Unlucky streak where a few bits of work have fallen through, and some of my regular gigs are on hiatus - so if you know of anything that might fit my skills (writing workshops, teaching in a writing/filmmaking space, organising, hosting and chairing film and queer book-y events) let me know, diva!

My friend Conor made a game where go round all of Islay's distilleries solving puzzles by shifting barrels around. Perfect for the whisky-loving puzzle enthusiast in your life. nnnaaammm.itch.io/islay-quest

Can anyone who was chastising folk for not wanting to vote for this government please tell me what the fuck this is thanks www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

People say the Four Corners has the most chaotic energy in all of Glasgow, but this is a noob opinion. Real ones know the truest distillation of the city's madness lies 150 yards up Union Street, at the bus stop next to the scaffolded building with all the vape shops.

This is why they call him The Welshman

curating your running playlist so the final push times up with Andrew WK's 'Party Hard'? That's livin'

spending less time on here and the bad place, and instead find myself lurking on subreddits about running and marathon training - all fine niche middle aged hobby stuff, but I tell you what, hanging around on reddit for the first time ever really exposes you to a whole new genre of mental posting

Just another example of the casually bizarre contortions of language in any and all reporting on Palestine (I'm sure this headline briefly read simply "the Hampden goal that will be cheered in Palestine" earlier this evening)

[observing the billionaire talking about their plan coming together while sat toting a cigar on the deck of a super yacht] this person is the good guy I think

A nice side effect of David Gray's superb turnaround in his debut season as Hibs manager is when people point to him as bulletproof evidence of why Hearts must absolutely stick with the hapless Neil Critchley, who will surely turn things around any day now. Critchley must stay.

Hearts fans openly pishing on the street, up against a neighbouring family's privet hedge. Next door neighbour tells me she's never seen the like in 65 years of living here. Stay classy Jambos.

morning all! my new album The Vallum is out to preorder today. @krisboyle.bsky.social has made an incredible video for the opening track Pools, excerpted below -- full version at robertdallasgray.bandcamp.com/album/the-va...

People have interpreted this as a call for a boycott, when I actually want a wealth tax so aggressive it'd make Lenin say, "steady on, lad" if Lenin talked like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.

Just read a blog post / patreon review thing alleging Adolescence to be the most pointless use of one-shot that the writer has ever seen, and holy shit I couldn't disagree more

there's absolutely nothing to be said here that hasn't been said a million times better already, but "things which are real must therefore be immutable" is never going to lead anywhere liberatory for anyone

feels like there's no point continuing to talk about transphobia as a wedge issue for the far-right, by now if you can't see that you're just operating on a completely different plane of reality to everyone who can

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

Aberdeen self-sabotaging their top 2 push before it started, or chucking away a 2 goal lead today, Hearts fluffing their lines in the top 6 race, Rangers beating Celtic only to hand the points back immediately next game - whatever happens next in Hibs' season we need to retire the phrase "Hibsed it"

Hibs.

[Craig Levein voice] it's a good laugh isn't it

Rachel Corrie would have been 46 today. Israeli tanks ran over her with a bulldozer. Take some time to read her words explaining why she was willing to risk her life for Palestine - and of the insidious genocide there that long predates 2023. www.zinnedproject.org/materials/ra...
