mailchi.mp/connectedbab... Thank you for such a beautiful review of This Bright Life. Very much looking forward to the arts festival taking place in September, where we can talk more about this.

I know I'm inclined towards Jacobin thoughts on such matters - but attempting to present the venal, self-interested & inherently ridiculous grabbing of dangled ermine - after you failed at a democratic route to power - as proof to your dedicated devotion to public service, is repulsive. Pure odium.

Plans to turn a former Glasgow-based art centre into a Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame have been described as 'a betrayal of what that building is' despite backing from big-name Scottish artists

Every year, hundreds of young people arrive in Scotland alone with no family, no familiar faces, and a complex asylum system to navigate. At Guardianship Scotland, we make sure they don't face it alone. Here are 5 things you probably didn't know about the asylum process in Scotland.

Can't believe it's been 10 years of being told that you mustn't call ignorant bigots ignorant bigots. You just have to politely live with the mess they've made

I can't decide which Scottish World Cup chant I'm more proud of: "The Tartan Army's on a bender, Donald Trump's a sex offender!" or "He's orange, he's bald, he likes 'em 12 years auld, Donald Trump!" Outstanding work, lads.

Respect to the far right for always being totally legal and by the book. Very commendable. 👍

Spotted this at the airport before I left the USA - a great poster from a school pupil celebrating Scotland in the World Cup. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

Thoroughly recommend these classes. I got to make this beauty on one of them 😊

Glasgow welcomes refugees. Not fascists.

Hannah Graham@drhannahgraham.bsky.social · 3mo ago

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow
