Corinne Pritchard

UX Designer, lindy hopper, trying to improve my chronically ill life. You will find me on Owned by a rescue beagle.

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

Briefly returning from the dead to let you know I will be back in the UK for good around the end of May, due to sad reasons. Since I will be broke, unemployed and disabled when this happens, any advice appreciated.

@derryderrydown Shades of Cabaret :)

I'm calling it. Twitter is dead. Pining for the fjords. Joined the Choir Invisible. It's been glued to it's perch for some time, and glue has finally given up the ghost. RIP Twitter.

@marcuschown I suspect it's more to do with endemic (and in many cases well deserved) trust issues with authority figures of any kind than particular disdain for any one type of scientist. Nobody believes anyone anymore. 'You can't tell us what to do' is the endless refrain.

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

The UK Home Office, everyone. Asylum seeker? Go straight to Rwanda, do not collect £200. Disabled? Literally die in a fire. Wow.

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

The government made a secret political decision that it would be too expensive and impractical to ensure that disabled people can safely evacuate from high-rise blocks of flats in emergencies, the high court has concluded.

@marcuschown They really need to change the record. It's legal immigration they want stopped. But that would reveal their bigotry, so they don't dare say it.

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

@StructuredSucc @HowtoADHD This basically requires dismantling whole, centuries old mechanisms of non-spicy enforced tradition, so if you have bosses who might be amenable, good. If you don't (most wont) then you need to lay down some serious groundwork if you want them to ever question 'the rules'.

@rowhoop @gloswildlife @SarahLargeBlue Excellent news!

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

@rowhoop @gloswildlife @SarahLargeBlue My dad has often told me the story of how he accidentally killed the last (known) British Large Blue when he worked for the then NCC, later English Nature. Wish I remembered more details!

@pitemon Ah, jfif. That Very Normal File Format.

@philipcball @alomshaha I... don't get it. For a lot of subjects teaching relies on facts, logic, and reasoning based on available sources, things AI is notoriously bad at. This doesn't help anyone.

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

@garwboy I was thinking the same this morning. I mean What. Is. Happening?! Nobody knows.

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

Is everyone just wilfully misremembering how terrible both Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg were and are at providing useful protections for literally any marginalised group? I don't get it. (She say, on twitter).

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

Wtf

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

One of the things I hate about my brand of #fibro is that the pain scale isn't hugely relevant unless I move. The 'desire-to-rip-my-skin-off' scale of uncomfortableness though? Wowee. Through the roof.

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

@burntcopper I think it's even more likely that passing wasn't a criteria.

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

@getgood This was cutting edge cgi, dammit!

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

@Nick_Ruskell @TomChivers You know it only tastes weird to a vanishingly small percentage of us, right? Otherwise they wouldn't make it. We're just really loud on the internet. I do wish they would continue to allow choice, though. Here in the Netherlands I can no longer buy sugary Sprite, for example.

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

@hazr198 @willperrin I'm guessing the reason for not liking overhead powerlines is probably something spurious, already disproven and / or homeopathic in nature. Sigh.

[Corinne Pritchard @design_corinne]

@TomChivers I quite like the idea of a soaringly beautiful museum building, but everything in it is just a series of empty plinths with 'on loan to the British Museum since 1860' placards.
