Time to drop the really big bomb

EXC: Sir David Attenborough's acclaimed Scottish cameraman Doug Allan tells the Sunday Mail he backs @monicalennon.bsky.social’s #Ecocide Bill for Scotland to make mass environmental destruction a crime - set to be published next week.

"An ecocide law has the potential to be powerful."

Come on Leeds! #lufc #mot

I do love visiting a new public library (new to me, I mean). Here’s Dennistoun Library in #Glasgow

Thursday: Report by Auditor General warns the Scottish Government has made ‘minimal progress’ in achieving a climate target of cutting car use by 20% by 2030

Friday: *Nationalised* ScotRail does this 🙄

Ducks are fine though.

Some serious destruction in and around Kelvingrove Park in #Glasgow the day after #StormEowyn

Can you imagine if these oddballs actually got in charge of a country?

Oh wait…

Beautiful wintry colour in #Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens as the sun begins to set at, er, 3pm 🤪

Totally buzzing to be longlisted for the 2024 Writers & Artists Working-Class Writers’ Prize.

I’m just a guy… who wanted to write a story about Jesus knowing martial arts… and set it in modern-day Glasgow. And it really just spiralled from there.

Good luck and congrats to everyone longlisted! 🍻

Oran Mor, Glasgow. Looking just terrific.

Never been to the Mackintosh Church in Glasgow before and I am really enjoying myself.

Even better, here to see Rachel Sermanni.

Currently reading: Ever Fallen in Love by @zoestrachan.bsky.social which I’m enjoying very much and stumbled across in, you guessed it, Hillhead Library (am I on commission or something?)

Just read: Home by @caileansteed.bsky.social - a cracking story and engrossing study of the cult of cults.

I am rather a fan of Glasgow’s charming network of public libraries and I’ve been working this year to knock them off one by one.

Today I am merely in my local, Hillhead Library. Use them or lose them, people. That’s one of my many mottoes. (If you don’t like that one, I have others.)

Hello New Twitter, this is like the olden days, eh. I see some other folk have done posts introducing themselves so here’s mine.

I’m a Glasgow-based writer and journalist best known for always needing a haircut and compulsively taking a picture every time I see a squirrel.

A very red tree in autumnal Glasgow, in the university grounds.
