Honoured to be on this list and in such brilliant company ❤️

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

The Scottish have won the AI Wars.

This is the game right here. This is reason for why everything is the way it is. Or as Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote way back in 1821: "The rich have become richer, and the poor have become poorer; and the vessel of the State is driven between the Scylla and Charybdis of anarchy and despotism."

I’m never the most articulate but it was lovely to talk to brilliant Jamie @justgetarealjob.bsky.social

This is not law. It couldn’t withstand legal scrutiny. Don’t comply in advance university presidents. General counsel, don’t panic. Do law, not vibes.

I’m a bit delayed writing this but…. I feel like we’re seeing a lot of white male heavy programming right now, which I’m finding pretty sad given the anti-EDI onslaught in the US. Have I missed any theatre leadership speaking out about the importance and value of EDI lately?

Obligingly following the US into disastrous wars on often innocent populations was always morally craven and deluded, the "special relationship" only ever existed in British minds. Nevertheless stark to see the British war dead of these campaigns openly pissed on in this manner by this total chud

The idea that President Zelenskyy should apologise for his behaviour in the Oval Office is so unbelievably twisted, it’s like telling an assault victim that if they say something nice to their assailant it won’t happen again. We really cannot normalise this narrative.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

One of my life small pleasures is advance ordering books and being surprised when they arrived. Present me is always grateful to past me for doing that.

@aberdeenartscentre.bsky.social has appointed Eve Nicol as its new programming and creative director. A Glasgow-born theatre director and playwright, Eve brings a passion for grassroots creativity and community connection. ⭕ Read more on POST

The word you’re looking for is “stolen”, not ‘given away’

Creatives! It's the last day to appeal the upcoming AI legislation. The website is here: ipoconsultations.citizenspace.com/ipo/consulta... and the key bit is the section below. TICK OPTION 1. Strengthen copyright! Option 3 - which the government prefer - is no good for us.

Last day to respond to the Government’s AI consultation - this is a big one, and directly affects whether artists will be paid. Responses by midnight, and @writersguildgb.bsky.social have a brilliant guide available to help.

I filled in the form but even if you don’t have time for that you can write a letter of protest and submit it to [email protected] Do it by midnight tomorrow. 🙏

Ballet Shoes choreographer Ellen Kane has condemned a lack of access to arts education in schools, saying creative careers are at risk of being dominated by a privileged few 👇

Tattie refused to go out in the snow this morning, so I thought it was time to try on the new snow shoes. I just can’t even 🤣🥹
