lauracarreira.bsky.social Edinburgh Old Town Development Trust Norton Park workersobservatory A fantastic couple of screenings of On Falling to round off the recent #LocalCinema series, first at Norton Park with director lauracarreira.bsky.social in attendance, the second @ CWC in Wester Hailes. Both were in collaboration with workersobservatory, thanks to Xabier for representing! 💪

Saw this magnificent and powerful film yesterday in #WesterHailes at the Community Wellbeing Collective space. Organised by the Empowering Multicultural Communities Alliance & discussion hosted by workersobservatory, it was a really challenging afternoon. Thank you lauracarreira.bsky.social >

Solidarity with London riders. Fortunately we've not heard of this happening in Scotland but please let us know of anything you notice. The crackdown is cruel and futile: thenational.scot/politics/25336…
