📣 Service designers of Brighton & beyond

Our Service Design Breakfast Club is back 2 July. You know the drill- there's no strict agenda beyond showing up, eating pastries and talking shop. Freelancers, in-house folks, agency lifers, and the curious are all equally welcome.

It's completely free, we just like to know in advance if you're planning on joining 👉 https://ti.to/clearleft/service-design-breakfast-july-2026

This is utterly fascinating and a thing of absolute typographic beauty: https://storiedcolors.com

In countries like Australia, public events open by acknowledging the indigenous peoples of the land.

Similarly, a law should be passed so that anyone espousing the virtues of AI should begin by acknowledging the copyrighted material stolen and the wilful damage to the environment (and preferably the now jobless too).

@sil yay congratulations!
@sil thanks Stu. Sounds like we were of the same mind – you’ve made sense of my actions

It was my Dad’s funeral yesterday. I don’t know why, but I felt the need to post the eulogy I gave. Maybe I thought he deserved some kind of public recognition – he was a lovely person and a great friend to many.

It was Dad’s funeral yesterday. I delivered a eulogy, somehow keeping it together. I wanted to recognise Dad here, so this is the speech I gave, remembering him as a wonderful father to my brother and me.

@benjaminparry shows Bexhill at its best.
