@andybudd Oh that was a joke! My bad, I don’t know what your comment was, but I’m sure everyone else got it.

[Thomas Michalak @mighty_mess]

@andybudd Never understood the need to fuel a divide between UI and UX. Often those memes would be better labelled with “Business needs” VS “User needs”. Come on, you’re better than that.

I am in a very bad state of mental state right now. But I can’t hold it anymore. I don’t feel good at all after what happened. I physically feel ill, I’ve been either cycling between panic attack and sleep deprivation since then. I want to make my content accessible too

Luckily my partner is strong and was somehow able to drag my wheelchair up the giant step onto the train.

Both wheelchair spaces are entirely taken up by bikes.

[Katie Pennick @KatiePennick]

THREAD: I’m a wheelchair user, and I can’t travel by train on Sundays (it seems).

Context: I’m trying to get to London from a small oxfordshire station. I’ve booked assistance using @PassAssistance, but it is ‘unconfirmed’.

I’ve arrived at the station, and there are no staff…

I was asked during an interview today:
“How does it feel to go to the Olympics and not be recognized by competing skaters, like Margielyn Didal?” So I had to explain that she was joking with her caption. My life is weird.

@HelloDanMortley @JonnyBchn I also learned what not to do as a creative director when working at Edelman. You can learn from people that makes your life hell, just takes longer to notice. @spencerdkelly was ace though! Learned a lot from him (mostly Donkey Kong actually 😂)

[Thomas Michalak @mighty_mess]

@HelloDanMortley @JonnyBchn That’s so kind @HelloDanMortley, we’ve all learned from each other’s. I’m sure you’re learning a lot about yourself while mentoring juniors. We had fun, kind of fun that gives you big hangovers so you can’t do it for too long ;) I couldn’t have done it for longer!

[HelloDanMortley @HelloDanMortley]

I'm lucky enough to say I had the seniors I needed as a junior, I just try and be that kind of senior. Shout out @JonnyBchn @mighty_mess

[Thomas Michalak @mighty_mess]

Haha. Just imagining myself saying this in a meeting. 🤣😬

[Punks With Purpose @PunksWPurpose]

An open letter, to BrewDog.

[🌱❤️‍🔥 @kail_penner]

this deserves viral.

[Thomas Michalak @mighty_mess]

That's what corp business really sounds like

[Sharif Matar @sharifmatar]

I just want to make sure we’re aligned but I also want to be respectful of your time...
