Thanks for doing this, we have more expense just to live day to day than most people and I know this constant fear of cuts and assessments has a huge mental impact too. P.S. On a post about disability using an alt text descriptor would be a good idea for accessibility

Betws Mountain views on Monday, meeting sheep and being careful and quiet to let them come to me and not scare them. Unlike some other people I saw. Be careful around Ewe's at this time of year especially, they may be pregnant.

I can't wait to visit again soon

Latest update on the potential new property. OT suggested sockets in the floor, apparently this isn't possible as floor is thin concrete that easily snaps, plus there isn't much foundation so the property rests on it. They have completed their asbestos check, although haven't told me the results.

He sounds an amazing guy, I think we would have got on great. Thank you, that means a lot. we really must try to meet up in the new year X

Sending love and hugs, I wish I'd known him x

Some of the individuals we support can't get to our Suicide Crisis Centre. So we will be going out to see them in their homes and in many other locations. We will be here throughout the coming days.

Accessible Housing with Nikki Fox - Daniel Baker's Blog This week I spoke about accessible housing with Nikki Fox on BBC Breakfast. This was my first TV interview.

Talking with Nikki Fox about the lack of accessible housing www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... at around 19 minutes (available for 24 hours)

A screenshot of a tweet/x by Nikki Fox - BBC News & Watchdog Presenter @FoxNikkiFox We got to spend some time with this brilliant, smart cookie Daniel @DanielBaker eu. He's got a physics degree, he writes code and he's worked alongside NASA. He's done so much of this from his bedroom because his house isn't accessible. Daniel told me and @MunazaRafiq he's been on the housing waiting list for seven years and it's not been easy. The District Councils' Network @districtcouncil says disabled people are being failed by the planning system with too little accessible housing being built. See our report on @BBCBreakfast tomorrow at 6.15 and 8.30am. Producer: @MunazaRafiq @jbtvnews

A little update (things move fast in news, who knew?)

So I should be on BBC Breakfast, BBC2, at 08:30 tomorrow morning (15th December). Hopefully I did my part ok

All being well my interview with Nikki Fox will be airing this Sunday on BBC Breakfast. It's my first TV interview so hopefully I'll come across ok.

Hi! Good seeing you here :)

would be nice, you know, if they encouraged housing developers to make housing more disabled friendly housing. Maybe some artistic ramps :p #snarkymood #iknowartisimportanttoo

Canada euthanasia now accounts for nearly one in 20 deaths For the first time, the annual report delved into race and ethnic data of those who underwent assisted dying.

Always happy to help out where I can. It's good to be finally over here and away from that other platform. Things seem more positive here so far.

Keep up the great work

I'm doing okay, usual dramas around care, but healthy and keeping busy. How are things with you? Sorry it's been so long, took a break from social media during the pandemic and when I returned X no longer seemed a fun place.

Agree there seems to be lots of bias as LLMs seem to generally be getting data randomly from the internet (such a factually accurate place). I think it can be a useful tool, but for critical systems I have concerns.

@mumbling-muggle.bsky.social welcome aboard

Done x
