t has been a hard week. In truth, it has been a hard few years. For many trans+ people, the noise, the headlines, the debates and the hostility can feel relentless. So this Valentine’s, we wanted to do something simple. So we've launched our 'Letters of love to the trans community'...

Politics isn't working. It's time to call time on the broken culture in Westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system. Add your name to @electoralreform.bsky.social‬'s call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/3782/pe...

Libraries are powerful – why we must tackle this institutional crisis across Scotland www.thenational.scot/culture/2583...

Some campaigners claimed “chill factor” around LGBTQ+ books evoked the ‘moral panic’ before the introduction of Section 28, a policy brought in by Thatcher’s government in 1988 which aimed to “prohibit the promotion of homosexuality” https://www.theferret.scot/books-scottish-schools-librarians/

Another old Southside 🧵. This bit of verse in the Kirk Lane Burial Ground in Pollokshaws marks a nearly ordinary life. Betty Thomson died in 1871, aged 82 or 83. She and her husband had both worked in the local textile industry: he as a hand-loom weaver, she as a "needle flowerer" (embroiderer).

I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates He think it looks like he’s living in a meth den #DuvetKnowItsChristmas

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...
