Hi - thought I'd introduce myself here!

I'm a Portuguese-born, Scottish-based abstract painter (and lapsed writer) working from Edinburgh since 2015. I'm politically active, live with my husband and our two black cats Scott and Zelda, and became a gym rat over this past year. #art @bsky.art

Bluesky pals, here's an early preview exclusive:

Painted these A4-sized abstract koi fish with vibrant Japanese watercolours + fine liner. Truly some of my finest work! So freshly done I haven't even signed them yet.

Any takers before I list them? £180 each or £300 both, get in touch (UK only) 😊

If Ian Murray can lose his seat, Lothian East probably isn't guaranteed for Labour either. Total wipeout.

Labour cannot, with any credibility, continue to impose authority over Scots and our right to decided our future.

If history teaches us anything is that attacking & downgrading international human rights & protections is the one assured way to make far-right goons go like "aw shucks, we've done it lads, no need to spout hatred anymore 🥰🥰🥰"

Overwhelming establishment media in the UK lining up in defence of a massive racist who was found to be an harasser because she's transphobic and all they care about is this fucking culture war against a tiny minority of people who are publicly treated as guilty (of something) until proven otherwise

Scientific biological reality simply states that:

Trans men are men
Trans women are women
Transphobes are cunts

"Biological males!!! Biological females!!!"

And you're biological cunts who are half the human beings that so many of the trans people you're relentlessly attacking are
