I bought a Yamaha keyboard for my grandkids, noodled about for a bit, was surprised how much I have retained having not read music for 40 years, and bought myself a slightly larger one.

Learning a new instrument has been a nice antidote for that. It’s simple and pure and all about the journey, not the destination.
I think that’ll be my New Year’s resolution. To focus on enjoying the process, even as the world shifts away from that focus.

We are getting to the season of end-of-year reflections, so it’s time to post my annual reminder.
If you helped someone this year or let someone else help you, then you’ve had a good year.
That’s enough.

This brilliant. I've experimented with making similar simulators before, but this from Giving What We Can is so well executed and needed right now... some perspective, and just how lucky we (some of us) are. #charity #wealth #redistribution #fairness #equity #equality

We talk about talking things through a lot. In my professional world, the word "collaboration" comes up a lot. It's one of the principles of my company. But it's *really* hard.

After a break of 40 years I've recently started reading academic writing again.
It's deliberately exclusionary and needs to change.
Making shit "sound clever" is absolute nonsense.

My experience was that my mum told her optician about me seeing things floating in my eyes, and they both laughed at me...
30+ years later it took 4 opticians to find out I have diplopia because none of them bothered to ask me appropriate questions...
Not sure what the moral of the story is...

Was just remembering when I was little and I’d wake up in the back seat of the car, I could really see the floaters in my vision, and I‘d lay there with my eyes unfocused watching them slide around. I thought they were friendly spirits, familiar & comforting & showing through from somewhere else

I'm excited to see blind SENCOs in schools in the future. (n≈400)
Just thought and think @jackworth.bsky.social you might know...
But do we even track the amount of disabled ITT teachers coming in ? And do they have equal success in applying or qualifying ? Anyone asking this sure it kinda impacts equality there doesn't it ? Anyone know?

Notwithstanding the weird Ai image, I remember I was walking down the stairs at home when I heard the news that John Lennon had been killed. Neither I nor anyone in the family were fans, and yet somehow it affected me deeply.
