Oooh, it’s getting to close to ‘The Bells!’ (Hogmanay for the unacquainted). Time to get thinkative/maudlin/contemplative. The joys of being Scottish… These are some of the things that have landed this weekend. Been a strange week (or year!). Keep fighting the good fight pals

Dear MSPs: Stage 3. Elections Bill. Make it so from 2027 onwards council vacancies are filled by co-option, with by-elections only for those elected as Independents vacating. "One local councillor" is not, never will be, and cannot be made a high-turnout occasion.

Xmas tree up today - and surprisingly more fun to do this year. This will be my fourth Xmas not living full time with my girls. It’s hard creating new rituals and connections. I wanted more for them. Leaning hard into ‘good enough’ 💪

Had a really braw evening with some very old friends last night. As much as I sometimes resist peopling/connection, I do so often feel better for it. Remembering and enacting all my life lessons so far isn’t as easy as the books make it out! 😂🥰

Queer Roma has been available as open access for 2 yrs now. My book provides rich evidence of the heterogeneity of Roma. The lived experiences of queer Roma pose a fundamental challenge to one-dimensional, negative misrepresentations of Roma as homophobic & antithetical to European/Western modernity

I know we are supposed to be over the #COVID, but on making conversation today with the healthcare assistant vaccinating, the weariness and exhaustion was still palpable. Very grateful for all the #PublicSector workers for keeping things going. I see you. That’s some heavy lifting 💪💜

Friendships with some amazing people whilst working in #SocialWork #ChildProtection had a positive impact on my overall wellbeing and ability to show up. Good to read some research which officially supports this too. Not sure I will ever be forgiven for turning back to #Psychology though 🫣😂

I co-facilitated CEDAR groups early in their development in Scotland and have often found group work rewarding and fruitful. Co-creating and holding spaces where people can speak their truths and work through what comes up is such a central part of all of my work #DomesticAbuse #Trauma #Recovery
