@CCriadoPerez I don't know about this particular case, but it's very common across Germany to be paying for public toilets for men and women. Often 50 cents that you put into the turnstiles at the entrance.

@LindseyKelk Oooh yes pleeease. 😍

[Eva Jirjahlke @evakefa]

Excited for tonight! Only a few hours to go.

@TherabodyHelp we bought a Theragun Mini but the supplied UK plug does not fit onto the power adaptor. Can you help? How do I get a UK charger?

[Eva Jirjahlke @evakefa]

@tomhiskey We are hiring for a mid and a lead product designer (both perm) at @TotallyMoney! 👋 https://t.co/dl5T5oLYds

Come get your vaccine at the North London Jabathon!

[Eva Jirjahlke @evakefa]

What are you weekend plans? If you live in North London and can get to Lordship lane, this is a great option 💉

[Russell Hearn @rustlehearn]

@caitlinmoran Thanks for the incandescent feedback on our service! We are offering a 24 hour vaccine-a-thon @MorrisHouseGP starting 6pm on Friday 17th Dec all the way through the night till 6pm on Saturday. If you can help us get the word out 🙏

@giuliavmerlo Weirdly it's a guy trying to sell a recruitment software to me...odd strategy...

[Eva Jirjahlke @evakefa]

"You found my British accent confusing." Excuse me, but wtf?! In what universe is this an appropriate thing to write to someone?

[Eva Jirjahlke @evakefa]

@mtthwwht I've just finished it! So good and so so bizarre.

[Jared Spool @jmspool]

I pine for the day when UX research is no longer sold as a way to “validate” the designs of products or services.

This thinking limits what teams deliver.

Going down this path just to get a foot in the door creates so much extra work later on to break away from it.

[Eva Jirjahlke @evakefa]

@mtthwwht omg yes. The worst bit: you're still stuck in your current meeting so not only can you not just get up and walk around but most likely you will miss the beginning of the next meeting...and your step goal.

[Eva Jirjahlke @evakefa]

I started this role in March 2020, only a few weeks before the first lockdown. It's been quite a ride.
I think I need some cake now.

[Eva Jirjahlke @evakefa]

I just sent my last email as User Research Lead at Citizens Advice. It's an odd feeling finishing a job while sitting at your kitchen counter. I have the deepest appreciation for my team and I'm so proud of all of them.💛

[Eva Jirjahlke @evakefa]

Ah yes, another tip from a man for how we should act as women so that men don't murder us. I'll add it to the list, right below "flag down bus", "don't get drunk" and "don't wear short skirts". Anything else?

Just when you think the absurdity of victim blaming could not possibly go any further, here is a Police Commissioner openly blaming Sarah Everard for what happened to her on BBC radio https://t.co/brN6rRSf2q #FixTheSystemNotTheWomen

[Eva Jirjahlke @evakefa]

@giuliavmerlo I was thinking exactly the same as I was walking home after dark last night. First option that came to mind was literally run away.

[Eva Jirjahlke @evakefa]

@mtthwwht Thanks! So far I've only been looking at over-hear ones. Will check these out.

[Eva Jirjahlke @evakefa]

Just saw a headline about hidden micro-stressors (sadly couldn't read the *paywalled* article - the irony). But I'm finally convinced that I need a pair of noise-cancelling headphones to shut out the permanent construction noise outside my window. Any recommendations?

New @CitizensAdvice blog about Financial Quicksand - the dark combination of nudge and sludge that makes online spending too easy to slip into and too difficult to get out of https://t.co/akTjzgo1vQ

Financial quicksand doesn’t appear by accident, here’s how it happens🧵(1/10)

I get that tweets about how much refugees contribute to society are well meaning but I very much feel like so what? If someone's being harmed I'm not going to ask "are you sufficiently inspirational" before trying to help, accepting refugees is just good in its own right
