I was literally thinking the same thing but I didn’t wanna say it out loud. He won’t win in 2028 anyway.

My hot take is Andrew has been stripped of his Royal titles because he will be arrested. Media wise, it wouldn’t look good on the Royals for him to be arrested with his titles.

Headshot of Hayaatun Sillem with the quote: The Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper makes a fair assessment of the significant challenges facing Higher Education, and builds on the welcome recognition in the Industrial Strategy of the importance of closing the perilous engineering skills gap in the UK. The Academy will shortly be launching a major new initiative – the Skills Centre – to provide a focal point for multi-sector collaboration at scale to address this gap. We look forward to working with Skills England, government and partners across the profession to take this initiative forward.

Absolutely this. When I have meltdowns, I’m being “too much” or “disrespectful”. It’s a disability. It’s exhausting being held to neurotypical standards and expectations.

We glamourise being a solo founder in this AI age but being a solo founder is one of the toughest journeys I’ve been on. You really have to have the mindset for this & it’s not for everyone especially as a neurodivergent person.

We’ve gone from “get into tech” to “get into AI” to “become an entrepreneur” to “we don’t even want to work”.

What a time we’re living in.

Yeah, in the UK, you pay for that yourself unless you can find a copy of the book in the library. You would think paying the tuition fees would cover all of that.

a woman says it 's time to make some decisions up here ALT: a woman says it 's time to make some decisions up here

Deciding between a Masters in Computer Science with AI and a Masters in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.

There’s pros and cons for both but a module in AI for Health, AI Ethics and Natural Language Processing sounds like a bit of me! 😍

The dismantling is so concerning. In the long run, I’m holding onto hope that things will work out. I went and finished my Bachelors this year & I start my Masters soon.
The way I look at it, I’m part of too many minority groups to not get one but I understand the barriers making it impossible. 😔

This might be a hot take but not bothering to get a degree or finish it is not an option if you are Black, a person of colour, part of the LGBTQIA+ community, disabled, first generation or a woman.

I don’t think we should sleep on not getting an education if we’re able to financially.

If you come to me and tell me paracetamol or Tylenol gave me autism, I respectfully clap in your face. You look dumb!

Can I just say that many Black women who have been getting into entrepreneurship isn’t just because they want to, some have HAD to.

As a Black woman who entered entrepreneurship, my thought process was if tech is keeping me out with 5 years of experience, I might as well do my own shxt.

It really is. It’s not talked about enough. The guilt is hard to overcome. We’ll get there. Sorry you had one of those weeks. 🫂

Fighting off the autistic guilt when your brain won’t let you do anything so you have to rest because your body needs it.
Being an AuDHD founder is tough. I’m glad I’m resting but the guilt is eating me up! 😮‍💨

Avoiding Crisis Moments: This Developer Created an AI App to Predict Sensory Overload I spoke with Jennifer Opal, who is building ssensimm, an AI-powered app that aims to help neurodivergent people.

ssensimm is in @cnet.com ! 🧠

As a late diagnosed AuDHD DevOps Engineer, I’m building the sensory overload support app I’ve always wished for.

Research is being done but we need solutions now so I’m creating tech for good as a solo founder with an amazing community. 🥰
