A few days at #SDinGov has left me tired (in a good way) and reflective after many conversations about design, equity, inclusion and the reality of designing and delivering services in government.

I've got some thoughts. It's a bit of a long thread but bear with me.

@Emileee_Rose @MariaMMaclennan @cklebers_ I’ve just logged onto twitter for the first time in months. What a lovely thing to be welcomed by. Yooze are all just pure dead amazin. 💪⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👏

I’m baaaaack soon!! My leave has gone in so quickly!

hi, are you doomscrolling? Our bodies were not designed to be this anxious and stressed for so long. How about going to sleep early tonight? You still deserve time to rest and recover.

Can you tell that my cup of coffee kicked in about 2/3 of the way through the session?

@BBCRadioScot @bryanb1965 Can I request mess around by Ray Charles for my wife Elske? To be fair I’m probably just as bad at leaving things at my arse in the house.

[Jackie Martin @JackieMartinDO]
