The lack of press coverage for the enormous Glasgow fire makes me think of Grenfell in the sense that they sure don't give a shit whose home burns as long as they can't relate to the victims

LIVE updates from Glasgow's Union Street as multiple buildings collapse The fire took hold on Union Street this afternoon, before speading to Gordon Street. Glasgow Central is closed and a nearby hotel has been evacuated.

Updates on the Union St fire in Glasgow

The Union Corner was built in 1851 so is a huge loss of architecture as well as the livelihoods of numerous folk. When it's finally out we'll need answers as to why it wasn't controllable

My hairdresser and friend opened her business last week. Tonight it burned to the ground. This is devastating.

I’ve set up a fundraiser. If you haven’t done anything for international women’s day yet, here’s a chance to support a women-run business in need: www.paypal.com/pools/c/9nhn...

Glasgow Central: Building collapses next to station as fire causes major disruption Dozens of services have since been cancelled and the station will be closed until further notice.

Pink Image - of incased open books. With a moon in different phases above. And stars around it. Surrounding the incased image, read the words: “A well-read woman is a dangerous creature.”

Happy #InternationalWomansDay! Women should be valued not just today but every day.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

A report out today said that Russia's war on Ukraine has emitted over 400 million metric tons of CO2, which is roughly equivalent to all diesel engines on earth running nonstop for a year.

Multiple reports this week suggest the carbon emissions of our war on Iran will be significantly higher.

ICE deports family, including deaf boy who wasn’t given his assistive devices — Guardian US California state superintendent says mother and sons arrested during ICE check-in and deported to Colombia

Sigh. Transferring people and not timely updating the ICE detainee locator or telling family or lawyers where they are has long been a tactic of enforced disappearance used by DHS to hinder the filing of habeas petitions to defend rights. This is just one recent example: apple.news/AhOtuCu2FTby...

it should be socially acceptable to lick your plate clean if the meal was so good it moved you to do so

another thing, ladies, don't accept for anything less than you deserve.

For example, if you know that a man is giving you 60 percent of his effort and you are accepting it, why would he ever give you 100 percent?

men are calculated and manipulative. don't fall for it.

It premieres March 21 on Sky.

While I'm thrilled to have been trained to basic competency before our collective situation kicks ALL the way off, it's taken quite the toll. Excellent time to help me close out the last 4% and $2669 of this 3 yrs 4mo fundraiser so I can climb out of the hole my dedication to midwifery got me into.

Cannot tell you how depressing it is to read that people are simply refusing to read nonfiction after you’ve worked really hard to write a nonfiction book you believe in, in case anyone is wondering why I’m posting so much about my book which comes out in a few weeks #BookSky
