Fan of wide open spaces, Calvin and Hobbes and cheese scones. Not necessarily in that order! Retired HT and STEM Dev Officer. Currently working P/T in adult education sector.
It’s been much, much colder here recently. 🥶 As a retired HT I’m glad the days of deciding when/if to close the school due to bad weather are behind me.

I can enjoy the beauty and peace of snowy days, burden free.

Sympathies with colleagues who still face those dilemmas and more.

With a raft of cheaper, cleaner, safer, renewable energy options proving their worth why is nuclear power even on the agenda for Scotland?

We don’t need it. We don’t want it. End of.

Let’s not have it foist upon us. 🤨
The reality is that new nuclear power in Scotland would mean massive costs, a poisoned legacy to future generation and yet more radioactive pollution of our air and seas, writes Dr Ian Fairlie ✍️

A small but important gesture (considering the devastation and misery endured by those poor Palestinians) which I hope conveys the message that the people of Scotland care and want to help end the suffering.
Scotland has contributed £600,000 to a UN humanitarian fund to support the Occupied Palestinian Territories, with one official calling the move a 'lifeline'

Each day I watch these clips and think surely they can’t get worse.

Yet each day they do.

Shocking. Heartbreaking. Criminal.
ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

How lovely are these!
1/4 of my unsold original paintings. Yes, it’s tough out there right now.

My mean employer only pays me £10 an hour to do them.

But I love painting. It’s what I was meant to do. ❤️

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Just as it should be. More of this please.
Scotland’s land should benefit the people of Scotland.

The Scottish Parliament has just overwhelmingly passed our historic Land Reform Bill - putting more power in the hands of the people, not large landowners.

Samir Zitouni, born in Algeria, is a HERO!

Reform UK stooges like Zia Yusuf and Matt Goodwin used the story of his sacrifice in the Huntingdon Train attack, to promote racism against people like Sam.

They are SCUM. Britain needs more Sams.

In Scotland, any good friend of your mother can be your “aunty”. I had at least 3 aunties who were not related to me. Just my mum’s pals.
i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days
