Really appreciated Scottish parliamentarians @sarahboyack.bsky.social, @foysolchoudhury.bsky.social and @lornaslater.bsky.social taking time to discuss climate solutions w constituents. Action at local and sub-state level is key.

We had a great turnout from folks in the Lothian region at the mass climate lobby. Thank you to @sarahboyack.bsky.social, @foysolchoudhury.bsky.social and @lornaslater.bsky.social for making their way round the tables and speaking to so many constituents.

MSPs are hearing loud and clear: they must step up and deliver lasting change that protects our communities, our economy, nature and our planet for the future. #ActNowChangeForever

Groups of people sit in a conference room. ‘ACT NOW CHANGE FOREVER’ is projected on the wall.

Check out this short piece on 'Climate Change Politics in the Age of Trump 2.0'. Not as depressing as you'd think. @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social @uoe-sps.bsky.social @edinburghpir.bsky.social @psaenvironmental.bsky.social

What an event. Riveting personal stories, poetry and scholarship. The redemptive power of arts is mistakable. Thank you to @edbookfest.bsky.social @kir-anderson.bsky.social @noellecobden.bsky.social @lady_unchained

Packed room for the "Unlocking the arts" event at the Edinburgh Book Festival this afternoon, with the wonderful Kirstin Anderson and Lady Unchained discussing art, incarceration, and how to think of possible ways forward to both mitigate and prevent the harms of criminalisation.

I think it's really nice they do this but this is my fairly regular request that someone in the PSA puts the Scottish Higher results day in the diary and creates an equivalent post. We need Scottish students to study politics as well.

Political Studies Association@polstudiesassoc.bsky.social · 12mo ago

Good luck to #Students receiving their #ALevel results today. If you are continuing your studies at #University why not consider a #Politics degree! Here are some helpful pointers from PSA CEO Michelle Doyle Wildman. buff.ly/1LYW8F8 #ALevelResultsDay #ALevelResults2025

‘Meta has stolen books’: authors to protest in London against AI trained using ‘shadow library’

Writers will gather at the Facebook owner’s King’s Cross office in opposition to its use of the LibGen database to train its AI models

Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive” Theft is not a valid alternative.
