Finishing up writing my thesis on media and democracy and basically, fuck capitalism and fuck the tories.

@gerireid Thanks Geri! Really happy to hear

[Imanina @byimanina]

Just got back from Bristol (lovely city btw) after doing my first ever in person talk! Thank you @webdevconf for having me. It was great to hear all the other talks too. I've learnt so much and have come away from it feeling inspired.

[Imanina @byimanina]

So to start I figured I'd share my talk, you can read it here: https://t.co/K5q0ogOWjV

I've had this idea of talking/writing about design against capitalism for a while now so I'm going to use this opportunity to renew that motivation to actually get some shit out there.

[Imanina @byimanina]

I'm looking to do a bit of reading/research around class in relation to design - where's a good place to start?

@david_millar Hi David, would love to chat with you about https://t.co/evYsFlks1m if/when you have some spare time?

[Imanina @byimanina]

Good morning Glasgow! I'm hoping to speak with some people who were at the #KenmureStreet protest in May - do I know anyone on here? RTs welcome! #NotAMob

#InternationalWomensDay was developed as a celebration of working-class women and their contribution to the struggle against capitalism. https://t.co/vvNbqGQcPN

Every song off this album feels incredibly relevant and relatable to this past year, almost hard to believe it was released pre-lockdown. 100% recommend give it a listen!

The right look at students coughing up £9k a year to be taught by underpaid PhD students, just to get a job which has 0 to do with their degree and spend half their income on renting an ex-council flat, and think the reason why the young don't vote Tory is cos of cancel culture.

[Imanina @byimanina]

@DhruvSharma101 That's good to know, thanks!

[Imanina @byimanina]

Do design/creative jobs exist outside of London? And aren't looking for 'design ninjas' who 'live and breathe design' with a bazillion years experience despite being for a junior/mid role? Oh and can pay you a decent salary? Or am I asking too much?

[Imanina @byimanina]

@DhruvSharma101 @operanomad Yes! Been keeping an eye out but mostly seems to be senior/lead positions which unfortunately is above my experience just now, unless I'm missing something?

On the lookout: opportunities for a recent service design grad with a background in interaction design? I’m most passionate about people, technology and the services they use - check out my portfolio, I’d love to have a chat around all things design🤙🏽

“A politicized designer is a collective designer, because designing is not an activity accomplished by one person.”

[Imanina @byimanina]

I'm on the hunt for work! I've got a mixed bag of experience in design, open to flexible roles - do I know anyone on here who knows of anyone hiring?

Super interesting read!

'Together we will break the chains of Westminster. Together we will create a free and fair Northumbria.'

Is Northern secession the answer to decades of under-investment and decimation? Read this article by @FreeNorthNow and find out.

https://t.co/GtZZ51O6AX new website lets you see how much you MP claimed, while voting against free school meals, all google ad revenue will be donated to @FareShareUK , the charity @MarcusRashford has been working with, cheers

[Imanina @byimanina]

But all I'm saying is, there are better alternatives to tackle these issues rather than the system that caused them in the first place🤷‍♀️

[Imanina @byimanina]

Some thoughts re this article...

[Imanina @byimanina]

Sure, it asks all the right questions and says enough of the right things to make it seem like it's the right direction to take - who can argue against carbon neutral goals and closing the gender inequality gap?
