Intelligence depends on more than cognitive horsepower. It requires cognitive flexibility. The faster the world evolves, the greater the cost of rigidity. Stubbornness is a path to getting trapped in the past. The future belongs to those with the courage to change their minds.

Weekend pace: Started with a chocolate-dusted cappuccino, picked up some sunflowers to brighten my home, & blended a little sunshine - orange, grapefruit, mint + ice. Simple pleasures. Sometimes the small things do the heavy lifting. #WeekendRituals #SlowJoy #EverydayWellbeing

❗️ The changes the UK government has announced will help protect some disabled people. BUT we need to make sure support is there for disabled people who will need it in the future. Being disabled isn’t a choice. Everyone should be supported when they need it.

Powerful piece. We see the hardship described here every day. There’s good work happening - but too much is still reactive. We need a bold, fair shift to prevention. Will the 10-year plan finally make good on that promise? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

“Whether you acquire disability at birth, five years ago or tomorrow, it should be the same for everyone.” Labour MP Alex Sobel says any disparities in how welfare claims are reviewed would make him “very uncomfortable”. #Newsnight

Arrived in Serandë on the Albanian Riviera. Beautiful setting and a lively start - dancing on a pirate ship last night. 🏴‍☠️ Planning visits to the Blue Eye and Butrint National Park over the next few days. Plenty to see and take in. 🇦🇱

Arrived in Vlorë by bus after a stunning ride along the coast - the gateway to the Albanian Riviera doesn’t disappoint. Slowing things right down here: fresh seafood, sea air, and a bit of quiet people-watching. A perfect pause from the always - on world. Next stop: Sarandë. 🇦🇱
