3 years after being a union rep, sometimes I feel isolated: alone in the face of the machine that's taking your time, energy & life. But we're not alone and demonstrating support and mutual soldarity for people who need it most, reminds me we have incredible, collective strength. We're unbeatable!

The Herald. Flamingo Land's Loch Lomond proposals set to be approved after appeal.

Yesterday's walk through our workers city.

Attacking the rights of a marginalised group isn’t a win for feminism.

Demanding that women be defined by our biology isn't a win for feminism.

The people driving this are not acting in the interests of women. They're taking us all backwards and ushering in the far right.

Trump takes aim at city and state climate laws in executive order President orders justice department to stop enforcement of critical policies holding fossil fuel companies accountable

This is truly terrible.
If Trump’s destruction of the environment were given even a fraction of the media airtime that his destruction of the global economy is, the world might be a safer place for all of us

Basque fans in Glasgow for the tie against those who shall not be named, adding to the splendour. Hasta la victoria siempre or at least into the next round.

It’s part audio experience, part early-2000s nostalgia. Come for the history, stay for the vintage tech thrill.

A walk during some time off: in the hills & back to my childhood home. Back to work tomorrow, hating centrism for the return of the poison that, when I lived in that address in the 70s, no one would have believed could find a way in. The hills provide relief but there's no kidding ourselves now.

Inevitable and horrible too. All the very best to Kris.

UK to reject 'dangerous journey' refugees citizenship The Home Office change has been condemned by the Refugee Council and some Labour backbench MPs.

Freedom, empathy, compassion and solidarity have to be at the heart of the system we create.

But that can’t happen as long as the Labour government is prioritising performative cruelty and trying to compete with Reform.

A rare crisp, cold day earlier in the month, and perfect for a long walk near Strathblane.

Good to get out of town for a while today. With the sky so clear the view from just beyond Carbeth was fantastic. I don't wish it could be Christmas every day but I do wish there was more time for this sort of thing, instead of the grind again tomorrow. Love hills, hate capitalism.

Dark from kick off at 3 and like watching the match in Unthank. Still, a win's a win!
