I'll be hosting Ely Percy at Cumbernauld Library, where we'll talk about their Scottish classic Duck Feet. In preparation, I dug this iconic old jacket out of the wardrobe.

Someone has listened to 1. Outside and unlocked the whole album. It's my favourite Bowie record. PS he might have worked out the identity of The Minotaur...

I'll miss 404 Ink. They have great taste, their aesthetic was really my thing, and I loved their books. Running a publishing house in this anti-art economy must be hell. Brilliantly, Heather and Laura did everything (including closing 404) on their own terms. That's punk! #publishing

It's raining. I don't mind the rain because I'm Scottish. Anyway, I pulled this out the a̶r̶c̶h̶i̶v̶e̶ cupboard. I *think* it was made by a girl in Malaysia. It was nearly ten years (and five stones) ago. Who says you can't dress up as a watermelon for a day out? 😎

BREAKING on @heraldscotland.bsky.social
Glasgow schools face losing their librarians as part of council cuts aimed at saving £100k.
Glasgow Life won't say why this information is only coming out a few days before schools close for the summer.
