Can anyone see my posts? Feel like I’m shouting in the Bluesky forest. I’ve not been here much.

‘The Women Who Changed Modern Scotland’ is back on iPlayer. I was interviewed about the ‘Violence Unseen’ campaign made in the spirit of Franki Raffles. Timely to see Mridul Wadhwa talking about our feminist, collaborative approach. @zerotolerancescot.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

I am moved that my ongoing ‘Menie’ series and campaigning has been nominated for @prixpictet.bsky.social The series documents Donald Trump’s ongoing impact on a community and once protected dune system on the Aberdeenshire coast. I am grateful to the wonderful Laura Noble for nominating me.

Last weekend ‘The Greatest 36 Holes? Coming Soon’ exhibition opened at Format Festival, Derby at the beautiful Electric Daisy. Thank you to all who came to support me and to Format’s team, especially Jenna & Jodi 💚 formatfestival.com/event/alicia...

Next Friday I’m on at 215pm

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Posting some copies of ‘I Burn But I Am Not Consumed’ today. This is from my signed & numbered batch of 300. Number 272 of 300 heading to the Isle of Lewis which is also home of Trump’s mother Mary Anne MacLeod, who’s clan motto was ‘I Burn But I Am Not Consumed’ aliciabruce.co.uk/book/iburn

Taking a mini break from writing essays for my post-grad submission. Learning a lot about myself as a learner. Questions: Can I refer to brilliant Bell Hooks ‘Teaching to Transgress’ too many times? Is it nerdy that I give a wee cheer to all I agree with in her writing?

Thinking about the civic imagination in this moment.

They are complicit.

My lovely friend David and his neighbours have been standing up to Trump for nearly two decades. They saw through him immediately. @beardymilne.bsky.social metro.co.uk/2025/01/20/s...

Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal opposition to poverty, racism, and militarism. --Martin Luther King, Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? (1968)
