I’m looking to learn more about the cross over between service design and learning design. we’re looking at the skills we need in our team as a lot of our work is designing for learning outcomes for delivering our programmes and services.

it’s wild that a public figure can freely spread misinformation about breastfeeding beyond 6 months, on national TV without any challenge by the presenters. to say it is ‘selfish’ ‘an addiction’ and ‘harms attachment’ is nonsense but also deeply sad. breastfeeding a 3 year old is normal!

I’m starting a new job today as early years design lead at BookTrust. after an 18 month career break being with my son I have become very passionate about early years development so I am looking forward to getting started. ✨

had a great day at #ResearchByTheSea today, really interesting mix of talks, from birds, everyday resistance to holistic accessibility. it’s given me lots to think about and lots of inspiration. we can’t be limited by narrow scopes as people cannot simply ‘descope their lives.’

is anyone going to the research by the sea conference in brighton next week? I am going!

this looks like a great event, I’ve signed up.

If prototypes fail it’s not a bad thing, but why did they fail? where is the learning? publicly funded test and learn programmes should have to share learning, publish it but make it accessible and findable. a lot of smaller orgs and charities would benefit. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

yesterday in London and today exploring the South Downs a couple of miles from our new house carrying my son on my back while he spots dogs.

had an interesting day at #ukgc25 and was nice to meet some new people including a few who had previously work in arts + culture like I did back in the day. my favourite session was about libraries - how we can protect them and hearing about sustainable alternative models for their future.

after 18 months out of (paid) work on my parenting career break I am quite out of the loop so I’m looking forward #UKGC25 on Saturday. who else is going?

If you run an indie or community web service of some kind and are worried about the incoming Online Safety compliance duties, we’ve put together a @carefultrouble.bsky.social mailing list and been in touch with Ofcom to see if they’ll do some engagement buttondown.com/indie-and-co...

the ADHD urge to catalogue all our records despite them being already boxed up and removals people coming Sunday. but feels like a good ‘just in case’ thing to attempt to do.

we finally exchanged and we’re moving to Worthing next Monday!

anyone who thinks that the private sector is by default efficient and modern, have a look at the conveyancing process.

you’re not going to get many public complaints from junior production staff on precarious, freelance contracts who are constantly told to ‘keep the talent happy.’

2 days by the sea has cleared my sinus infection that I’ve had for over a month.
