quite fun to go back to the comments on early GDS blog posts. "I presume this means merging everything to a single mega-site...this doesn't seem to me to be a very sensible thing to do at all." "Well good luck with that. I hope you have some very good technical folk in amongst your web designers."

This is exactly what I mean when I say that it is impossible to reduce friction, only to move it around. The text-making-up machine dropped the friction of "research" to zero, but every single person downstream of that "research" who has to act upon it now shoulders a double workload.

an email I just received from a charity I've supported for many years (my mum's best friend was a co-founder) "At ABCD Bethlehem, we’ve been working for over 40 years to improve the lives of children with disabilities across Palestine — regardless of faith, race, or gender."

since the death of Twitter sometimes it's hard for the indie designers & researchers & trainers to get the word out about what they're doing, but if you sign up for updates from Clara & Ignacia you'll never miss a training course again!

I still chuckle at this report cover sometimes. Grateful to work with a team who are confident enough to inject personality and wit into the work. What's the point otherwise? cc @soniaturcotte.bsky.social @rodm.bsky.social @eliotf.bsky.social

absolute scoundrels at Miro, just learned they bill for the number of seats / licences you have even if you've deleted the users who were allocated to them. I bet they make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year with this deceptive pattern but does that make it right? IT DOES NOT

every judgement that attempts to crack down on definitions of sex and gender is also bad news for those who don’t look like they “should”, and so it will continue until everyone has to pretend to be Katy Perry in space to be a woman
