I still lose my mind over Babymetal. Golden is 100% the song of the summer in this house.

Hope the meds keep doing the heavy lifting. Sending squishy (but gentle) hugs.

Happy Birthday! May I say you don't look or sound a day over 40?

I already stopped buying from US based companies (specifically ones who donated to the Orange bampot's campign) at the start of the year. Won't be buying any US imported goods either.

UK to recognise state of Palestine in September unless Israel holds to ceasefire Cabinet agrees to support Middle East roadmap at emergency meeting called amid humanitarian crisis in Gaza

Recognition of Palestine is decades overdue, and should not be conditional.

Keir Starmer must immediately recognised the state of Palestine, call out the ongoing genocide, and stop aiding the Israeli military with training, weapons and intelligence.

"John Swinney has to think this weekend. What are the history books going to write about this chapter for Scotland?"

The First Minister is meeting Donald Trump for dinner this evening.

Forest #fungi on my early morning walk with the Husky.

She was very interested in these, but was easily distracted by the raspberry bush covered in fruit that she spotted.

A large group of protestors against Trump in Edinburgh. Some are holding signs reading 'Nae Trump', 'Stop Trump, Welcome Immigrants' and 'No fascists, no rapists, no Trump'.

Scottish Green MSP Ross Greer speaks to anti-Trump protestors.

A sign held above a crowd reads 'Stop Trump, Migrants Welcome'.

A large group of protestors against Trump in Edinburgh. Two signs are visible, one reading 'Scotland hated Trump before it was fashionable', the other reading 'Stp Trump, stop the far right.'

Donald Trump is not welcome in Scotland.

Here here!

The people of Scotland had no say. Trump greased the hands of the Scottish Government in order to open the Menie course and then bought over Turnberry.

Also his entry into the UK is down to the UK govt.

So don't shame us, shame the governments who are swayed by money.

We need this stopped.

Say it loud, say it clear:
Donald Trump's not welcome here.

Tell Trump he's not welcome in Scotland. Protests. Edinburgh, Saturday 12 noon, US Consulate, 3 Regent Terrace. Aberdeen, Saturday 12 noon, Wallace Statue, Union Terrace.

A convicted criminal who works to destroy democracy and human rights is about to land in Scotland.

Join the protests tomorrow and tell Donald Trump that he and his destructive political project are not welcome here.

Ding ding! Although it's been decontaminated since the 90's.

Wouldn't want to pollute the waters.

We could stick him on Gruinard Island 🤣 (look it up if you don't know about it).

We don't f*ing want him. His mother may have been Scottish, but there is not an ounce of Scottishness in his personality.

Tomorrow's front page 📰

Convicted US felon to arrive in Scotland

We certainly have a way with words 🤣

Definitely spin!

We (the people) had no say in the matter, he greased the palms of Scottish govt members to be able to build his course on an SSSI leading to loss of special diversity in the area.

He's expected Friday. The people of Scotland will not be silent in our disapproval.

Many congratulations to both of you. I hope you have something suitable planned by way of celebration.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Ice and Raven are doing likewise. Energy levels here are at zero.

“Even God Cannot Hear Us Here”: What I Witnessed Inside an ICE Women’s Prison Tufts University doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk opens up about her 45 days in a South Louisiana processing facility—and the generous and compassionate women she met.

For the first time since she was freed from an immigration prison, Rümeysa Öztürk speaks. And she does so by ... writing:

"Writing is the heart of freedom of expression. Unbelievably, this single opinion piece, published in our student newspaper, would lead to my arrest and detention."

Gen X nostalgia right there!

And this is a cheeky dog.

She obviously thought lying on the coffee table was the coolest place in the house.
