I think the key problem here is a continuing assumption, in traditional media, that when the White House speaks on a major topic, this is a big news story.

That model can't cope with a president with no regard for truth, who's in constant broadcast mode, & who veers around from one day to another.

A great piece about this film on C4 News. Strangely enough the books being banned include The Color Purple, Handmaid’s Tale and, of course, Fahrenheit 451. The work of cowardly, scared weirdos who need to be exposed, mocked and defeated.

"We have a progressive homelessness sector which has delivered major changes to modernise its response over many years.

"But there is a risk this direction of travel is forced to retreat by a deepening set of housing challenges that will only mask the extent of deepening exclusion."

A really interesting read on retrofitting tenements. Brought into sharp focus for me over recent days of feeling like a slowly boiling frog. Poor insulation isn’t just a winter issue now.

A photograph of a school bell, with several partial quotes surrounding it as if they're being made by the bell itself. There's text saying "The summer holidays are not a break for the 10,360 children stuck in temporary accommodation"

β˜€οΈ The summer holidays should be a fun and exciting time for a child, but with 10,360 children in Scotland living in unsuitable temporary accommodation, for them it means more time in a space they don't feel safe. 🚫

GHIFT investigated people's experiences using night shelters in Glasgow last winter and presented their evidence to councillors and officials. Read their report - and recommendations for what needs to change next winter and beyond so everyone can sleep safe: homelessnetwork.scot/wp-content/u...
