I’m hard to cheer up at the moment, but this definitely has. Most exciting book news of my year #graemearmstrong #raveheart www.thebookseller.com/rights/4th-e...

Recent youth violence in Scotland shows a need remains to have challenging conversations, reinforcing positive choices as alternatives to gangs & carrying weapons. Kicking off a busy week of #StreetBelonging events in Cleveden Secondary👏🏻 📸 Boxfresh Glasgow #NoKnivesBetterLives

A heartfelt thank you to the young people of @LesmahagowHigh who wrote to me after a #StreetBelonging event… I read every letter and many powerful reflections about their community and lives. Wishing you all the brightest futures ahead! #TheYoungTeam #ViolencePrevention

Huge thank you to @graemearmstrong.bsky.social for delivering another fantastic presentation to our S3 cohort! Such an important and inspiring message 👏🏼 @lesmahagowhigh.bsky.social

To anyone struggling to make their art: THEY WANT YOU TO STOP WRITING/PAINTING/MAKING. They fear our rich inner lives, beyond even their reach. They fear our revolutionary fantasies, our ungovernable and unprofitable thoughts. Yes, the obstacles are greater than ever. So is the need.

Thank you for your thought provoking presentation Graeme. Inspiring 👏🏼
