We have now entered 24 hours of Scottish smugness vis a vis the rest of the UK. Hope your day off in August was worth it.

Our economy isn't working for people or planet.
We need a #WellbeingEconomy that delivers social justice on a healthy planet.

Lots of thoughts about this one but main one: maybe if we started to own it maybe if we stopped hiding & sacrificing- people would know how to help and would adapt to accommodate us. Lots of folk are generally decent but what they don't know, they can't fix...

Ooh so far so good with this. As a songleader humming was already a go to for grounding & settling but never occurred to me to use for this. Seems to help.
👋😊 Are you feeling 💯 unable to focus? Try humming 🤷 For real. Humming activates the vagus nerve, which calms the body, lowers HR, reduces cortisol, and promotes relaxation. Humming also provides a bit of sensory input, good for #EmotionalRegulation amidst the brainstorms

This whole joining a new SM platform thing mainly 1 starter pack at a time has interesting effects. One day my feed is dominated by farming interests, the next new economics. Balance will be challenging to achieve but enjoying the process.

Forget a starter pack of politicians and journalists. I want a starter pack of niche British cultural events that go comedically wrong. I want condiment bottles that look like celebrities. I want a WAG detective, a boat naming, and a dress that’s either blue or gold.

Well so far I like this place. Lovely neighbours and lots of green space. Can it really last? Here's hoping.

Great list and like the title!
I did a little starter pack of people in Scotland that I followed on the other place and think they’re interesting enough to recommend that you follow them too 🙂 You’re welcome!
