Had a lovely evening @transformgovtalks.bsky.social highly recommend going! Intently listened to @jamestplunkett.bsky.social 'the energy at the edges'. Thought-provoking, has made me want to read and reflect more on 'rewilding' institutions and 'civic renewal'. "what we pay attention to grows"

'Too much panic. Not enough disco.' What did this make you think of?

Got so immersed in accessibility writing this morning in Billie's garden. I was semi aware I didn't have socks on but eventually realised my feet got quite cold

I do not think there is a time of day which cannot be improved by hot cross buns

instead of being on Twitter you should read a book

Tempted to combine a hot cross bun with ice cream..ooo

I like this Also toasted hot cross buns!

Little reminder that axe-con, organised by @deque.com is this week!! It's a free online, two days (February 24 25) event, with a very nice line up of talks about accessibility and inclusive design. Want to learn about accessibility? Register, check them live, or catch the replays! #Accessibility

Expressive cat

Here’s what I’ve learnt about cycling in a city with an 8 year old. For a start, many kids prefer to cycle than other ways of travelling. It gives them freedom and autonomy. And yes, even in the rain. Recently my daughter was offered a lift when it was hammering … 1/10

There is a giant glowing inflatable cat by the harbourside in Bristol this evening I forgot to take a photo but it's also amusing as a thing to imagine

Reminder that low support needs doesn’t mean no support needs, and that sometimes it can mean high support needs for small periods of time.

3 weeks to decide, 9 months salary to choose to leave - almost certainly forever - the industry you've dedicated most of your adult life to.

Something that has brought me joy recently has been watercolours and soft pastels It's lovely to create colourful abstract things from your imagination 🎨

The weather feels like a TEST

Glad I looked up through the sleet for this gift! Amazing rainbow above the Thames with gulls going mental!

Very fond of moss and Wales 💚

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Adorable corgi 😊

I have seen the most English video ever made and it is this

2 minutes of sunshine spotted in Bristol

Get your employer to send you to my design research workshop on February 12. It's real good. The last one had such a fantastic group. You can tell your manager it's about AI. I'll do a very poor robot dance. www.eventbrite.com/e/lets-do-de...

Inspiring work on creating a service pattern library for Wales by @cdps.bsky.social They have shared patterns for booking and application journeys Thanks to Liam C for sharing this

Moss and a tiny tree

This reminds me of Vonnegut

You can meet a range of access needs in low -fi prototypes if you're willing to do them in more than 1 way.

The Great Irish Shear Off like Bake Off but people shear sheep Inspired by my colleague having a haircut, made me curious how much a barber would charge to shear a sheep

Me in school: the two things I hate most are homework, and presentations Me today: *writing a conference talk in my spare time* I sure love doing homework for this presentation

“Anyone could tell you that people are overwhelmed, that the attention economy is struggling with inflation issues, that what we need is more calm technology. But it’s not what we are building.” (by @spavel.bsky.social) productpicnic.beehiiv.com/p/the-circul...

Listening to the birdsong :)

Nothing like leaving your cabin and seeing the entire sky is green. I love it here. #iceland #northernlights #aurora

I am enjoying the snowboarding fun to watch people jump off things Also I like snow

Just been made aware of Haiti's winter Olympics get-up. That skirt looks warm, has good pockets, and has a massive horse on it. DING DING DING.

Imagine bringing American food to Italy

The Winter Olympics are a lot more about almost dying than the summer ones, tbh

aw a bunch of very midwestern americans packed into a tram car, some perhaps experiencing functional public transportation for the first time in their lives,

I woke up and listened to the dark side of the moon. Now pavilion of dreams Brilliant time, chips & chats with @brendanarnold.bsky.social & @domtheoptimist.bsky.social et al. with fun Pink Floyd bit haha If you are curious about creative tech for public good, definitely reach out to Brendan! 💫

nevermind spanish, some of you have three days to learn how to dance

Another wildlife surprise from this past weekend. Saw lots of footprints in the snow, and then 😊 #mammals 🌿

Two important things: 1) after tomorrow the sun will not set before 5pm again in the UK…until October 2) if you’re struggling just now *please* be kind to yourself

I am very fond of gelato/ice cream, I would like to try making it at home and experiment with different flavours. Any advice or DIY flavour recommendations? Should I get a machine?

Morning Bluesky.

Got my hands on possibly my favourite sticker yet. Diolch @niacampbell.bsky.social a @transform.wales

I'm going to share a very good story about the internet. I won't tell it well because I apparently have the flu, but I think we all need a good story about the internet. It starts in 2021, when I took a sabbatical and got a little workspace to write a design book.

So I know a lot is going on right now, but I do want to share this: I’m excited to share the launch of the new Microsoft Inclusive Design website 💙 This project is my love letter to the community and practice that’s shaped my work for nearly a decade. inclusive.microsoft.design 1/

Bike, Bristol and it didn't rain!

Tomorrow I fly back to the Lofoten Islands in the Norwegian Arctic. Last year the first night we arrived I filmed this outrageous combination of full moon rainbow combined with Northern Lights. Hard to imagine how this year could top it, but fingers crossed!

Despite the talking, I am honestly a delight to work with 😂 I'm looking for a fractional Product leader/ Coach type role folks, 2/3 days a week, remote ideal but London based and can travel occasionally. Also available for workshops/ training/ away day type fun! Shout if you hear of anything? Ta 🖖🏻
