150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.

An investigation by OpenDemocracy found that Palantir has paid very little UK tax, despite receiving over £670m in UK public contracts. How? By booking profits overseas, and using tax loopholes for paying staff with stocks to reduce their corporation tax bill.

Well done to the demonstrators who turned out in their masses to counter the far right in Brighton. Good people outnumber these hateful little nobodies and always will.

Glasgow now, there is no place in Scotland for racism or fascism.

A little summary of our Geoforum paper is now up online thanks to @disabmurals.bsky.social ☺️👇

Along with other Glaswegians, I worked with the @sensing-climate.bsky.social team (Working representing #climatechange and #disability ) to contribute ideas to #mural #art in #Glasgow #Scotland. I got to help paint it too! 🎨🖌️ Check it out from Midday on 6th March, 2026 in the G.E.S.H, Easterhouse

We've had a wonderful day celebrating the launch of TWO Sensing Climate murals in Glasgow, at Greater Easterhouse Supporting Hands, with a fab mural team sharing key messages for what to prioritise in climate responses - mostly we need to look out for each other! sensing-climate.com/news/glasgow...

Welll today was the day of showing members of GDA and many other who took part in the mural of climate change and disabled people of not one, but TWO, murals in Glasgow! The key message is that we need to look out for each other, both as the world is now and as the climate changes.

The mural team have been busy this week! A day of final touches today & then tomorrow we'll be celebrating the opening of not one, but TWO, murals in Glasgow! The key message is that we need to look out for each other, both as the world is now and as the climate changes. More info to follow soon!
