❄️ ☃️ 🧊

No greater day than one of museums, art & coffee 🖼️ ☕️

Just a woman and her beloved books she cannot bring 🥺 📚 (thank you for all the knowledge 🫶🏻)

A wonderful Christmas mixer with the #Beijing Media Professionals Network Loved hearing stories from #creatives later in life and reinvention: engineers turned actors, those who've had it all, lost it all & somehow rebuilt Proof there’s no single path to a fulfilling creative life or #vocation!

They say when life gives you lemons… you make lemonade🍋 So when US policy cancelled my uni classes overnight, I somehow ended up teaching #film workshops, of all things 🎬 Watching #StarWars for the first time with students was surprisingly magical (even if they did call Darth Vader 'the Robot Man')

Two days. Countless conversations Great to speak at the Responsible #AI Summit As part of my work with #PsyberVision, I explored how culture, clicks & code collide. We looked at viral AI trends, biometric data, surveillance capitalism & why 'just a trend' is rarely just that! #ResponsibleAISummit

~ ❄️ festive season ⛄️ ~ Received the cutest handmade gift from a student today, because she thought I might be missing Christmas season in the 🇬🇧 So talented and thoughtful, 谢谢 🫶🏻

All this time in China and my calligraphy still looks… distinctly left-handed!

Elle, l’artiste 👩🏻‍🎨 Despite it being -5°C, great fun to be invited to the The River Workers’ Spring Gala to attempt a Beijing opera mask 🇨🇳 🎭

올해도 김장과 함께하는 따뜻한 겨울 시작!🌶️🥬☃️ Such a joy to be invited to a #김장 event, a cultural tradition where we come together to prepare #kimchi and welcome the winter season As the only non-Korean attendee, it was also great fun to practice my #Korean! 🇰🇷

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🎇🍁🇺🇸 The end of an era of University of Arizona College of Technology at Hebei University of Technology 🫶🏻 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 🇰🇷 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 represented

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends & colleagues ~ grateful for all the positivity you bring! 🦃 🍁 🎇

My most meaningful moment of 2025 ~ handmaking a #Medusa costume ~ researching classical #chitons, crafting careful details & recreating childhood #myth In awe that #Darkly #Art #Magazine, a French #avant-garde #couture mag, featured the photos & even chose one for the cover 1/3

People assume I love hustle culture I don’t I worry when side hustles become essential to survival, signalling a society slipping & social contract cracking, reminding me of Melville’s #Bartleby Well… I’d prefer not to! Thanks TechRound for including my thoughts: techround.co.uk/startups/par...

Honoured to join @tsinghuauniversity.bsky.social, University of Sussex #SPRU & @soifutures.bsky.social for the International Science & #Tech #Policy Roundtable Great to discuss #tech-policy developments, reconnect with familiar faces, meet new colleagues & explore future UK-China collaboration 🇬🇧🇨🇳

Thank you Baidu for hosting me at #BaiduWorld in Beijing! AI everywhere from digital avatars & AI agents to autonomous vehicles & smart mirrors. China’s approach is highly ambitious, hands-on, and fast-moving 1/5 #AIinnovation #Baidu

Terrifying ❌ Petrifying ✔️ (Fun fact: I made this costume!) #Medusa

Once they called me a monster. Now they call me a myth 🐍 Happy belated Halloween! 🎃 #Medusa

You shall not gaze upon me and live 🐍 #Medusa

New horizons 🌄🧘🏻‍♀️🪷

Beyond tech, #Beijing is looking to transform into a ‘garden city’ The duality is charming. Ancient gardens and traditional architecture sit alongside gleaming high-rises, AI-assisted services, and smart city infrastructure You can particularly feel this contrast strolling through Ritan Park

Beijing’s innovation isn’t loud, it’s lived 🤖 Delighted to share my thoughts with the BBC on how #AI, culture, and convenience coexist to shape everyday life in the world’s smartest cities www.bbc.com/travel/artic... #Beijing

Spooky season stories 📚👻 🎃

🌙 但愿人长久，千里共婵娟 Happy mid-autumn festival! 🇨🇳

AI Polaroids putting you next to a younger self are exploding, 5B+ made in Sep Fun? Sure. But each upload is a face, an identity, a dataset. Your nostalgia trains models that could do more than #AI art. Consider: Am I okay with it being used beyond these images?? ⚠️ #dataprivacy #digitalIdentity

Survived another semester of law school ~casebooks closed, Chianti calling ⚖️🍷🇮🇹

年年有今日，岁岁有长寿面 🍜🎂 In China, eating 长寿面 (longevity noodles) symbolises a long life. The longer the noodle, the longer your life! Traditionally, you eat them uncut, to keep life long and unbroken 🥢 我一定要活到一百岁! I shall surely live to 💯 now 🎉

Sushi and sake birthday night ~ come join in spirit! 🍣 🍶 🎈 Very thankful for the year that’s been and the year that’s still to come 💫

A daily dose of wabi-sabi ~ fleeting, quiet, enough 🍃

The sky above the port was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel ☔️ 📺

Why is #Molloy instantly more readable if you imagine it as a #PeepShow post-midlife-crisis, recently sectioned Mark Corrigan narrating?? David Mitchell, please do the world a favour and read a passage out loud 😭😂

Just a woman and her Hokusai woodblock art coming through as hand luggage because they’re too precious to entrust in a suitcase 🥹🇯🇵

Became the irl 💃🏻 emoji

Came for the magic and mouse ears, left with a crown of bones and a thirst for the high seas ☠️🌹🏴‍☠️

Chianti. ’Nduja pasta. End of semester law assignments: done. What more could you ask for? 🍷📚🇮🇹
