Attended this with @axmthompson.bsky.social last night: www.glasgowsciencecentre.org/whats-on/the.... It was a lot of fun, though six drams later (actually seven, Alex gave me one she didn’t like!) I feel the need for a hearty brunch today…
Thank you to @hermangrech.bsky.social & the Times of Malta for re-publishing my talk on the threats to freedom of the press & for Malta's leadership in understanding where this leads. The brutal murder of the brilliant investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia is a warning to the world.

Off to sleep, catch up tomorrow!
Our two: Canisp and Suilven.
IRL - pretty good, on the whole. Way up north in the Highlands, since August, lovely to be here. Both working in the same school, a bit unusual, but interesting. How are things for you in the offline world?
Haven’t worked out how to find people through other follows yet, I’ll try do that tomorrow!

Yes, it does feel a bit like that! Not sure how it knows all the photos I’m going to like, but a lot of photos appearing in my feed, which is nice. And dad jokes (also nice!).
I’ve just been on here a few days, exploring now. Missed you too!
☺️
