IRL @dasbarrett.bsky.social at my first #CampDigital did not disappoint... although I thought I'd see some IRL tea/flask activity.

Asking this on Bluesky out of laziness, but would any south London/south London adjacent folks who work in tech be interested in taking part in a "work in progress" night to try out new talks? (quick 🧵)

I do think there is an age element to this - where long trips just don't appeal in quite the same way when you're older. It's also why travel can be so great in a way - in that eveyrone can have a different experience based on what context/experience you bring to it

For those of us who have always believed in assisted dying, it's quite an extraordinary thing to see happen. The kind of daring, delicate, sensitive decision which British politics almost always ducks - suddenly grasped.
