Better things happen when we connect the dots. Feeling tired and exhilarated after another brilliant #UKCharityCamp Here's the one photo we managed to get of the Poteris Team today - we were too busy having great conversations and sharing ideas to take more 🫣

I have been trying to pretend that the influx of flags flying in my local area is in support of the people of Gaza (St George also being the patron saint of Palestine), but alas, I can't ignore the catalyst being based in racism and a hatred (that I will never understand) of people seeking refuge.

A key thing worth knowing about the AI super intelligence claims is that scientists who study cognition are clear we don’t even have a model of human intelligence, so how can you look at an AI and say it’s the same or better? We confuse lots of metaphors for cognition with knowing how it happens.

When your MO is to be helpful and useful, but you also run an agency...how do you make sure you come across as wanting to help and be supportive, rather than wanting to book billable time? #AgenciesForGood #TechForGood

Why hasn't Microsoft added an auto number system for images in a thesis? Helping my partner to work his way through at 2 am with a toddler to look after tomorrow is just a bit much. Also, why is the table of contents so crappy looking?

Recently I've had the privilege to start working with an organisation that is truly aiming to be equitable in it's employment strategies and the way it delivers for the sector. I need to start talking more about what it is we do, and our ambitions. Where's the best place to share these days?

Trans and non-binary rights do not diminish or negate women's rights. Attacking trans and non-binary individuals does. It creates an atmosphere, as currently seen, where if you don't fit into a neat little box you can be discriminated against.

When the government talk about 'more people getting support to move into work', they often mean requiring people to meet with work coaches. But a focus on ticking boxes means work coaches often aren't providing meaningful support to help people move into/progress in work. Great report
"95% of the job of the [work coach] interview was looking for controls to see if I was going to be sanctioned and about 5% was having a discussion about helping you to find a job. So I thought that the work coach's job should be to coach me towards the job market and look at my CV and help me to find things to look for. And she was leaving me to sink or swim to find jobs for myself" - UC Claimant

This year, I have attempted to self refer into a lot of post natal support, but after having to deal with awful bots instead of a quick and sinple form I've struggled instead of using the service. Can we please make bots better or just stop using them?

This month, I shifted from a "have boob, will travel mamma" to a "have to pack everything under the sun, cause weaning and now on bottle 🙈." How do people do this? Especially when mamma has ADHD and is currently not medicated?

Cass Review found no evidence about harm (according to their own criteria of sufficient evidence, a randomised trial). That’s very different from finding evidence OF harm. There is considerable evidence from longitudinal work and clinical and patient testimony of benefit and need. The ban is wrong.

I hate the vitriol towards immigrants in the HoC. Too few politicians are prepared to stand up for their amazing contributions to our society or to defend those fleeing asylum. It’s utterly depressing.

With the high of finding out we were expecting, no. But, then, we had a difficult journey. There are days when I feel I really need it, but I have mostly been managing through strategies I developed over years of managing spates of burn out.
