Sunday is #IOAD2025 - I will be thinking of lots of people but esp my mum who died of a drug overdose last year. Loosing anyone but esp parents to an overdose is complex with layers of grief. There is still so much stigma & shame attached. Lots of events going on across the world. Get involved💜

West of Scotland dance starter pack🎤 I had so much fun helping out at @whocaresscot summer festival. Day bringing care experienced people together for connection, fun, memories & good times. Career DJ / host change? 😆🪩🎶

'It will happen again. I’ll be asked why the world didn’t stop it. I’ll be asked why presidents and prime ministers justified the horror, and why they refused to use the word genocide' www.heraldscotland.com/opin... @jamesmcenaney.bsky.social‬

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

Unexpected. Unplanned. No plan. Just spontaneous. Arrived in Donegal for the night💚🇮🇪

EIS General Secretary Andrea Bradley moves a composite motion on behalf of general council at #STUC25 on tackling the far right, "Building working class unity is not on the far-right agenda. It is what they fear the most, but it is our job to make it happen."

Adam Sutcliffe, EIS Vice President, spoke to press in Orkney about a centre for additional support needs in Kirkwall. "Why should a young person with complex additional needs be sent to the mainland and away from their family?" youtu.be/0oOha9dX1T4 #EISNews

Utterly heartbreaking. This should not be happening in 2025 in one of the most resourced&wealthiest nations in the world. How can any child/young person be expected to concentrate or engage in their learning living with such uncertainty & in unsafe conditions. www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow...

Politicians are in the last chance saloon. If they don't start delivering for working people, then they will turn elsewhere. 📺@rozfoyer.bsky.social / #bbcdn

Immigration raids do not stop people seeking safety from needing to survive, nor do they prevent them from being exploited. Dehumanising publicity tactics do absolutely nothing to help protection of people, but everything to breed hostility and division in our society. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
