In one month I’ll be speaking at Birmingham Design Festival. Come join me!
And let me know if you’ll be there, I’m even more socially awkward after pandemic isolation, it’ll be fun 😂

Was just asked to apply to be a Google Women Techmakers Ambassador.
No way. I am not using the little social reach I have to promote the harmful work of Google. And using inclusivity to draw women (or any marginalised folk) into promoting Google is 🤮
@aral tooting at you!

Hi folks. Can anyone recommend a good English instructor for 1-1 remote sessions? Looking for someone to help a beginner with their conversational English a few times a week. Their current spoken languages are Farsi with some Finnish.

In 15 minutes I’ll be speaking live at #pw21 about “People might actually use this” and the intersection between privacy and inclusivity. Just moved house over the weekend, and managed to get the office space together just in time 🤞

Not on elementary OS?
Couldn’t care less about task switchers?
That’s OK, you can still download and use the lovely wallpaper by @margodeweerdt you see in the screenshot in the previous post.
