In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

good morning and happy kenmure street day
Kenmure Street, Glasgow. Four years ago.

Ordinary people stopped what they were doing to protect their neighbours. No strangers.

Happy Kenmure Street Day ✊

Loved the conversations and the time spent with everyone on this. It was an education for myself, and despite the very real grief and loneliness at the heart of it, a very uplifting experience. Big fan of Ese, thank you for reaching out, and the team @waverleycare.bsky.social
Yesterday, we were thrilled to launch our HIV anti-stigma documentary, See You, See Me, See Us.

The film explores the emotional impact of loneliness following an HIV diagnosis, the challenges, resilience, and hope for the future. 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWQx...

This is the kind of film to watch in times like these, when you need a bit of hope, when you need reminding that action makes a difference, even when it seems small or ridiculous. The buggers are counting on us to psyche ourselves out. Unionise.

I got to contribute to @debasers.bsky.social 's documentary about life in Govanhill with a title graphic, which was very cool :D What a wonderful documentary it was, honest and touching and absolutely full to the brim with humanity.
