I'm at FOSSY this week! speaking on Sunday August 9th at 3.30pm in MCLD 2002 about designing attestations UI & how different developer users understand essential package security from the UI clues that package registry pages have for packages! 2026.fossy.ca/schedule/pre... #oss #fossy #opensource
What people think GMing is: Improv, planning, prep, building classes, monster stats, math etc. What it really is: drawing bad shark to show where on shark thing characters need to get is
I'm consistently impressed and relieved by the tools and technologies that can support our freedoms but I’m also immensely nervous and scared every. single. day. that people want to harm us and other they are pushed to hate.
I had a complex weekend since on Friday evening i gave a workshop about 'Safety and Security Online as a Trans person' alongside some amazingly skilled and knowledgeable collaborators.
Baby's first masc drag experience dressing up as Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary for a Lesbian Princesses from space party over the weekend. The pro drag host said my drag beard was very good!!!! new skill unlocked and gender euphoria also unlocked.
Excited to speak in Manchester today at a convening about creativity and AI with a focus on OSS. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/creativity... organised and hosted by www.creative.manchester.ac.uk But nervous to speak on my design practitioner perspective on the relationship between AI + OSS + Creativity!
'After the Internet: Digital networks between. Capital and the common' was a good read with two specific essays that really captured me.
Hey folks! Please pass this training on to those in the UK South West you think will find it useful. bristolpride.co.uk/events/digit...
I hope that we can bring this discussion to the rescheduled Rightscon and other conferences, events and platforms too. We care immensely about how Human Rights Centered Design is supported and evolves and we know many of you reading this do as well 💖
“I’m really nerdy about digital sovereignty as a topic right now. This was raised at penpot festival in 2025 and it’s a huge topic...largely about what companies own and do what with our data.” #OSS #opensource #penpot #ossdesign #opensourcedesign
When I have a rough day, I look at quotes from Volition from Disco Elysium and quotes from Citizen Sleeper. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENSA... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG9W...

FOSS Backstage 2026 was a blast! here's a photo dump before I do a write up for the open source design articles webpage of some of my favourite moments! The photographer for the event is so amazing!

An image that sums up the journey of this particular week doing design work in OSS.
I've been thinking about how I prune and weed my 'garden' lately. Garden in the hypothetical and existential terms. In Permaculture, there are plants and crops that support each others survival and growth when you plant them together.
Myself and iamkingsleey.framer.website lead a session at chaoss.community/chaosscon-20... We wanted to understand how the health of OSS and their communities are affected by design, usability and designers invovlement. #oss #ossdesign #opensourcedesign #designinoss #design #chaoss
