My youngest sister is very talented.

Have you ever seen a more tree-shaped tree?

UK Quakers commit to continued, explicit trans inclusion. "...toilet facilities labelled with a 'female' sign remain available to cisgender women, trans women, and others for whom those facilities best align with their lived experience."

We should really work together, hand and hand, to focus all of our community’s poorly-suppressed and totally ruthless bullying energy on the single demographic we all agree actually deserves it: Harry Potter Adults in the year of our lord 2026

as any trans person will tell you, in britain "dignified" is code for "you aint getting healthcare"

Currently contributing to in-progress zines on blind and deafblind people across history and Disability and Divinity. I really can’t recommend these zines or taking part in DARK enough; it’s an opportunity to understand our history as disabled people for free

Ok, I think I'm back in control of my account. To anyone who followed me in the last month, I'm sorry to announce that the porn bot that managed to take over for a bit is no longer in business.

Another June, another Edinburgh Pride. The acrobats in the center of the picture were doing really cool stunts the whole way.

1 goal down in the first minutes. This is more like the Scotland I'm used to.

Sunny view from Crammond Brig.

Tonight's dinner: bangers and mash, with fried onion, leek and spinach and saurcraut. Served with a sweet rhineland white wine and english mustard.

evangelicals have finally created. the golden calf. from the classic bible story “don’t create a golden calf”

it was all fun and games humoring these upstart parties when the worst that was at stake was a tory getting in but at this point minor parties like labour should really stop running if all they're gonna do is to split the vote

There's a lot of reasons I love the Gene-Stealers, but one of the big ones is how characterful the sculpts are. Love these gribbly fellas.

Continually feeling vindicated in my distain for Dawkins. That was intially based entriely on vibes, so I'm just lucky he turned out to be a piece of shit.

This is not my shocked face.

The Meddows looking bonnie in the sun.

The same thing has happened in Canada under MAiD. This is why I am so damn relieved the Scottish Parliament did not, despite campaigning from people who did not listen to DPOs, allow this. Without a society that genuinely values disabled people, including neurodivergent people, that has genuine

“Failed to learn” isn’t accurate. “Actively decided to continue to risk the lives of poor, marginalised and disabled people because the alternative is their pals in industry potentially making slightly less obscene profits” is.

Abortion bans kill pregnant people because abortion is healthcare.

Gumbo! I've been craving cajun food, so I've tried to put together something myself. Now to find some way to get a Po'Boy...

Colonialism is inherently appropriative

Just in case you didn’t know, sex work is work, sex workers are overwhelmingly marginalised - women and/or queer folk, many are migrants, many are single parents, *many* are disabled and/or chronically ill, and all Workers deserve respect and safety. So glad to see a decent representation ❤️

The actual story here is that, as this government shuts down legal aid to access the labyrinthine asylum system and cuts legal routes to safety, people fleeing from horrendous abuses are increasingly at the mercy of people traffickers and crooks. But nope, anti-immigration BS only from the Beeb 🙄

Favourite Bible Verse (wrong answers only) "Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not soe, For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow, Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill mee."

Favourite Bible verse (wrong answers only) “Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. “The future is all around us now, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation”.

if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

Landlords provide housing the same way kidnappers provide missing family members

Excellent paper on why LLMs by nature “hallucinate” answers/give inaccurate information they essentially just make up, and why the newer models are if anything more prone to do so than older ones arxiv.org/pdf/2509.04664

Really happy with how this sump tentacle ended up.

Found this delightful scene just outside Burntisland.

Went for a cycle along the Fife costal path to take advantage of the very nice weather.

Made haggis, neeps and tatties for dinner, with a whisky sauce.

www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2589971... I am disgusted and furious - this is a shameless profit grab that is an utter disaster for grassroots arts and art activism in Glasgow. Project Ability provides essential accessible studio space and support for disabled artists. Sharmanka houses the work of

I suppose it’s useful that every few days a Reform politician will slither out and hiss something like ‘we would make it so you’ll be fined for owning an unpatriotic car’ or some shit, lets us dispense with the idea that anyone who ends up voting for them is anything other than a massive wanker.

It's taken a while, but I've finally started painting again.

Just to be clear where I stand. :)

Scotland has some gorgeous skies.

Happy New Year everyone. I'm not going to lie, this one looks to be a long, bleak year. Let's focus on helping eachother make it through.
