Hope next week is better!
Today I have added a section for venues at risk. The Flying Duck are seeking a new operator in town and Adrian's Bar on Victoria Road have opened up a membership scheme to try to stay open.

Great capture ☀️
Apologies but I have been at it again - it being, walking about, having thoughts about the walking about.

Water like liquid metal in the afternoon sun, and what's that making the ripples? An Otter in the River Clyde, east of Glasgow Green, yesterday.
Someone has compiled a list of cultural spaces in Glasgow that have closed this year. It's embarrasing and really highlights how badly the city is failing arts & culture. eblknd.leaflet.pub/3mg6akzx3n22l
Today I want to talk about Jess’ Rule and Martha’s Rule, two new initiatives across NHS England that I think are really important and you should know about.
Tl;dr: if your symptoms are not improving or getting worse, at home or in hospital, you have the right and Drs the responsibility to review.

It's so hard to live an off peak introvert lifestyle these days!
I am concerned about the recent closures to many arts organisations in Glasgow and have tried to detail them in this post. If you have any more relevant information please let me know!
Meanwhile the threshold for Scottish students is £32,745 and we have much lower fees. It's scandalous what is happening to English graduates.
Gorgeous!
Are you able to say whether this would affect Scottish rail users on journeys fully within Scotland?

Happy birthday / pancake horse eclipse!
One of my colleagues got someone in to do one at the school of art away day and it actually went down quite well!
The extractive nature of LLMs can be seen in their exploitation of not only open content, but also in their damage to open infrastructures.
Precious wee thing!
Seems quite clear at the moment that multi use arts spaces are dying on their feet, and not for lack of artists using them.
I'm at the intersection of Philosophy Scholars Summit, Contemporary Art Studios and the Digital Humanities Laboratory, amongst other things.
