Have you heard of the Jam card. It is available as a card or an app.

JAM stands for just a minute. It's a scheme that aims to help raise awareness with all kinds of service providers that some of us need a little more time during various transactions.

A great resource for autistic folks, those with learning disabilities or anyone with a hidden disability who would like a discrete way to ask for a little more time.

Happy OT Week to all the occupational therapists out there and those who find OT helpful #OTWeek2023 #OccupationalTherapy

Happy Mooncake festival (for last Friday). We caught up with family last night ❤️🥮 #mooncakes #brisbane

How do you make #data #visualizations #accessible to the #blind and visually impaired? JooYoung Seo (who is himself blind) is developing a tool for this purpose, using a mix of sound and #Braille. He'll soon make it #OpenSource.

A little more nearly Spring #Brisbane #garden #flowers

We are just starting to get a little peek of Spring being around the corner #Brisbane #garden

this is your regularly scheduled reminder

My new social media app is called Grouse. You can only post criticism of the 3,000 other new social media apps.

Posts are called “Gripes.” No likes or reposts—just one button to “Commiserate.” If a Gripe receives enough Commiseration it’s elevated by the algorithm into a “Complaint.”

Also there’s an academic version called “Faculty Meeting.”

@deepmud I wouldn’t know it either - but my son is into fruit plants!

@deepmud this is it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dillenia_philippinensis

My son had a lot of fun on the trip finding and trying rare fruit. This one originally from the Phillipines tastes like green apple #Fruit #australia #gardening

@garyloc this was Hervey Bay

Such a gentle pretty sunset yesterday. We have made it home from our road trip- so will have fewer beautiful scenes to share but more of the dog ❤️ #beach #sunset #queensland

When you don’t feel confident that there will be any birds to be spotted and there is this absolute cloud of magpie geese #birds #australia #wildlife #AllTheDotsAreBirdsAndMostWereHonking

Today I finally got to see brolgas. I have somehow managed to never see them despite visiting all the likely places - but got to see (and hear 😬 ) them today! #wildlife #birds #Australia

Road trip views - such a beautiful place #Queensland #landscape #FromTheCarWindow

I don’t think I will ever be not excited by a dinosaur bird encounter #Australia #birds #cassowary
