Looking back; thinking forward: Young people don’t experience AI as neutral software. Research shows conversational AI is often perceived as relational, not transactional - trust forms quickly when systems feel human. https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.15117

Understanding why young people turn to AI matters as much as regulation. NHS and HCPs warn against unregulated AI being used as therapy especially without safeguards. BACP: https://www.bacp.co.uk/news/news-from-bacp/2025/therapists-warn-of-dangers-as-children-turn-to-ai-for-mental-health-advice/

Looking back: young people already seek help online. Youth Endowment Fund found 1 in 4 UK teens have used AI chatbots for mental health support. This reflects unmet need and not recklessness.

Looking back: digital influence isn’t emerging — it’s embedded. Ofcom shows around half of UK children already use AI tools. AI 🧠 is now part of the wellbeing context schools operate within whether we plan for it or not.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

For schools, the real question isn’t “Are young people using AI?” It’s “How do digital systems make young people feel, behave and learn?” That’s where wellbeing, behaviour and education meet and where this conversation needs to stay.

#BlueMonday isn’t evidence-based (it came from a 2005 marketing campaign). But winter mood dips are real: less daylight disrupts circadian rhythms, routine loss increases cognitive load, and stress hormones rise all amplified for AuDHD brains. My big plus vs '25? Chip 🐾 Regulation beats labels 💙

This time of year is hell for many of us. Nothing works, all the consistency and routine dissapears. We are still expected to be perfect. Nope. Be kind to eachother and especially think of those with ASD and ADHD.

Not an ad. Just me sharing what works: I take lactoferrin daily because research shows it binds iron, limits pathogens, and supports immunity. Studies link it to antiviral action vs flu & more. Always check with your GP first. loox.io/z/6zQKe_GUTS... #ImmuneSupport #Lactoferrin #Flu #Influenza

A frosty reception at the train station this morning. Quite literally. Brrr 🥶. P.s. Defrosted my head and picked up Chippies icicle this morning (Aka. Dog 💩).

This is the cute Chip with her warm and weather proof Storm Burt clobber on.

Visited the 9th Fort, Kaunas last month. An unforgettable reminder: when division takes hold, humanity can fracture in terrible ways. Today we honour the lost, acknowledge the grief, and recommit ourselves to unity and compassion. We are strongest when together. Lest we forget. #RemembranceDay

A new week ahead of data and human-in-the-loop automation. Real control isn’t about machines — it’s about clarity, focus, and purpose. AI, attention, and accountability — who’s really in control? #AI #DataScience #Leadership www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-att...

My queen the Chip of latte hall. Love you my dearest xx

So sad to hear about Diane Keaton what an amazing talent. Now entertaining for eternity xx

Train everything Question everything And find the joy in everything along the way

When your mental health is not in the right state, give yourself a break. Don't feel guilty for things you can't do. Your mental health matters.

Almost home. Kaunas a treasure - calm, kind, layered in stories. The food, the warmth, the pause. Travel feels different post-diagnosis — slower, more sensory, more grateful. Sudie (soo-dee-eh), Kuanai (koo-ah-nai), ir ačiū (eer ah-choo) x #AuDHD #Lithuania #Kaunas #Lietuva

Exploring Kaunas with my friend Caroline — calm, kind, sensory peace. Found The Tooth of the Beast of Kaunas, said to bring luck to those who share it. Maybe calm is luck after all. 🦷✨ #Kaunas #Neurodiversity

Through security in record time at Stansted 🌻 Staff spotted my sunflower lanyard & guided me straight to the front. No fuss, just quiet kindness. Grateful for these unexpected moments of empathy...Thank you! @stnairport.bsky.social

Dearest Lief, you will be missed and always have a place in my heart. You have been a loyal and loving friend to Claire and to me for so many years. You can now rest in kitty heaven for eternity. God bless sweetie xx Love Claire and Anthony

Want to 2x-3x your CTR? Play with your buttons' copy. >> Instead of "Shop now" use "I want it!" >> Instead of "Get gift" use "Grab the Goods" >> Instead of "Learn more" use "I'm interested, show me more!" Make it impossible not to click - tap through. Incremental Optimisation works.

I don't think people understand how much strength it takes to pull yourself away from an anxiety attack,panic attack or even severe depression. So if you've done that today ...this week even or any other day ...I'm proud of you ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 #Mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters

It was my birthday. I loved spending time with family. My little dog Chip sure did enjoy it. She is now a truck driver too! #PoochPower

Jurassic Park wasn’t fiction it was a diagnostic tool. My autistic brain thrived on chaos theory, control systems, and raptors. Crichton wrote tech ethics before tech had ethics. Just reread Prey (voiced by Wilson from House) and yep… still deliciously obsessed. open.spotify.com/show/2tAL34p...
