Full interview out on Sunday at 3pm.

Wonderful opening evening #PBF2024 with the wonderful Maggie Ritchie, Alan Bissett and Jess Orr in the glorious Paisley Town Hall - stuck for something to do this weekend? Come enjoy the literal talent at Paisley Book Festival!!

Delighted to be an ongoing part of the Paisley Museums research and ethics panel, and a guided tour of the building (scheduled for opening next year).

View from Coats Observatory is spectacular!

I'm done with the othering of trans people. I didn't choose to be gay. I'm sure life would have been easier if I had not been. Anyone who expresses a desire to define from what is the norm is, by definition, hugely vulnerable - and brave. Enough. Support, don't vilify or other.

This may be an unpopular view, but if the misogyny bill is going to have an aggravation for misogyny then logically it will have to be capable of applying to trans women, if the evidence supports the inference that the offender did in fact perceive the complainer as female. 1/

I remember when we marched to say 'not in my name', but this is criminal and not in anyone's name. Netanyahu should be arrested and tried in the ICJ. Three cars, all known to the IDF, all targeted separately. Delivering nothing but aid. Despicable: bbc.co.uk/news/live/worl…

The tragic waste of life is down to an act of aggression by Putin and Russia against Ukraine a sovereign state. Russia has brought war to Europe. We should all stand with Ukraine and support them to defend their country and defeat Russian aggression. Ukraine is paying a heavy…

Is this okay? Daragh

This moral collapse is infectious.

Western politicians, media outlets and public figures made themselves complicit by supporting this atrocity or refusing to speak out.

Their moral authority rots in the rubble of al Shifa hospital.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know.

Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect.

This is unacceptable. Genocide right before our eyes: BBC News - Israel Gaza: Journalists injured in al-Aqsa hospital air strike

Simon Pitts, STV chief executive, was paid over £900,000 from the company last year – and only a small fraction of that would settle this dispute. He and the STV board needs to listen to members and come back to the table with a fair offer.

Stand united with the people who bring you the news you need to know. This is a fair ask for a cost-of-living increase in salaries as STV continue to make millions. We stand with our NUJ members at STV as they say 'I deserve decent pay'. NUJ NUJ Glasgow NUJ Scotland Organiser

Getting really excited. I'll be in Waco, Texas on 8 April to witness the Great American Solar Eclipse. Bucket list experience for me with 4min 13secs of totality as daylight turns to night when the moon completely covers the sun. I imagine there will be tears and whoops of awe!
