For once the Robin that lives in my front garden 🌱 stayed still long enough for me to take a picture.

Generative AI is losing signal. Critical thinking is surging. Market analysis. Data literacy. The tools are table stakes now. The teams winning are the ones who would have won without AI. They just move faster. Skills don't expire. Buzzwords do.

If you feel too overloaded to form an opinion lately, you’re not broken. Chronic cognitive overload harms judgment and can even lead to ethical drift. We share simple resilience anchors & safer ways to speak up. What helps you reset? Check out the #AXSChat podcast www.buzzsprout.com/719037/episo...

Yesterday was unusually quiet at RHS Wisley gardens I don’t think there has ever been a time when I was the only person around at the Oudolf Landscape. 🌱#gardening

Quality and standards are not a one-time thing. It's implementation, but also upkeep and updates. Document your choices so others can follow them. For context, the picture features tactile paving. These patterns help people navigate by touch. Blind people with canes can benefit from them. It works

The light this morning was lovely and lit up the petals on the irises in the garden. 🌱 #gardening

🏖️ BEACH READING ALERT! I'd like to share "Electroboy" with you! It's my memoir about my battle with bipolar disorder which is being made into a film with Timothee Chalamet! I have both h/c and p/b copies which I'll inscribe to you! The cost is $30 for a h/c & $20 for a p/b - just send me a DM!

The sun was out this morning so before I started a day in front of a computer screen, I took the time to wander around my garden and take pictures of the flowers that are just emerging. Right now Irises are looking spectacular. 🌱 #Gardening

This Orontium aquaticum or floating arum stopped me in my tracks it looked like an alien life form that had landed. Normally the plant is semi submerged in water so the spiky stalks serve to keep the business end of the flowers above the surface.

These flowers on the pittosporum bush in my back garden are hardly visible from a distance. That’s one of the delightful things about #macro photography, you get to see hidden beauty. 🌱 #gardening

The first of the peonies are out and they are magnificent. 🌱

Another walk around RHS Wisley gardens today. The sun was warm and the plants were all glowing in the afternoon light. 🌱

AI is already assistive tech: AAC powered by large language models, smart homes that reduce effort, and reminders that act like working memory. But what happens when policy changes the tools people rely on? What should regulators get right? Check out the latest #AXSChat vimeo.com/1185269960?f...

The leaves are fully out on the acers in my back garden and it looks really inviting. What the photo doesn’t show is the biting cold northerly wind. The blue sky and bright sunlight is very welcome all the same. 🌱 #Gardening #Spring

The morning light made it nice to take close ups of the flowers on some of my acers in the garden today. #gardenIng 🌱

It was a lovely day to spend time in the garden and I always like to take pictures of the things I see when I’m on my knees amidst the plants like this bright yellow spider .🌱 #gardening

The Rhododendrons are really coming into their own at RHS Wisley garden. 🌱#Gardening

This camellia flower really stood out when I was walking around RHS Wisley garden the other day. 🌱 #gardening

I love it when the leaves start showing on the acers in my garden. #Gardening

When the sun does come out it’s great to take a moment and enjoy the autumn colours in the garden.

Really interesting conversation with @ginabhawalkar.bsky.social about the recent Wave report on #Accessibility platforms www.buzzsprout.com/719037/episo...

Can AI truly solve human loneliness? As tech rushes forward, we're seeing both promising innovations & concerning consequences. The real question isn't whether AI can replace human connection, but how we preserve what makes us human in an AI-powered world.#AIEthics www.buzzsprout.com/719037/episo...
