Once a symbol of unity and hope across Europe, the Eurovision Song Contest has been turned into a pink-washing front for war criminals in Israel.
After today's decision, there must be a global boycott of Eurovision.

I watched celeste barber’s ad for her make up brand where she goes round a supermarket, dressed as a showgirl and makes up women like magic (who, btw, are already wearing make up) and I thought why do we still do this Cinderella shit?

Today I learned a bit about Photo etching and embraced the challenges. I also got to express ideas and felt like no ask was silly. I’m absolutely loving this process of learning at @gaada.bsky.social and thoroughly grateful for their support. #AmIAnArtist - not sure, but I am a very full cup

I got up on a stage and told a story about this man - my Daddad - and how he helped me find my own meaning to this word.
I feel mighty.
Incredible evening of amazing stories from wonderful people.

It's Mobile Libraries Day! #MobileLibrariesDay2025
Today we celebrate the vital library services on wheels throughout Scotland.
Sadly today's weather means Leona can't get out west, but we will have the big van outside HQ this morning, if anyone would like to take a look inside!

Also, this was the quickest finished build we had. Made by one of our younger members about 4 minutes into the session! And a very lovely interpretation of Friendship it is too.

and in UK and other countries, authors get lending rights!
Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free”
the library bought it.
which in turn means that the community bought it.
In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.
