Come and work with me at the @FinancialTimes! I am hiring a Principal Engineer; ideally someone who is particularly interested in people-focused strategic work. More on what I mean by that in this blog post: medium.com/ft-product-tec…

Today’s decision in the US overturning Roe v Wade is shocking. So is the fact women in the UK don’t all have access to safe abortion. Add your name here ⬇️ glplive.org/Abortion-Access

When you ask people to name a book that changed their lives, they almost always name a children's book. And they always remember, with the intensity of a religious experience, the feeling they had when they were reading it. Those books go so deep, they become part of us forever.

Maybe not the biggest life hack, but I've switched from having daily todo list in work to having a weekly one and it's really helped me to focus and prioritise during the week

Got my hair cut tonight. About half way through I mentioned that I was tired and my hairdresser enthusiastically agreed that yes, I do look tired. She then made several sincere comments about how tired I look and how she could tell I was tired and that I should get some rest 😬

It’s weird that they give you shampoo in hotel rooms even though it’s fine to not wash your hair for a day but they don’t give you toothpaste which is essential

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that. As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵
