@KahuekaHuntley @bchesky @TheyDoHQ Thanks for recommending @KahuekaHuntley – not heard about this, but it looks very interesting!

@a1exssh @figma Just wanted to say thank you for making this — I've just discovered it and can't wait to try it out with my team!

[The Leadmill @Leadmill]

To clarify, if the landlord gets their way then there will be NO more Leadmill.

Everything that currently makes our venue what it is will be gone.

The sign will go, the staff will go and the building will be stripped of everything that makes it unique, including our name.

@SlackHQ Fantastic feature, @SlackHQ! Think this will prove very useful going forward. Hoping that you will add auto-captions to this sooner than later, as our team need accessibility options for our deaf and hard of hearing colleagues.

🙏 Thanks to @emma_aldington for a wonderful talk on actioning #a11y best practices in the design process. Lots of great considerations and resources shared. Much appreciated! #IxDF

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.

[Matt Paul Johnston @heymatt_j]

Disgusted to hear how fat private companies have gotten from our government's lacklustre handling of the pandemic. These covid contracts need far more scruitiny.

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

Channel 4's #Dispatches is exposing the absolute catastrophe that's been unleashed by the government privatising the response to coronavirus.

This pandemic of privatisation has put people's lives at risk and undermined our fight against the virus.

[Matt Paul Johnston @heymatt_j]

Yep, this is pretty fascinating.

The US election is tomorrow.  If you, like me, are tired of horse-race-style reporting, and need to zoom out, I wanna tell you a story. It’s about an ancient force influencing the election. And, as a bonus, it’ll give you an Easter egg to watch for as the returns come in. THREAD

'Empower people to evangelise your design system' – Thanks to Iannish Posooa from @what3words and @uxsheffield for an insightful evening.

[Chelsea Shaw @ChelseexD]

Another great talk from @uxsheffield & Iannish Posooa @what3words. Always interesting to see how design teams build their design systems with the buy in from other areas of the business, particularly developers. Kudos on the interaction/motion work! #uxsheffield #designsystem

It is only right we post this today (you're welcome) #YorkshireDay

[Matt Paul Johnston @heymatt_j]

@DeanVipond @uxsheffield Thank you for an inspiring talk, @DeanVipond. Great to see the public sector championing all the design principles we strive to get buy-in on in the private sector. A massive well done to you and your team for the outstanding work. #uxsheffield
