We are go! Professor @stephwilsoncity.bsky.social launching #HCID2025!

Small businesses (online or not), please put where you're located on your Insta profiles, FAQ pages and contact pages. Especially where you're physically located if you have a storefront!!!

Got a ConEd alert telling me to use less energy during the heat wave and this is all I can think about.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

My husband, 34, has been ID'd buying alcohol twice this month. Legal drinking age is 18 with a requirement to ID anyone suspected under 25.

From my experience, if you ever need developer help to do user research, just cancel the work. I have not once been able to make a jira ticket or something similar and have it actually be picked up in order to get a piece of research done. It constantly gets deprioritised until it's forgotten.

Dear people on Vinted Gingham is NOT checkerboard Tartan/Plaid is NOT checkerboard Shepherd Check, Buffalo Check and Tattersall are NOT checkerboard. If your item is not 2 coloured squares in an alternating pattern, IT'S NOT CHECKERBOARD

Apollo 10 1/2 has made me realise the point of having children. They clean your house for you

Ey oop! New letter/petition launched by cis women fed up with all these gender crits presuming to speak for them. This is NOT for trans folk to sign, so please don't. But if you have cis friends and allies, do point it out to them: www.change.org/p/not-in-our...

Dunno if this will help anyone but JAL baggage drop and general security queue at Haneda are quite long right now. Come early

Oof Boots, does no one QA your emails?

Personal anecdote but I went to the cinema to see this movie. I go to one new release a year usually, high praise for the film to get me out of my living room.

Interim EHRC guidance instructs UK orgs to segregate Trans+ people in public single-sex spaces 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/interim-ehrc-guidance-instructs-uk-to-segregate-trans-people-in-public-spaces/

The nice thing about having a holiday fully planned and booked is it's already mostly paid for when you leave. Everything feels free!

If you know, you know

Bit miffed Lucy & Yak has a returns charge which is included on their returns page but is hidden under an accordion, unlike many other important details. Should be presented up front, as one of the first bullets @lucyandyak.bsky.social

Another day, another rejection due to my salary requirements being too high. This time I rejected them though so that's kind of a win.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

Just seen a small business make a post about how times are tough so maybe their customers should consider payment instalment plans to purchase their items. Hard to see us on the same side when they feel the solution is debt so they can stay in business

EXPOSED: Fake water nationalisation tag would still save £3 billion a year. University of Greenwich research shows how taking back control of our water delivers a better deal for the public. Sign our petition to bring water into public ownership: weownit.org.uk/act-now/lets...

Gingham is not checkerboard. Vinted people need to learn the difference

Watching a content creator sort through their books Got rid of books by a TERF and a sexual criminal. Yet still kept H*rry P*tree 🤔

Yall real silent about disability injustices because most of you don’t see disability as a thing that can happen to you. We are “aww those poor people”. Meanwhile disability can happen to anyone at any moment and those injustices you ignored? They become your experiences too

Anora is like an extra long episode of Euphoria, in NYC instead of LA. It's fine but winning every Oscar is a bit much.

Hot take: Sticker sleeve tattoos are a symptom of small, fine line artists charging per hour instead of per tattoo.

Would really love to see more of this tbh. I doubt Carney and I agree on literally anything else politically, but if the rest of the world doesn't isolate America diplomatically we're going to end up in an even darker place than we are already.

Another day, another rejection due to "indicated a desired salary that is significantly higher than we are able to offer for this position." I was only asking for £5k more than I make now. What kind of shite salaries are y'all accepting in London for UX Research? #uxsky

A meme creator I follow has started charging to view their memes. Don't know how to feel about that.

Rejecting an interesting role because it requires spending 8-12 weeks in the US per year.

I don’t know a single disabled person that isn’t willing to work to the extent of their capacity, if only the system allowed it instead of forcing too steep rules and limitations. Sure, it’s an anecdotal sample, and with the usual notes about “wanting to work” in general. Still. (Also: UBI)

I don't like melon. Would my innie like melon? Otherwise those parties would not be motivating

Going through my COVID memes and this one . . .

i see wes streeting has reached Phase Two.

Others have probably realised this before me but Devon Sawa and Christina Ricci have 2 on-screen kisses in 1995 alone (unsure if they have more tbh)

My most recent job interview situation has made me realise how important it is for us to move back into zone 1/2. Interviewed for a job I liked. I'm willing to go hybrid again but I can't do a 1 hour commute. Sadly it was in the part of central London that would be 1 hour+. So I had to pull out
