Excellent post by the brilliant designer Ben Raine: "AI reflects the data it’s trained on. That data rarely represents the diversity of people who use government services. Without inclusive research and co-design, the risk of exclusion and discrimination is high." medium.com/p/red-lines-...

I am trying my best to ignore the incessant news fest from 'over there' *waves vaguely towards the Atlantic ocean. But this morning I thought I had a different pair of trousers on until about an hour ago. How's your day going?

I woke up with a headache and randomly, Right Said Fred singing 'Deeply Dippy' in my head. How's your Tuesday going?

Seven years. Seven years of getting logged out of the same system, having to ask to get reinstated, why? Because I couldn't see my password when I typed it in. First time with the option to see my password? I did it correctly. #Accessibility it works!

I know my Bluesky profile is exceedingly suspect (no avatar, low post count, handful of followers), but I’m definitely a legit human, and happy to buy a couple of Camp Digital tickets for folks in early stages of career. The Nexer bods are matching me too, so do pass it on. Thanks.

After a pretty hard few weeks at work, I'd just like to give a shout out. Co-op content community is one of the most engaged, enthusiastic and just plain brill group of folk. You gave me such a massive boost and welcomed me with such warmth and kindness ❤️ Thank you 🤩

Ah International Women's Day. The same week I had to explain the concept of part time working twice to tech support. ( No I'm not working tomorrow). Who then also repeatedly ignored me by not listening/reading my actual tech issue. Forget the big gestures, check your bias.

Little known fact. Whenever I'm rolling my eyes at the latest tech bro outburst of 'AI will fix everything' I think of @curiousscutter.bsky.social banging out The Terminator theme on his pan. Every time.

This retort is my favorite

Tech speakers, stop using moms as your example of a non technical audience. Just use the exec team as an example instead

Nice, the European Union has officially stated that accessible overlays do not work. This isn't news to most of us, but it's always nice to have something official to point at! commission.europa.eu/resources-pa...

One thing that bugs me is the watering down of 'self care' to be a synonym of 'pampering' or 'looking after myself'. The phrase came from Audrey Lorde's radical black feminist take that she had to look after herself as the white healthcare system would not www.mentalhealthtoday.co.uk/blog/awarene...
