The Scottish Government manages its budget - restricted as it is and without borrowing powers - so that personal care, prescriptions, and university fees are provided without payment at point of delivery to the people of Scotland. And no charge is made for Westminster's heinous Bedroom Tax.

news.stv.tv/scotland/wom... It's bad enough that women are being missed by a diagnostic framework that means their symptoms are not recognised. It's an even bigger scandal that the NHS in parts of Scotland is blocking diagnosis for adults who suspect they are Autistic and/or ADHD. 1/

Ooh this is good. It's much more than just a list of suicide hotlines; it starts with 5 second grounding exercises and goes into a ton of depth.

Proud and terrified in equal measures after the once severely arachnophobia offspring climbed onto a chair to catch the biggest bloody spider I've seen in ages. Spider now relocated out of the house. If anyone needs me, I'll be gibbering in the corner.

Hi @vicderbyshire.bsky.social if Jason Arday and marathons ever come up, please see the evidence and references below. Better yet, invite @monkemma.bsky.social on and ask why she was able to find this information but most journalists have not
