Hello Bluesky! We're proud to be building a better future with refugees in Scotland. Looking forward to sharing news, views and good vibes, joining the discussion around refugee rights, and standing in solidarity with people seeking safety. #AyeWelcomeRefugees

Seems like the new craze here is to make a starter pack. So, for those you trying to make sense of the hr/dem/rol landscape in Poland and lost as to how many Supreme Courts the country has, here are some quality people to begin with.

We all pay Companies House an increasing amount of money each year though to check this sort of stuff, right? @marklazarowicz.bsky.social #business #law

At 2am on Wednesday 8 February 1587, Mary, Queen of Scots wrote what is believed to be her last letter. Her execution on the block at Fotheringhay Castle was a mere six hours away 👑

Delighted to be at the #NLS100 celebrations, celebrating 100 years of curation, cataloguing + making Scotland's precious collections accessible. From Byron to the Beano, from Mary Queen of Scots' final letter to football programmes, the @natlibscot.bsky.social collection has something for everyone

Libraries and *librarians* didn’t just change my life - they saved it. Today I was honoured to be made a Centenary Champion for @natlibscot.bsky.social along with the great @valmcdermid.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

Some light Scots Law history for a Sunday - @stephenbogle.bsky.social you might enjoy this one:-

I’m truly sorry Man’s dominion Has broken Nature’s social union, An’ justifies that ill opinion, Which makes thee startle, At me, thy poor, earth-born companion, An’ fellow-mortal! 239 years ago, Rabbie Burns wrote this, not far from where I’m typing this. Thoughts?

Bluesky reminds me what social platforms should be: open, equitable, and empowering. How about you? 🦋
