Today’s tune 🎶❤️🎶

Taking a break from the world in the garden. #deepbreath #bloomscrolling

Ugh. Fascism in our faces.

Photos from this summer in Mombasa. Beautiful flora! #bloomscrolling

Activists from the group Everyone Hates Elon unveiled a giant photo of US President Donald Trump with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein near Windsor Castle on Sept. 15, 2025. The protest coincided with Trump's state visit to the UK hosted by King Charles III.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

#bloomscrolling Bee happy!

You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now. Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate. Look at the double standards. Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy. This is America.

Last few days of summer…

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

The conversation around Labour’s 10-Year Health Plan is growing — and so are concerns about creeping privatisation. We’re not letting this slide. The public deserves real answers 💬 🚨https://everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/show-us-the-money-keir #StopPrivatisation #SaveNowPayLater #PFIs

Some photos from the Trump visit protest I attended in Aberdeen yesterday. Excellent speakers. A peaceful vibe of solidarity. As much as we despise the person, he’s a symptom of a much wider problem. For ALL of us! Reject fascism!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦

Donald Trump is a dangerous authoritarian who is who is actively working to undermine democratic institutions and basic human rights, at home and aroud the world. If Labour can’t even stand against Trump, they don’t stand for anything at all.

This seems a clear argument for Scotland being a colony of England. I've seen some insisting that the view is nonsense (eg SNP's Mhairi Hunter), but if we're *not* a colony, what are we? Partners can choose. We're not allowed to. So what *are* we? angrypict.substack.com/p/what-is-a-...

🌈 Yoooo happy autistic pride day! 🌈

After the rain today. #flowersky

The main political divide today is not left vs right, nor progressive vs conservative. It is between those who care about others and egotists.

I've called on the UK government to stop ALL arms sales to Israel. Sign. 👇👇 www.oxfam.org.uk/get-involved...

You have FOUR (4) more days to order a Biology is Bigger than Binaries shirt, designed by the lovely and talented @franzanth.bsky.social. In this nightmare of a year, merch is keeping @skypeascientist.bsky.social afloat. Even if you don't order, RT's help so much! Get 'em: squidfacts.bigcartel.com

It’s ‘International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia’, or as I call it, ‘Being A Decent Human Being Day’. Observe it by questioning media, who call the right of LGBTQ ppl to exist ‘a debate’. Persecution, violence, rape & murder are not a debate, they’re crimes. #IDAHOBIT

The audacity of Esther Rantzen telling every single organisation representing disabled people they are wrong about the assisted suicide bill, when the Royal College of Psychiatrists and The Coalition of Frontline Care for People Nearing the End of Life agree with...disabled people #AssistedDying

We can rethink our assumptions: “The ‘everyone’s a bit autistic’ myth can be actively harmful. It’s often used to dismiss the challenges we face or to argue that autistic people don’t really need support.” By @draimeegrant.bsky.social: theconversation.com/everyone-isn... #neurodiversity #autism

Very true.

#Starmer #EU #Lab "Starmer can keep pandering to Brexit’s ghosts, leaving us a supplicant to Trump’s US, or he can pivot toward the EU’s stability+social contract" Let’s make sure the UK isn’t left peering thro the EU’s window, watching what we once had slip away." open.substack.com/pub/european...

Absolute madness.

Shooting everyone in the foot. FFS.

I get told “give Labour a chance!” “Where did you expect them to get us, in ten months?” If someone is driving in the wrong direction, you point it out before they reach their destination. They have poor plans for the NHS, and are increasing privatisation. I’m not waiting 5 years to talk about it🚨

Today’s tune ❤️🎶❤️ (seems like a good one to be taking the train to):

Could they be more gorgeous? #ducks #peakdistrict

Finally made it to Sherwood Forest to see Major Oak!!! ❤️ #treesofbluesky #trees #oak

Things have been going well in the greenhouse - most outside now and the rest hardening off.

Tonight’s tune and my favourite on beat saber 🤣😉❤️🎶

English nationalism will be the death of the Union. As England drifts ever more to the nationalist right, Scottish independence comes closer and closer My column in @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

This afternoon, Labour had the chance to stand up for Scottish industry by backing a call to give Grangemouth the same support as British Steel - they failed to do so. 👇

My new favourite Aberdeen street art - great version of a classic.
