I promise to talk about Greggs less next time.

Less static documents, more dynamic websites that evolve and show learnings.
Love this from @gilestur.bsky.social
Weeellllllll, if I can't repost now...
Welcome to the new Section 28. Unofficially implemented by Reform. So angry I could scream right now.
As a reminder, Kent County Council, despite Section 28 being taken off legislative books in 2003, as voted for by parliament, maintained their own version until 2010.

For anyone interested in respectful form design, this is superb:
I've just deleted a webpage that was annually using the equivalant amount of:
- kWh of energy used to charge a smartphone 658 times
- CO2 produced boiling 473 cups of tea
- kWh of electricity used to drive an electric car 51km
The internet uses more electricity than the UK.
Delete digital waste.
Have you come across any good proposition statements other than this from GOV.UK?
Looking for examples for a proposition workshop to show what good looks like ☺️

There's been recent focus on hiring designers from big-name tech companies (lnkd.in/eEjxq8EQ). Their skills are impressive, no doubt.
But in today’s climate of cost-saving, organisations need designers with the hard-earned experience of a transformation.

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search"
This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!!

Undeniably true.
And hope you have a great Christmas @usefulwords.bsky.social
I also loved Blur. But when push came to shove, I bought 1 x Country House and 2 x Roll With It. It was a tormentuous time.
Thanks Rod 🧡
I hope you and yours have a corking Christmas
Thanks for including this @amymcnichol.bsky.social @allconsuming.bsky.social ❤️
My first love was Oasis. If you didn't like Oasis, this essay is also about nostalgia and optimism, and hopefully you can substitute [oasis] with [your first band].
If you did like Oasis, press play on 'Whatever'.
This beautiful essay gives The Kinks Big Sky vibes: open.spotify.com/track/6OAAMw...
Friends! We only have a handful of books left. They include good words, 162 pages of munken pure rough 120gsm paper, lots of white space and cute illos.
TL;DR: they look and feel nice, and therefore make gorgey Christmas presents.

🤩 @mollywj.bsky.social, in her 'middle-age mum era', has written about fandom as grown up. "It feels special to be on the inside of something as remarkable as what she’s created, but also objective enough not to buy into every last element of it."

Do you know what a pouch of Douglas is? If you don't, find out in my short advent blog. It could come in useful one day...

Yep I know it is ironic staking claim to an anonymous essay I wrote about shutting up but I've wanted to write for @allconsuming.bsky.social since @amymcnichol.bsky.social started it and after @jo-scho.bsky.social managed to make this readable I am quite proud of it!
It's an utter joy to read 🧡
A life witnessed through the lens of the most delightful-sounding garb. Forever a joy to read @hardyps.bsky.social
This one is written by my GCSE English teacher. A self-proclaimed feminist, he pushed us to challenge patriarchal values and gender binaries in class discussions in the early 00s. He and his classes have had a profound influence on the values I hold today.
His essay is terrifying.
image is text that says: It's the kind of attention-seeking I've always been taught to scorn. Don't be too vain, too brash, too loud. But how much has that meant holding back, and diminishing myself in the process? ithoughtaboutthatalot.com
In 2024, I thought a lot about Gladiators

And it's brilliantly eloquent and honest.
Love this write up
A picture of the book, 'I thought about that a lot'
Chuffed to bits that an essay I wrote is included in this beautiful book.
Each year, @amymcnichol.bsky.social lovingly and expertly curates a virtual advent calendar of things people have thought about during the year.
Now marking 5 years with this peak handsome book.
Thank you, I'm proud as punch
