Bit much to pick on English degrees when they spelled Britain wrong on their leaflets

Pose-y pic.

Excellent day, very inspiring and thought-provoking day. Now on the (fragrance free) rail replacement bus home. At least the bit in the middle was good!

Off to the Cambridge Judge Business School excellent Wo+Men's Leadership Conference so things should pick up substantially in an hour's time!

Ah, L'Autobus de rail replacement, avec l'eau d'urine! 💖

This is so true, I'd not thought about it before - and now I'm going to notice it all the time 🔥

Sue Keogh @smkeogh.bsky.social · 9d

What a tragic and bitter story. I dislike intensely the trend for dehumanising language (surrogate, not surrogate mother, and gestational carrier) and the transactional, exploitative approach to women's bodies

Sue Keogh @smkeogh.bsky.social · 9d

Sadly a dim and distant memory!

Well, when we were there the bank was below. We did the joke shortly after they moved out because people kept saying oooh, who's moving in...! 😊

Six years after our April Fools joke that downstairs from our old HQ a new Brexit-themed cat cafe called Rees-Moggy's was opening up, I was delighted to see there actually IS a cat cafe coming to Mill Road, Catte Latte 😹

I hadn't read those plans, thanks for sharing. Looks really good in my opinion, unless I'm being hopelessly naive and missing something!

I was thinking yesterday that it does have the makings of a beautiful town square like you see in Belgium, Austria and big European cities. It wouldn't take much to make it a delight

Not only is Meta a tainted brand that people now deeply distrust, but from a physical perspective, do they ever consider the millions of people like me who wear glasses already - are we wearing two pairs at once?!

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg claims anyone not wearing smart glasses will be at a “cognitive disadvantage” in the future. But you'll have to pay a hefty social price for those added smarts. www.wired.com/story/meta-s...

Note for @acarpen.bsky.social. In my feedback after the (excellent) event, I said on one hand I found the Guildhall an old-fashioned venue, but thought it's GOOD to root it in the community, to avoid tech being in a bubble, a reminder that wealth generated needs to benefit the local community too

I wrote a longer #CamTechWeek post over on LinkedIn, including why I was deeply unimpressed by Nick Clegg

Focus v distraction. Energy and momentum v zombie companies. Human in the loop v the black box that no one understands. It's hard to condense my 15 pages of notes from 2 days of intensive… | Sue ...

Oh yes! I'm sure it was

Sue Keogh @smkeogh.bsky.social · 21d

Great. OK, baton passed and I'm now off to days three and four!

Sue Keogh @smkeogh.bsky.social · 21d

Like, imagery for a rare disease charity for a blood condition... when a lot of people have a fear of blood/needles.

Or women's health, when social media filters are in place relating to women's bodies and terminology.

And how we feel about the phrase 'battling' cancer. Great discussion

Sue Keogh @smkeogh.bsky.social · 21d

Really pleased with the masterclass sessions I ran this week with rare disease charity Beacon, giving founders of very small charities confidence in writing for the web and creating content, with a focus on NHS Digital guidelines & accessibility.

Really interesting peer-to-peer discussions too...

I discovered yesterday that we're in the same building @techgc.bsky.social - so coffee must be achievable 😊 Have a good day at CTW, how was day one?

Sue Keogh @smkeogh.bsky.social · 22d

Update: it's a nope!

Sue Keogh @smkeogh.bsky.social · 23d

Let's do it! I'll message you tomorrow

Aha! It's good to connect either way - looks like we have complementary talents

Sue Keogh @smkeogh.bsky.social · 23d

Curious to see if Labour's comms team can pull off a rare success tomorrow and get Sir Keir Starmer out there delivering a calm, measured statement that miraculously manages to keep everyone happy, reduce tensions, and tells Elon Musk to do one along the way
