Hey everybody! My birthday is later this month and the ONLY thing I want is to raise some money for our local shelter, the Humane Society of Chittenden County. They do so much for our community. Please consider donating if you can! 🥰 givebutter.com/catsofyore

🚨 It was meant to be the flagship project at the heart of Edinburgh’s new waterfront culture quarter. But after a decade of planning & £9m of public money being spent, a new “world class” National Galleries attraction is in doubt over a lack of funding. 🚨 www.heraldscotland.com/news/2520387...

If you have money to put nuclear weapons on planes to bomb the shit out of people- then you have money to feed the poor, the sick, the bairns and the disabled. Paging the Westminster government...

Well Starmer can fuck off. Every part of society? The UK has hobbled the young, left the elderly out to dry, and is rolling back rights and protections for the LGBTQ+ community. "Be ready to fight for us!" Erm... no. You want actual patriots, not nationalist wingnuts? Give us a country to love.

"In modern times a noble family would have turned that into a boot room, or a wine store, or somewhere to keep their shotguns and flat-caps for whenever they indulged in traditional wealthy rural pastime of finding something cute and blowing the merry fuck out of it." Taste of the WIP #amwriting

Anyone in need of some ancient art to brighten up your day? In need of some _cute_ ancient art? How about this marvel from (probably) the first century CE Rome, currently held in the Getty museum, of a bronze mouse nibbling away!

The Tufty Club needs to be brought back. Not because of nostalgia but because half the population seems to think "step into the road, then look to see if anything's coming" is a viable road crossing strategy.

Insane this isn’t a bigger global story. Climate change is causing glacier collapse in the Alps. The Swiss town of Blatten was destroyed yesterday. The few buildings that survived the 3.5 million cubic metres of landslide are now slowly drowning as the collapsed mountain damns the river. (🎥 AFP)

🚨BREAKING The Scottish Government has announced it's cancelling Scotland's new National Park in Galloway. This is devastating news for the local community and nature, slamming the door on the new investment and powers it would have brought. A betrayal of people and planet.

"Edinburgh, washed in blues & greys, looks moody & magnificent. The cast spark off each other as if they’ve worked together for most of their careers....Best of all, the writers have gone their own, defiantly Scottish, way with the material." The Herald's verdict on #DeptQ - out now on Netflix.

The Scottish Parliament recently issued a rule change banning trans people from using the facilities they've been using for 20 years. If this is to an institution for everyone and a positive example for the country, it must return to the fully inclusive practices that served us well for so long.

OK, fellow rail nerds! Tell me your favourite "this town will be reconnected to the rail network" campaigns. I can name half a dozen new or reopened stations in Devon, and the Portishead and Okehampton lines, but what's happening further upcountry? I know about Kings Heath.
