White and red text on a pink background is an interesting colour scheme for slides, @netflix #leadDevLondon #accessibilityMatters

I wrote a #song for my Dad’s funeral a few weeks ago. He was a hairdresser (relevant to the song) and he died of cancer over Christmas. I just put it up on TikTok if you’d like to listen to it. I’m not a professional, please be kind. vm.tiktok.com/ZMYk2edxb/

🧵 I’ve been unpleasantly surprised that some people seem to condone the public criticism of employees and/or the public firing of an employee for responding to this criticism. Here are my thoughts on these topics, which I hope would be obvious to any decent leader. (1/22)

Don't really want to leave Twitter and try to find everyone somewhere else, but it's starting to look inevitable so I'm over here: @hawkida@mstdn.social

Getting ready for the now regular holding/restraining/comforting the dog who's scared of fireworks for the majority of the evening. Don't get me wrong, got no issue with displays even private ones, but random solitary bangs for a month I find hard to tolerate.

Pixel 7 pro phone is great but as you can see from this screen shot the continuous heart rate monitoring on the pixel watch kinda sucks.
A graph of my heart rate which is horribly broken and missing more data than it shows, no more than a few minutes here and there during waking hours.

Got the new pixel phone - very impressed with the camera. This bird was at the top of a tree, I was at the bottom of. #pixel7pro

Finally, I can post the GBA I restored to give as a present to my wife. It's got a new power switch, CleanScreen replacement screen, new glass lens, CleanJuice USB-C power, UV printed shell, and Elite Brass buttons (and new rubbers) #GBA #Retrogaming all parts from @retrosixuk
A Game Boy Advance, the shell looks like it's paint splattered in lots of colours with a black background. The buttons are brass.

Hey @corddotco could you explain why your "Growth Lead at cord" is emailing me with unsolicited invites? Where did you get my personal details? Why are you using them?

I watched Cocktail for the first time last night and found myself with zero sympathy for the lead. What an entitled sleazeball!
