A screenshot of a Bluesky feed showing a post from Sky News about a drought declared in Wales, followed by a post about the European Union funding 7 AI gigafactories across Europe, worth 10 billion Euros.

Flyer showing a head and shoulders image of Kelly Birtwell (white woman with long brown-ish hair in a bright flowery dress. Kelly has a tentative smile- not very keen on being photographed!) and Jessica Andexer (white woman with dark hair tied up, wearing a grey top. Jessica is smiling). Kelly and Jessica will lead the mindfulness group that the flyer is about. The text on the flyer says the following:

“Dance is what I am. It's how I inhabit my body, and best meet the world; dancing is my main form of stim, and helps me live, rather than barely exist, in the world.” – autistic participant in the Ada study. We’re sharing results & short films on 26 March, 7pm UK time, registration link below. 🧵

Tintin cartoon showing the Captain slumped over a bar saying "What a year, huh?" Tintin replies "Captain it's January 6". Tintin's dog Snowy is up on the bar sneaking a drink of the Captain's beer.
