Oooh, it’s getting to close to ‘The Bells!’ (Hogmanay for the unacquainted). Time to get thinkative/maudlin/contemplative. The joys of being Scottish…
These are some of the things that have landed this weekend. Been a strange week (or year!). Keep fighting the good fight pals
Dear MSPs: Stage 3. Elections Bill. Make it so from 2027 onwards council vacancies are filled by co-option, with by-elections only for those elected as Independents vacating. "One local councillor" is not, never will be, and cannot be made a high-turnout occasion.
Revealed: UK politics infiltrated by ‘dark money’ with 10% of donations from dubious sources - www.theguardian.com/politics/202... "Cash from dictatorships and shell companies is entering the political system via legal loopholes" probably the most serious threat to UK #democracy
An uncoordinated and colourful Xmas tree with decorations - one which reads ‘No Grit, No Pearl’
Xmas tree up today - and surprisingly more fun to do this year. This will be my fourth Xmas not living full time with my girls. It’s hard creating new rituals and connections. I wanted more for them. Leaning hard into ‘good enough’ 💪

Can’t beat a #Scottish #Italian chippy and ice cream for a mid morning pick-me-up. Love the old wooden booths and flocked wallpaper. Makes me nostalgic #Glasgow #UniversityCafe
Huge shelves with books behind a glass wall
Intrigued by the People’s Bookshelf at the National Library of Latvia. Each book in the collection has been donated by a member of the public and is inscribed by its former owner, telling a personal story relating to the book.

Had a really braw evening with some very old friends last night. As much as I sometimes resist peopling/connection, I do so often feel better for it. Remembering and enacting all my life lessons so far isn’t as easy as the books make it out! 😂🥰
The fantatsis @powes.bsky.social are finally on Bluesky. Give them a follow for some interesting updates
On the UN Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we remember the 267 women recorded on our #Femicide Watch for Ireland. At our public event last week, we remembered each stolen life with a vibrant, beautiful floral tribute. 267 stems for 267 women #16daysofactivism
Can you add me please? It’s a central part of my commuter ethic. That and talking about the weather and hoping their shift will be over soon ☺️
This BlueSky “starter pack” on depth psychology and psychoanalysis is half full!

Queer Roma has been available as open access for 2 yrs now.
My book provides rich evidence of the heterogeneity of Roma. The lived experiences of queer Roma pose a fundamental challenge to one-dimensional, negative misrepresentations of Roma as homophobic & antithetical to European/Western modernity
Such a beautiful city. I had such a wonderful time when I visited - didn’t eat a bad meal and felt very able to explore.
In a cohort of 2.8 million, 2007-2020: Black, African, Caribbean or Black British, Mixed or multiple and Other ethnic groups were over-represented in public and private law proceedings and Asian British people over-represented in private law.

Hello, could you add me to this please? Thank you ☺️
@diervilla.bsky.social hello 👋🏼 could you please add me to your UK psychology academics starter pack? I’m currently at the university of Glasgow exploring older adults and suicide. Thanks ☺️
Could you add me please too thanks?
Exactly 🎯
My 11 year old was talking about this at length on the walk to school today. We both decided we would like not to be shouted at on trains more than be in shops with rainbow flags. The littlest was very confused anyone would shout at girls for kissing girls. This also felt like a win! 😂
I am honestly begrudging the rubbish I’m watching now just so I can save it. I’m not sure I’m doing this right 🫣😂
Will be mentioning @mininglandscapes.bsky.social Newtongrange walk and oral history book coauthored by @ymcfadden.bsky.social tomorrow (Sat 23 Nov).
I’m saving up the episodes so I can have a mega binge soon. So pleased it’s back!

I know we are supposed to be over the #COVID, but on making conversation today with the healthcare assistant vaccinating, the weariness and exhaustion was still palpable. Very grateful for all the #PublicSector workers for keeping things going. I see you. That’s some heavy lifting 💪💜
Good to see you here ☺️
