📢 I'll be running an online session called 'Let's Talk About Design and AI' at #ServicesWeek this year

[from a conference] there's a certain sort of man who fearlessly projects his opinion as a universal truth, and the ongoing work of both meeting those men where they are while also championing a different way of being is one of the most difficult bits of modern feminism

At the end of a working day, when we shut down the tabs on all of our devices, we should shut down the tabs in our heads too. Five ways to do this:
1) Savour an indulgence
2) Mindful breathing
3) Share a compliment
4) Get some fresh, outdoor air
