  • Used to work in digital design. By pure happenstance the foundational initial team on a major project was all women and we recognised that wasn’t a good balance in terms of external perception but also in terms of getting different perspectives on design approaches.

    We managed to recruit some great blokes, but they were hard to find. So many of the new dudes didn’t work out because it was so obvious how inferior they perceived us women to be. Very few of them had the skills to warrant any level of arrogance, let alone full blown superiority complex.

    It was disappointing.



  • Wounds heal poorly for smokers. People who smoke after getting a tooth extraction can get dry socket.

    I know someone who ate some rancid food, and was subsequently very, very unwell because they literally couldn’t taste or smell that it was off.

    It affects your cardiovascular health so good luck outrunning danger.

    Everything is worse if you smoke, in real time and in terms of what it does to your body’s ability to heal or respond to trauma.

    Don’t smoke. And if you do, try and quit.
