My Block of the Month returns with some more horrible racism and abuse sent my way. It seems the racists were triggered by the positive and successful launch of the Parliamentary Black Caucus. I won't stop raising awareness about the racism & hate on social media. #ButlerBlocks

In Scottish folklore new mothers are vulnerable to being taken by the fairies to breastfeed fairy babies. They are replaced by a fairy substitute who behaves strangely. Possibly a way of explaining postpartum depression or maternal deaths in childbirth. #FolkloreThursday

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Today is the feast day of St Mungo, also known as Kentigern, the seventh century patron of Glasgow whose miracles are represented on the city's coat of arms. Happy feast day to all Glaswegians wherever you are.
