So glad I made the effort to diversify my social media feeds (still too white and male but better than it was). There is so much that the media, and the Supreme Court, have missed. I would too without the posts here, thank you. Now learning about how to repair some of the damage that has been done.

Need to clean up my work laptop before I swap it for a newer model. Didn’t manage to save any of the stickers this time :(

Skipped weeknotes so I could finish writing up some lessons from my work on Discovery last year. Does any of this sound familiar? www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/05/a-jo...
