ok i realise i am late to the clair obscure: expedition 33 party but i would die for the gestrals

Thinking about Neil the Seal ❤️

not to start deliveroo discourse again but my partner has just had surgery and is home from a very long hospital stay and i have now discovered the world of meal prep services these are so affordable? and healthier and more convenient? and in the case of the ones I'm looking at, locally owned?

pokopia is unfortunately extremely addictive

why is taylor swift getting married in nyc and fucking up the whole city in the process like she isn't from there? neither is her husband? they have infinity money and could have flown every guest to some private paradise island? feels like a sick power trip imo

hi i was the co-convener of the snp lgbt+ wing at the time of the leadership election and have met humza multiple times, knew his staffers etc he's the only leadership candidate who engaged with us seriously, answered all of our questions, actually understood what conversion practices entail, etc

finally watching gary so i can watch the bear season 5 and jfc this is an unpleasant hour

some of you lately doing revisionism on how bad scotland's weather is and all i can say is if you've never lived anywhere else cut that shit out "well, actually, rainfall averages for glasgow are no higher than..." same rain in a perpetual month long mist vs one day storm is not the same, shut up

who buys the products

we're all making fun of this but it kind of isn't a joke a non-exhaustive list of things the ex shouted at me over gaming for: - standing too close to the tv - using the microwave or bluetooth and therefore affecting the wifi? - watching at the wrong time - moving anywhere in eye line

fun fact: the glasgow royal infirmary's chaplaincy service and sanctuary space operate 9-5, monday-friday please schedule your hospitalisation related spiritual/mental health crisis accordingly

my partner is in the hospital and will be for another week probably and i can't sleep 😭

sigh, 30 rock is in many respects the funniest and jokes-per-minute densest sitcom ever made but oh boy it has aged badly

On that last repost, there was also a motion against the EHRC Code of Practice at Glasgow's full council yesterday, proposed by me and seconded by Cllr McGill (ward 21). Unfortunately it was too far down the order paper for us to get to it but I will try to bring it back.

🚨STATEMENT🚨 Please read Out for Indy's statement on the UK Government's draft bill on conversion practices.

i'll take it

felt lucky to get on a train and we got about 50 metres outside central before just... stopping. it's been almost 10 minutes. at least it's air conditioned?

important to note the draft bill produced by the scottish government only exempted regulated healthcare professionals (this is a *very* small number of people) and only when acting in line with their regulatory boards the westminster version basically allows any quack 'counsellor' to carry on

god i love glasgow and its violently spicy corner shop samosas

is it just that i've been away camping so lost my resistance to it or is every shop on the city centre going way overboard on scents these days

wildly impressed with the staff at the glasgow royal infirmary - very kind, patient, and neurodiversity aware

it was nice while it lasted

took friday off and have somehow managed to squeeze in camping on both eigg and knoydart in that time scotland is actually incredible

good morning

Very much hope the party doesn’t learn the lessons of losing one seat to the Tories faster than it learns the lessons of losing 3 ministers (and one more constituency) to the Greens and Lib Dems last month.

good morning

The Labour Government has, over the past two years, eradicated trans youth healthcare and overseen the forced detransition of trans youth, and accepted new regulatory guidance that is a segregation charter for trans people. Any genuine ban would immediately criminalise their current policy platform

HAHAHA

imagine unironically using the phrase 'platforming nicola sturgeon'

i know this is all i ever post anymore but how is it this cold and this damp

suggestion to renfrewshire council: you might not have to have the 'please don't abuse our staff' message while you're on hold if you didn't make people go through the worst ai audio chatbot of all time before being allowed to access a real person

re social media bans, sort of feel like we had it right with a minimum age of 13, it's just that we didn't enforce it 16 just seems far too high, let alone this curfew business for 16-18s

ok i know we're making fun of this in a brits love banning things way but tbf there were at least two good reasons not to read in bed before electricity was widespread

this curfew for 16-17 year olds is unbelievable besides the fact that in scotland 16 year olds are largely treated as adults, we also have huge numbers of 17 year olds away to live independently at college/uni, but they'll have a state mandated bedtime?

nothing like waking up and having a big cry first thing in the morning 😭

Enough is enough. When politicians use hateful language, they create conditions for hatred to grow. This is the Reform party I warned about, and they should be ashamed for inciting racial division in Scotland. I will always stand up for the inclusive country we are. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

it's good actually that the first minister can explicitly say this in these terms. labour simply would not, have not, will not to the same degree without a hundred caveats

"I think it does actually mean a lot to trans people like me that these MPs have come forward and said, in the face of a Supreme Court judgment, in the face of a piece of government approved statutory guidance: No, we don't think this is right. We think the law should work in a different way."

discovering that it is virtually impossible to get rid of a sofa set if the previous owners removed the tags

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

morrisons are doing this thing where their rewards app randomly assigns you a team for the world cup and you get discounts related to it somehow it has assigned me england

Anas Sarwar has now in the chamber declared that Joanna Cherry was "intimidated and bullied out of her job" She lost an election to your party! Scott Arthur beat her and is a literal Labour MP! The electorate made their choice! Good GODS can he just quit politics forever, the damage he is doing!

labour are utterly incompetent and do not have even basic familiarity with the processes of the country they're theoretically governing

You're not going to believe this but I think Anas Sarwar should resign. The best time for him to resign was immediately after losing a second Holyroor election after running a presidential campaigm. The second best time is now, after "legitimate concerns"ing race riots.

btw the Scottish Government is also still on twitter

jesus fucking christ this is the exact opposite of what we need - more legitimising of the bigotry and hatred labour need to be rooted out along with the rest of the fascist sympathisers

none of these people have "legitimate concerns" and none of them are left behind so much as they have sat their assess down in the road like a stubborn dog who refuses to move

I was wondering why Starmer hasn't yet said anything about the far right violence last night, including delivery riders in Glasgow having to barricade themselves inside the St Enoch Centre to escape Union flag waving racists targeting Black people on the streets, but then I remembered this
