Lovely humans, I'm training to run a half-marathon for @scotrefugeecouncil.bsky.social in May! I only started running last year so this is a big challenge for me - but I know the challenge for refugees to rebuild their lives is even greater. All donations/shares would be HUGELY appreciated!! ❤️❤️❤️

The first episode of “An t-Eilean” was excellent and this is going to be a dark delicious slice of twisty Tartan Noir. I could see when I talked to Sorcha Groundsell that she was excited about the series. She’s right to be! It’s on the BBC iPlayer!

Support for independence has boomed since Starmer came to power. The union is now officially living on borrowed time. The Yes movement needs to get its act together right away so it’s ready to seize the moment My column in @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Worth remembering that for some people, Christmas is absolutely NOT, ‘The most wonderful time of the year’. Please repost this, as there are so many who are struggling while others celebrate.

Always find it quite strange - and I do know a few of them - how anyone over, say 18, (outside of playful performative nonsense) can genuinely hate someone who supports a different football team.

I asked SoS 25 years ago about doing an in-depth investigation into everything surrounding an Old Firm game: the increase in domestic violence, the trouble on public transport, pressure on A&E departments and other issues. It was rejected. But these matches are still tarnishing Scotland today!

And now no more for lack of time. What an ending (Mantel’s and Kosminsky’s which did hers justice, I think, though it would have been hard to match those last ten lines).

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

Nice. It would be another nail in the coffin of the idea that if you’re famous for one thing, you’re magically good at everything. Writing a book is fucking hard. People who can do it well enough to be hired for the job need to be recognised as skilled, specialised labour.

If you are catastrophically online and have an interest in tech, the current digital landscape is both fascinating and terrifying. For everyone else, it’s just terrifying. If it's not, you need to start paying attention. Find out why in The National today👇 www.thenational.scot/politics/247...

Happy 1st of December. Today, a 🧵 of Scottish women worthy of statues. Statues memorialise in a specific way. They honour achievement. First, Jennie Lee, MP and founder of the Open University. The work she did as Arts Minister was transformative. Also = Mrs Aneurin Bevan. /1

In one of those random coincidences the universe sometimes serves up, having been unable to make Janey’s Edinburgh send-off, I found myself behind her hearse all the way back west. ‘You better no crash intae the back as me’ I could hear her say. An honour to chum you home, pal. See you tomorrow 😢

Why don’t councillors realise why libraries are so important? I’m in one in Aberdeen at the moment. It’s warm - while it’s freezing outside - it’s busy, has lots of interesting new books available, a selection of newspapers, and it’s a community. Which really matters! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
