above and below, wish us luck in our quest for funding!

Read Robin McAloines piece. It articulates a lot of things which float around in the mind and are hard to articulate. Concise and very good.

The silence is deafening. A lot of people are feeling anxious and scared tonight. For their loved ones. For themselves. For their community. For their country. For our country. Those who lead us must use their voices, unequivocally, now.

The saddest thing is that there are decent people in Scottish labour who are powerless in the face of UK labour's rightward drift. To think that Scottish labour under Jack McConnel purged everyone who had any tactical nous re independence/devolution. Now they are stuck

Shareef don't like it...

@municipaldreams.bsky.social always captures the practical optimism of public housing, an important heritage of the 20th century. This is surely not the future they had in mind, but perhaps we can honour that heritage by pushing for proper public housing once again

Direct action against genocide is not a crime! I oppose genocide and I support non-violent action to stop it by any means necessary. image: Scottish author Naomi Mitchison at the Greenham Women's Peace Camp, photographed by Janine Weidel. #stopthegenocide #freepalestine🇵🇸

Today at 6pm: a performance screening on The Waters at Glasgow's Market Gallery, the Barras. All welcome!

Happy 40th birthday to the glorious Primitive Painters by Felt featuring Elizabeth Fraser, which was released on this day in 1985. Here's the original video from back then (THREAD) youtu.be/Rp8AvC_ESdM

At about 4.10pm on this day 54 years ago, something weird started happening on Scottish Television. There was no announcement, and no credit was given to the person who had created them, but strange short films suddenly started popping up in the schedules youtu.be/AA9IdHtHk_0?...

This week I sent the Cumbernauld Dialectogram to its new home. Can't say exactly where yet, other than I'm excited... Also, myself, @alisonirvine.bsky.social & @chrislesliephoto.bsky.social will bring Concrete Dreams to @natlibscot.bsky.social in Sept. Tickets are free! www.nls.uk/whats-on/con...

Announcing an upcoming performance/video event at Glasgow's Market Gallery on the 4th September! Waters, walking, and flux... All welcome.

We`re yet to discover if this real terms pay cut will apply to the elite management levels who got us into this disastrous mess in the first place...

The University of Dundee has announced it will defer the 1.4% national pay rise for staff in higher education. With inflation above 3% this means hard working staff at the University will be getting at least a 3% real terms pay cut this year.

Very good.

Great thread, good morning.

The Party for Moderate Progress Within the Bounds of the Law has sent its first declaration to the breakfast tables of the nation! Contact the secretary for more details, and your chance to change the world for the marginally better!

Our redundancies will not now go ahead. Thanks to all who gave us their support and solidarity. @ducuuo.bsky.social will fight and will win no compulsory redundancies for staff who are not at fault for the financial collapse of the University.

A surprise on the upper slopes of Suilven: a magpie moth. There were lots of them at about 2,000 feet, where the slope tends ever more vertical. I now know a lot more about butterflies moths and their differences. #suilven #sutherland #insectlife #utopia

Five words about Palestine Action could get me arrested. By Ronan Bennett www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/fre...

A new direct action group calling itself 'Yvette Cooper' claims to have targeted Time Logistics for providing transport in Britain for Israel's Elbit Systems. Its message to the government on social media says, "if you want to ban Palestine Action, you'll have to proscribe Yvette Cooper too"

Did you know Glasgow has its own Wall of Death arts space, the REVELATOR? They have an exhibition opening on Friday evening to which I have contributed a piece.

Artworks being installed at REVELATOR, Barclay Curle shipyard, Glasgow. Summer fun!

Good evening Tayside.

good morning from the scanner where agfapan 25 and a very slow shutter speed made woodland magic.

Quote a record that you found in your parents' collection when you were young.

The Israeli government has shown that it is not prepared to stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza is dead, disabled or displaced. Every day in which it is still armed and supported by Western states, our own included, is a stain on international law.

Primal Scream announce new LP

Another from "It's a Sign"- one of a pair of new photozines I have released this month. Tidal Metal, as you will remember, was a neo-grunge trance slam speed metal group from Silvertown, whose second John Peel session led to questions in the House of Commons. #photography #signage #selfpublish

Good morning, I have made a couple of photozines: get them directly from me or from Street Level Glasgow. 'BELTANE' is about the pagan festival before it became a ticketed fully marshalled experience.'It's a Sign' is a compendium of strange, defaced, deranged and random signage across the realm.

At this point we should hopefully know that #AI can't be trusted. But it is still baffling that honesty and transparency about how it works cannot simply be baked in. open.substack.com/pub/amandagu...

Hang on if the government has decided everything I do is completely worthless and anyone can help themselves to it, do I still have to pay tax????

Using my first BlueSky post to share this exciting hybrid conference 8-10 June I've organised with @susanwardell.bsky.social @gair.bsky.social @energy-ethics.bsky.social #EnergyinMotion #CEE2025 Join us for art workshops, talks, poetry, film and more!

Amid all the gushing tributes to Alan Yentob and his impact on culture and the arts on the BBC it might be nice to have some explanation of why there is now no arts and culture on the BBC.
