More than a week of hefty covid symptoms and finally tested positive today as I’m starting to feel more myself again 🙃
Hello Birmingham! Back in Britain for my first in-person talk since before the pandemic. Wish me luck 😂
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.
