Some great advice from kind people in this thread on how to stay positive in winter ❄️
Like many neurodivergent people, I struggle at this time of year when it gets dark and cold. Does anyone have stuff that helps them they recommend? I try to trick my brain by finding joy in blankets, candles, books and cozy things. It sort of helps but my mental health still declines every winter.

AS IF I snuck this episode of Systems of Harm out yesterday without posting about it - but 90% of the design systems community was at Converge.

This week’s guest is none other than @bradfrost.com (‼️) talking about design systems and ADHD.

Props to @lurkmoophy.bsky.social and the @zeroheight.com crew for such a fun Converge. Highlight was Natalya Shelburne's uplifting talk and relatable aesthetic 🔮

Spring Geri always leaves Autumn Geri something in her big coat pocket to find and delight in. This morning I received £5 and a stale chocolate from an Indian restaurant #winning

This week felt like chaos, found the common denominator.

This remains one of my all time favourite pieces of writing.

My favourite talk this year, the way @katiefenn.bsky.social breaks down the explainer is just masterclass (plus you get to dance to Daft Punk at the end). More please!
Hey #WDC2025, if you want a talk to watch on the way home, my talk from @heypresents.com was published today!

I make some Daft Punk with a MIDI controller and a web browser.
Not only that, but we managed to interrupt a movie playing in the screen next door with the volume of the demo. It certainly woke us all up before heading off to the social. It sounded incredible! Watch the talk and find out more here:

Loving the vibes @webdevconf.com today, the legendary @loftio.co.uk is smashing it with design for developers 🙌

I'm really interested to hear devs' thoughts on this – When interviewing, do you prefer Live Coding or Take Home tests?

I've made a poll on Reddit, which would be great if you could respond to, but I'd love to hear any thoughts on here too!

Working on tokenised design systems I got to a point where it was quicker to spec out components in text. Making your design specs machine-readable means you can query them. I've recently started to annotate accessibility semantics like this. @nathanacurtis.bsky.social is ahead of the game as usual!

Brilliant lineup at WDC this year, looking forward to catching up with y’all.

Just received a box of sweet swag from the @zeroheight.com crew. Thank you lovely people! I get excited by nice socks.

Just ordered Crocs with fur in them. Somewhere in the space-time continuum, I feel 20-year-old Geri silently judging me.

I’m giving myself a challenge: one blog post a month for a year. Mostly on accessibility. If you’re into that, here’s my RSS feed:

Turns out I'm not ready to write a book
Sometimes the universe puts wise people in your path to point out the obvious. Like maybe start with a blog before committing to 50,000 words.
