I didn't think anyone would read this. I certainly wasn't expecting it to resonate so much. A massive thank you to everyone who has shared their experiences ❤
We all deserve better.

I wrote a personal piece, just to work through my own thoughts. I wanted to be mentally rid of it before the new year and that I may as well hit publish. Pregnancy, a pandemic and the patriarchy. link.medium.com/vO7831Mwmmb

Can we once and for all dispense with this tedious "But he always took the bins out and said hello" commentary, as if there was a contradiction here that needed explaining.
Violent men ARE "nice guys".
They're nice to everyone but the women they abuse. That's the whole point.

Par for the course isn’t it? Of course the person directly impacted isn’t centred. In any decent World she would be invited to speak first, instead she’s silenced while people around her bray and cheer.

Right now Diane Abbott is standing to ask a question in Prime ministers questions.
As her safety is debated by others.
Something very wrong if her voice isn’t heard today…

I stopped engaging in the design discourse on here for no other reason than because it's super fucking boring. It's the same surface level "blah blah blahs".
"Your portfolio is blah blah blah"
"AI is going to take blah blah blah"
"Design as a craft is blah blah blah"

“It’s come to mean something else” from Vine there. No it hasn’t, it’s just been hijacked by thicko’s and patronising old white men.

Today is as good a day as any to test that site you’re working on with a keyboard.
Can you fully access all of the interactive elements without a mouse? Can you see which element is selected as you move through each page?

It’s always the victims of racism that are expected to “rise above it” - usually by people who don’t know what it feels like.

Written by a very close friend, this makes me both smile and blub.
A beautiful, subtle and powerful essay about love, respect and social exclusion 💔

Can everyone please stop adding their Mastodon usernames to their Twitter names? It’s really frustrating for screen reader users. Hearing them being read out loud when scrolling down my timeline isn’t fun.
Add it to your bio or make a pinned tweet instead.

Not going to lie, this brings back trauma.
When my family first received a notice to be deported back to Cyprus, my mum would hide my brother and me at family friends' houses in fear that the UK border agency would come knocking on our door.
Your dream was my nightmare.

Content design hive mind: I’m looking for some compelling and up-to-date stats on the return on investment for content design. It’s been a while since I had to pull anything like that together, so everything I have is a little dated.
RTs appreciated.

I once stared at a piece of code for 15 minutes trying to figure out what "par" meant.
Eventually I realized it was "parent".
Someone saved 50ms by not typing "ent". The savings was paid for by 15 mins of frustration.
Don't abbreviate. Thinking is more expensive than typing.
