As things are generally bad, for reference a thread of creatures which are considered to belong to the Devil in Scotland. Definitely existing creatures only; Burns' "Address to the Deil" includes such things as Kelpies and Spunkies (akin to Will o the Wisps) as under the deil's control (1/?)

My baby girl (ahem, 10 yr old) has been *away from home* since Wednesday, and I am feeling overwrought and emotional, but when I go to pick her up I need to HOLD IT TOGETHER because she will be *exhausted* as well as overwrought and emotional! Wish me luck 😭

Friends, a petition I've created to go to Parliament for the protection of Trans Healthcare in the UK has just gone live. If you are in the United Kingdom, please sign and share this. If you are not in the United Kingdom, please share it. #Trans #LGBTQ #UK petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Been staying in Glasgow for a few days, and really enjoyed this view from our bedroom window. Love a good chimney.

I asked the man in the music shop if I could see their littlest oboe and he said “maybe tomorrow”.

I would like people who talk about death "with dignity" to examine how appallingly ableist the notion of "dignity" often is; how often it means the ability to eat and use the toilet unaided; how rarely it means anything other than ways of being that are normal for some disabled people.

Wow. Imagine if UK politicians would do this: to throw back in the faces of the anti-trans crowd how gross and weird and dangerous it is. And the second video with the quote below— telling people they’re being played and this is all disingenuous crap. This shouldn’t be “wow” but right now, it is 👏

If you are fortunate to purchase something in Typewronger Books in Edinburgh, they make you an origami animal of your choice while you wait. Slowing down the purchasing process made me realise how I needed to relax, and I had a good conversation with the person serving. Here’s a little dragon 💙📚
