londoncycling

‘you know there aren’t actually a thousand pieces in a 1000 piece jigsaw’ I said that over breakfast and it’s been quiet for a while and I’m reading a book with a cup of tea.

‘Can’t wait to show my lil bro how I doodled that time our dad conceived him by cheating on my mum with his dead wife’s evil twin LOLZ NO NAMES CAN’T GET MAD’ #neighbours

Haha going to try reading all of Trump’s future statements as a massive pisstake.

When I was 4, I asked my teacher how to spell I. ‘As in your eye?’ ‘No, like, ‘me’’ So she turned to the ‘I’ page of my spelling book, staring at me the whole time, and wrote ‘I’, and my brain thought ‘yes, this seems like a moment we can torture ourselves about for the next forty years.’

2022: Elon Musk’s fury suffers major outrage down to users’ Twitter. 2025:

Soothing article of gentle British wit, like the good old days of the BBC magazine.

Read some great books recently. Technically ‘listened’ as they’re audio books. Poetry ones! They’re set to music. By Taylor Swift. On shuffle.

Some days you just wanna give up , let everything go and follow the light inside of a red cabbage

On #WorldBookDay, child 1 wanted to be a train from the excellent Peter's Railway series (Christopher Vine). A great continuation for train fans who've graduated from Thomas. Lovely stories about a boy, his grandpa and their model railway, with technical engineering details. Modelled by child 2.

Oh fuck, proper LOL and maybe woke the house up 😆😂😂

No matter what is happening in the world we will always have Emu hurling Rod Hull into a freezer to cheer us up!
