ngl i think it’s telling that film people are always posting cute little jokes about “xyz” coded character being autistic but one of the major festival movies this year has an explicitly autistic character played by an autistic actor and suddenly no one has anything to say

"User-centred" in Welsh is:

(Work that centres on the users)

Don't suppose there's a shorter way of saying this?

Bluesky’s limited character count + my Covid brain resulted in this being quite a lacklustre bit of promo. But IMHO this is one the most important episodes of this series.

The rights and safety of trans people are being politicised, threatened and eroded right now and we have a duty to fight that
Happy #SystemsOfHarm podcast day to all who celebrate 🥳

Today’s episode features author of best-selling Good Services, @loudowne.bsky.social

Lou and I chat about design systems and gender, and how to provide inclusive experiences for trans people.
