artist, educator, digital nomad trying to make sense of “all this”
enjoying a cuppa after having a good old tidy up of my office. Despite trying to be paper free whenever I can there was quite a lot of paper for recycling and shredding. . . but it was good to do it. Now if only I could clear my brain out as easily . . .

lots on @wonkhe.bsky.social about AI . . . including this about leadership. Do wonder why we can't just stick to a "people first" mantra, instead of "AI first" . .
