In today’s unexpected AI repercussion, my hairdresser told me customers are now starting to come in with reference photos of ‘people’ with hair colouring that is basically impossible.
Get yourself to Bada Bing in the Northern Quarter!
I can't explain why, but the Pret acai bowl feels inherent gothic.
They absolutely knew I didn't want the definition of thesaurus. Come on mate.
My ultimate suggestion is a footstool that looks like a massive teacake.
Was on a @theschoolofgood.bsky.social course this week where they referenced this page from the 1944 FBI Simple Sabotage Field manual and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. www.cia.gov/static/5c875...

I am a huge advocate for working from home, but it does mean when your team get some great news at the end of the day your celebration is walking to the supermarket to recycle your soft plastics.
Helpful reminder this week in a conversation with a smart, cultural, 23 year old graduate friend who admitted she didn’t really understand what I did. Started telling her about digital products etc, when she asked “yeah, but what is the civil service?”
So nice to bump into you on the stairs! Thanks for saying hi
My aim in going to #ukgc26 was to understand if to do my job well, I needed to be like all the people I see on here being super knowledgeable about the civil service & making big change.
What I learned is no one knows everything and change takes time & patience. And that was really, really helpful.

Isn’t it weird how everyone else’s presentations are boring and overlong, but your own are fascinating and effervescent
Multi disciplinary teams 💫
As another festive season of parties and gatherings approaches, thoughts and prayers to all the PMs trying to explain what they do to Auntie (not actual Auntie) Barbara or some bloke called Steve clutching a multipack can of Fosters.
Rory choosing Yale over Harvard is very much 'strong ideas, lightly held'. Using evidence (pros and cons list written in Luke's) to inform the decision. It's just good stuff.
When they’re asking you to update the project scope on Confluence
4 stickers laid out on a wooden table. They say: 1. Stop focusing on shiny tech / Llai o sglein, mwy o synnwyr 2. Test and learn, don't guess and launch 3. Profi a dysgu, nid dyfalu ac i ffwrdd a hi 4. Plans don't change things, people do
Our stickers have arrived in time for @govcampcymru.bsky.social on Friday!
Who's going? 🙌
He dropped the ball on controlling the scope and vision, but I was getting strong (tired) Product Manager vibes from Jon #doyouneedtheEAPnumber #bornintheOKR #thunderroadmap
Used a semicolon in a PowerPoint, and am now waiting for everyone to tell me how smart I am.
If you want me to work from the office more, y’all need to eat your crisps quieter.
“I have visions”: witchy, dangerous, intriguing
“I have a vision”: prepared, leadership, secure
Creativity is important in the workplace
Every time I delete a exclamation mark from a email I feel a deep connection with the sisterhood.
