CRITICAL Baroness Jenny Jones has tabled a rare "fatal motion" to stop a Tory amendment to Public Order Bill. Tories are changing ‘serious disruption’ of other people’s day-to-day activities to mean ‘anything more than minor’. Lords opposed it. Tories using secondary

After release from custody today I was given bail conditions not to protest on any road in the UK. Marching is a legal form of protest and has always been a part of our democratic process. Our freedom and democracy is under threat from this government.

Another example. People understand water quality 💩 They understand abstraction 🚰 But there’s little public understanding of just how badly, how thoroughly we’ve physically changed our rivers, and what that means. We can change it back, but we’re running out of time to fix it

Less than 90% (with Missing The Mark). The rhetoric on school attendance gets ever stronger. Banners are posted in schools, telling YP that every minute missed will damage life chances. Parents are sent scales which equate low school attendance with blighted lives.1/

The Titanic sub billionaire rescue mission is entering final hours of hope to find survivors. Meanwhile in Italy & Greece, search & rescue to save people at sea is criminalised. Pia Klemp is among those facing jail for rescuing migrants #r4today #FreePia morningstaronline.co.uk/node/71822

- Please donate to hold the British Museum accountable for the erasure of Chinese feminist poet Qiu Jin - I want to talk about the importance of poetry in a Chinese cultural context and why this makes the removal of Qiu Jin's poetry especially problematic. Please boost! (1/?)

To quote the great philosophers- "Well... duh"

Starting off with the technicalities, the Lendbreen Tunic is actually from the Iron Age, not the Stone Age. As far as I know, we don’t have any Stone Age clothing still in existence. The oldest garment we have is from the Bronze Age and is called the Tarkhan Dress.

To add: the arts in Scotland already relies of ludicrous amounts of free labour; on artists creating opportunities, spending weeks writing funding applications, going through endless bureaucracy to be allowed to beg for a tiny budget on which they're supposed to move mountains.

Arts funding is Scotland is dire. I wrote a poem ‘Shoestring’ because that’s how it is.

🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Scottish Government is breaking its promise on arts funding, and trying to reimpose a £6.6 million cut to Creative Scotland. Scotland's arts and culture needs backing, not broken promises. Please join me in signing the Campaign for the Arts petition. campaignforthearts.org/petitions/scot…

Absolutely brutal closures that will only hurt the worst off. Used to go to Stepps library as a kid and played 5s at the Iain Nicolson Centre. It’s a big council, you can’t just go somewhere else. You’re shutting people out of exercise and culture. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

Dire warning from Tom Fletcher: "I fear that the worst is yet to come... The past week has been a test for humanity & humanity is failing." World leaders must act to protect civilians from large scale atrocities before it's too late.

Did my first craft Market this weekend! Thank you so much to everyone who came along and bought something from me!
