Racism always does harm. It doesn't matter what the intention was.
Like all oppression, it doesn't require intent. People often aren't conscious of their racism.
But it's there. And becoming aware of it is the first step.

Anti-facist protests are not “a waste” because the facists didn’t show up.
You’re not protesting for the facists. You’re protesting for the people who are immigrants, refugees, Muslim, Asian, Black, brown, queer.

I'm not saying @jk_rowling is a male. I'm just saying we have zero proof that she's not a male. And until we see her chromosomes, can she be trusted in women's spaces?

What can we learn from the #ImaneKhelif case?
1. The gender binary is inherently unstable.
2. Human bodies are extremely diverse.
3. Black/brown athletes face immense racism.
4. Transphobia has reached absurd heights.
5. Many hearts will bleed for a crying white woman.
Some groups of people benefit more from government digital services than others.
Some people are harmed.

3. Prioritise and fund work on equity and justice
4. Talk about equity and justice whenever we can
5. Find, uplift and fund people already working on these issues
6. Hire diverse teams
I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
We'll look at:
- How is service design different from other roles?
- What are the tools and methods of service design?
- How can I take a service design approach to my own work?
- How can we think about designing services that are equitable and just?
... and much more
