Good to see the Petitions cttee at Holyrood continue Rachel Bigsby's petition to stop the cruel and unnecessary guga hunt. A priority for the next parliament and government. A historic practice recorded in films and books, so won't be forgotten. But heritage should never mean suffering. ❤️🐦
‘Guardians of the Countryside’, my arse.
Glorious day for cycling between meetings in Edinburgh. Blue skies, jacket off! ❤️🚴

❗New date for greyhound rally: Wednesday 18th March❗
👉 We're sorry for the inconvenience, but unfortunately this is the nature of parliamentary business so close to the dissolution of the Scottish Parliament ahead of the May elections.
🙌We really hope you can still make it. Please share, thank you
It's pronounced VID-AY-OH!

I love the looks and sometimes comments I get when I get a big stack from the 'paper' shop on a Saturday. I intend to keep right on to the end of the road. 📰🗞️
Angus and the Perthshire Glens sounds like a 60s beat combo you would cut a rug to 🕺
In China, there are 26-storey towers - filled with hundreds of thousands of pigs. Now other countries are adopting the same type of "farming" 🤮 giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Listening to Today, noticeable that the Green leader was continually interrupted and moved on whereas the Reform chairman actually apologised for failing to answer the question put to him but was allowed to continue rambling. 🤨
Underwater image of a salmon swimming in green water, with other fish in the background. A red text box overlays the lower half of the image reading: “‘Weak’ salmon farm watchdog: 100 investigations and just two warning letters.” The Ferret logo appears in the top corner.
🔴 NEW: Is regulation of salmon farming "embarrassingly weak"?
Ahead of scrutiny of the sector by the rural affairs committee today, we find the UK's animal welfare regulator investigated 100 complaints about fish welfare - but only sent two warning letters 👉 https://bit.ly/4tQQ1PA

Sigh. The irony of a story about climate change impacting beef farming, with zero mention of beef farming's massive greenhouse gas footprint. www.ft.com/content/49ae...

What movie moment made you exclaim…
“THIS IS CINEMA”.
This happened to me once, some years ago. Couldn't get off at Musselburgh with my bike so had to wait until Wallyford and then cycle the long way home. We need to know this stuff *before* we get on the train! ❤️🚲
Newspaper headline which says "leader stand's by call" - including an apostrophe in the word "stands".
Sub-head in a national newspaper. That apostrophe! My eyes! 😱
We’d like to hear from communities across the city about neighbourhoods they would like to be considered for firework control zones next November. FCZs are for private spaces such as gardens. These zones help reduce noise, stress and littering caused by fireworks.

Ah, the thrill of picking up a reservation from the library - placed so long ago that I can't remember why I wanted it. ❤️📚
Good piece in today's Scotsman by @philip-ciwf.bsky.social - it is crowded industrial poultry systems we should be pointing fingers at. Lower density, higher welfare has got to become the norm. ❤️🐔
