When you keep trying to redesign the toilet sign to make it more inclusive, sooner or later you realize that we are actually looking for a toilet, not a diverse set of people 🤦♂️. So how about a toilet with an arrow, and anybody who needs to use it, follow the arrow!
To be more inclusive, let's not draw pictures of as many different people as possible. We let people decide if the facilities will work for them. This includes stalls, handrails, size, urinals, type of dryer. Also, things like if there's music and care to avoid perfumes.
By focusing on explaining the facilities we are creating more awareness of the differences between toilets, not people, and providing autonomy for anyone to avoid and/or prepare before making use of the restroom - regardless of who they are.
In the end I'm sure most people can think of things that would help them decide whether or not they would like to visit a public restroom.
Just now came across this signage which is the best I've seen: x.com/skynebula/stat…

I believe it would be helpful for more journalists to realize that social media is not representative of society as a whole and that writing like it is makes the writer a modern marionette.
As companies rush to find ways of gaining your consent for their misuse of your data, we need to boost awareness and understanding of the “informed” part of informed consent:
permission granted in FULL KNOWLEDGE of the possible consequences.

I keep coming back to @uniboxapp and it is now my primary e-mail client on both desktop and mobile. Organizing e-mail by sender just makes so much sense! I discovered it first thanks to @setapp

That phones and apps take measures to help limit screen time really doesn't solve ethical issues. It also suggests that users should share in the blame.
If services apply ethical thinking, and actually don't harm us, we don't need to build separate solutions for avoiding them.
It sometimes helps to gain perspective, to consider that the next level it-stuff we're working on now will in just a few years feel as ancient as designing websites with tables and only 216 colors. This is a reminder to focus on the human, not the tech.

@z_rose Wow. I’ve never seen a prediction this spot on before.

@francisrowland That was my first thought, what would go into my box. It's actually a terrific idea for a xmas present for anyone, maybe then along the lines of "wind down" or "me-time" box.
We’re close now, $340k needed in the next 3 days. I believe in the values this endeavor represents. Do take a look. :) x.com/axbom/status/1…
Here's an idea: Stop asking to set default tracking cookies with a setup that no visitor understands because that's not freakin' GDPR compliant anyway!!!

This is my favorite video about stimming, that repetitive thing many people do to calm themselves.

@HellstromCarl @isakskogstad Håller med i det du skriver, Carl. Bra förtydligande. Tyvärr tillåter inte telefonintervjuer alltid den här nyanseringen. :)
@HellstromCarl @isakskogstad Det jag menar är att vissa saker som görs på mobilen kan falla under precis det du beskriver som motoriska uppgifter, där man inte är _koncentrerad_ på mobilen men utför en aktivitet som är lugnande för mig. Närliggande är också fenomenet "stimming".

@isakskogstad Väldigt lite är svart eller vitt här i världen. Det är inte multi-tasking jag pratar om i artikeln - att stimulera flera delar av hjärnan samtidigt som man gör empelvis med hjälp av klottrande medan man lyssnar - kan underlätta förståelse, enligt t ex wsj.com/articles/the-p…
@isakskogstad Däremot är forskningen kring mobiltelefoners påverkan relativt ung, och hur vi som samhälle hanterar dem är väldigt olika i olika situationer. Jag tror på att mångalärare kan hantera det. Mer problematisering, med referenslänkar, här:
