it took a while but is definitely worth it!
if you have a local independent gym instead of a chain they can often be quieter and have a really good supportive community

Thank you to Ray from British Toilet Association for your insight and to @gaillyk.bsky.social for your excellent interview 🚽🙌

The world breaks my heart every day in multiple ways, but also a bluebird alerted me to a barred owl this evening

recently started becoming really paranoid about using Spotify because I have no idea if they’ll start suggesting unlabelled AI generated music / artists.

I’ll be cancelling when my current subscription period is up I think

The link would've been a helpful addition to the prior post: www.toiletmap.org.uk/dataset

The data is refreshed daily by a CRON job

I'm looking to put some time into documenting our API soon also!

Some Saturday reading 📖
My new copy of @gaillyk.bsky.social and @jo-anneb.bsky.social 's new book arrived just in time to pick up on my walk into town.

A café table with a cup of coffee, a glass of water, an almond croissant, and the book 'Designing Inclusive Public Toilets: Wee the People' by Jo-Anne Bichard & Gail Ramster.

My book is published today 📚. It’s called Designing Inclusive Public Toilets: Wee the People, written with @jo-anneb.bsky.social. It’s part inclusive design guide, part manifesto for better public toilets 🚽. Buy copies for all your friends! 🎁. Here’s what you’ll find inside 🧵

I’ll be walking a marathon with some mates for Macmillan in May along the North Norfolk coast 🥾🥾 if you can spare some pennies for the fundraising it’d be super appreciated 💚 I’ll post some pics of the views afterwards www.justgiving.com/page/oliver-...
