The book you ought to buy (even if you think you don’t need it)

The book you ought to buy (even if you think you don’t need it)

This month, I’m enthusing about Ginny Redish’s new book Letting Go of the Words: Writing Web Content that Works (Morgan Kaufmann). If you write, or your clients write, then you’ll learn from it. If you’re working on a content-rich website:Continue reading… The book you ought to buy (even if you think you don’t need it)

"I don’t believe that work has to be either an all-consuming passion or no more than a paycheck.

There’s nothing feminist about asking women to choose between two shitty options."

I wrote about the end of girlboss, "anti-ambition," and meaning at work. https://medium.com/nice-work-from-active-voice/where-do-we-put-our-ambition-now-71b37ee01869

So. I was about to remove Twitter feed from my site (access to user-generated online content) to take it out of scope of the Online Safety Bill when the bill was postponed. Now an investigation by @torres126CP, prompted by posts by @webdevlaw, says links have to go too. Gah.

Heather Burns @WebDevLaw

Speechless. No irony intended.

A follower‼️who is a high school student‼️FOI'd DCMS to dig into the #OnlineSafetyBill's impact assessment on every side project - including theirs - deemed collateral damage in the vendetta against Big Tech.

Young people, online, are the best. https://twitter.com/torres126CP/status/1558122692053766144

In today’s episode of “Fix the forms, one at a time”, @FarrarTamara describes how @NHSDigital is making an important service truly inclusive.
- research with seldom-heard-from people
- recognition that some don’t have a current address
- just as much care for paper option

Always a privilege 💙

'At times, the situations and experiences we heard about were a real life lesson for us to learn from.'

Here's how Senior User Researcher @FarrarTamara worked to ensure seldom heard groups were considered in the design of a new GP registration service.

For those at the back: you don't need to compare making something "easy to use" with "your mum could use it". It's an outdated, lazy analogy to insinuate women/mums aren't technology literate. I'm a mum. I also have a computer science degree. And so do many, many others #uxdesign
