💉 How well did the 2023–24 COVID vaccines protect adults? A new study found they reduced critical illness by 48%, hospitalisations by 30%, and ER visits by 24%. Protection peaked early and waned over time. 🔗 doi.org/10.1001/jama... #SciComm #COVID19 🧪 #Vaccines

The wealth-worship of Tory/Ref voters is truly pathetic. Many of these people are not, and never will be, super-rich, and cannot understand that they do not benefit from CEOs earning x200 what they do.

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

I don’t know what it is, but I’ve got a really good feeling about Front End North. I’m so excited to speak and hear the other talks, meet new people, have some fun, learn some things, get energised again. If you’re on the fence about a ticket, come and hang out - it’s going to be awesome.

When I got involved with Front End North, one of the things I wanted to achieve was an affordable ticket price. My inspiration was WordCamp London, which priced its tickets so that the whole community could come - not just developers, but testers, designers and writers too.

Searched for peanut flour… got an advert for @sainsburys.bsky.social that specifically mentions peanut flour But guess what? Sainsbury's don't sell peanut flour 😡

Early bird tickets are now live! It's a wonderful day, made so by all the wonderful people who attend and talk and share their experiences (importantly that means attendees too ❤️). It's a few months away, but secure your seat and join us in November: 2025.ffconf.org

I wish UK Labour hated injustice the way it hates trans people.

A while ago we pulled down an old shed and then a couple of weeks ago I spread wildflower seeds over the spot Think it’s fair to say the buzzy critters love it and there’s still loads of flowers yet to bloom

On my way back to London after #PixelPioneers - Going through my photos and remembering how great the warm-up event at Just Eat was. Really insightful and fun talks by @gerireid.com & @ashn.uk and @whitep4nth3r.com! Thank you 🧡

I feel like there used to be more understanding that if you punish people the same for mild acts of protest and actual terrorism you just make terrorism look more appealing.

Probably the most thought provoking talk at @pixelpioneers.co was @nearestnabors.com tour of the agentic web - left me with lots of thoughts and questions #PixelPioneers
