The Apple TV+ app for Android is the worst streaming app I've ever used. Shockingly poor piece of software that prevents me from watching the content I've paid for. All the hype around the return of #Foundation and I can't even watch it!

Thanks to the @advancehe.bsky.social team for the opportunity to speak at the Mental Health in Higher Education conference yesterday.
I failed to take any photos so here's a peek at my slides, featuring a very flattering photo of me playing the original Zelda circa 1990.
