We have lost all contact with our UNRWA colleagues in Gaza, communications have been cut off.

This morning, for the first time in months, we did not receive their morning messages to say, "good morning" and "we are fine/alive".

We anxiously await to hear from our colleagues.

A few years ago, I translated a poem by Chinese modernist poet Fei Ming called "the nineteenth night of december." You can read it on my website🕯️

"in the late night, the lantern
is like the songs of lofty mountains and flowing waters,
a sea beyond the physical self."

"Okay, get some snaps of that Mangione character, but you better not pull any bullshit where he looks like the subject in a 16th century painting called 'Christ taken at the Garden of Gethsemane'."

🥀Labour have betrayed working class women across Scotland.

➡️Anas Sarwar promised compensation for those who suffered pension injustice. Now, his party won't give them a penny.

🟢The Scottish Greens are clear: WASPI women deserve full, fast and fair compensation.

Today is International #MigrantsDay 💚

Scotland's long history of immigration and emigration has made us what we are today.

We must always remain an open, accepting and welcoming country that everyone can call home.

Something important to remember is that when we talk about protecting sex workers, we don't just mean from sexual predators or serial killers.

There are several ways sex workers can experience violence.

This is a very good visual for how talking about artists helps us. If you’ve commissioned, bought from or worked with an artist, please talk about it. It helps us a lot.
Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

Total count donated nationally: 286,637
