It’s never not a good idea to chinwag with the wonderful Sarah, highly recommend 🥰

Just had a brilliant catch up video call with the always lovely @sianmurrayhuynh.bsky.social - in an effort for me to be way less socially isolated (because, stroke, ankle, all that hospital time and out of work means I’ve been positively reclusive.
It was supposed to be an hour, nearly ran to two.

30 more women to tip this over 55k today? The calm, compassionate, inclusive feminists, who might not have seen the amazing support received for the trans community and the rejection of hate so far? Go on…

Not In Our Name (NION) Women @nionwomen.bsky.social · 10d

We expect to hit 55k signatures in support of our open letter this week, perhaps even today. Thank you to everyone who has signed or shared. Let’s keep this going:

As women we reject the narrative that trans+ people are a threat.

Weirdly I’m relieved to know that’s what was going on. But my quota is done, no more lurgy for me please universe!

If we have billions to throw at magic pixie dust vendors for digital ID, we have billions to end poverty.

What a dreamy 1.5 hours that was 🥰

Thankyou to everyone who came along to the radically good chat today and made it as good as it was. Dripping with positivity, it was exactly the tonic I needed (and that I suspect a lot of us do!)…

Gutted to be missing today’s @adhdpathfinding.org.uk workshop at PD HQ 😢

Unfortunately COVID has taken hold and all the adults & kids in my house are KO. Stay safe folks, lots of lurgy out there.

Have a fab time ADHD Pathfinding team, I’ll be back to the good fight soon! ❤️

So my otherwise lovely summer is beginning and ending with horrid lurgy. Does this mean I’m off the hook for Winter?

...So many of us know in our gut this is needed. But I want better stories to tell about why we're right, and concrete cases we can make to our teams & orgs about what we can do about it. I'm talking cold hard business case, research studies, plus all the messy, human, intangible bits in between...

Sian Murray Huynh @sianmurrayhuynh.bsky.social · Sep 8

..By this - I mean facing the worst effects of capitalism, patriarchy & white supremacy, and daring to dream up new ways of doing things that make workplaces safe, fun, and inclusive, protect our eco-system, and that evolve beyond sticking plasters to tackle the root causes of society's problems...

Hello folks 👋🏻 I'm looking for juicy stats, facts and insights that make the case for why it's so important that digital products and services are made ethically, sustainably and joyfully, and that they create radically good change for people, planet and future generations...
