I have voted in the Royal Institute of British Architects elections so I can ‘rest and be thankful’ for all the candidates who are standing for seats/presidency to improve the institute. Good luck from Argyllshire, Scotland. Voting closes at 5pm. PS. Why do we have to vote in the summer holidays?

I’m watching The Great Pottery Throw Down on HBO, and the male judge cries at least once an episode because he loves pottery so much and he’s so proud of the competitors, and it’s quite charming.

‘We’re going to need a bigger bike shed’. Brilliant. Traffic-stopping tech helps Glasgow school’s bike bus on its way theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Our Town flag, in the USA, is at half mast. There are lots of British residents here, of my 8 neighboring houses 6 are British/duel nationality and across the road is a Canadian.

My 95 year old blind mother had to go supermarket shopping for the first time since 2019 as her volunteer organization that shops for her will not be able to fulfill her order next week due to the funeral. She said it was a fun to shop again although not 100% what she bought.

Glad to see my university has jumped on my own personal bandwagon, combining architecture and knitting to create unique patterns. ⁦University of Glasgow⁩. ⁦RIBA Books⁩ what about carrying it? gla.ac.uk/news/headline_…

Area in the UK taken up by: Golf courses = 1,256 km2 and Solar farms = 230 km2 But those Golf courses are a critical part of our financial infrastructure! What have those damn solar farms ever done for us?

The embodied carbon of office fit out with an 8.5 year lifecycle is equivalent to the embodied carbon of the office shell and core. Reduce that lifespan and it can be up to 4x higher than shell and core 😱 resetbuild.com/blog/embodied-…

If anyone wants a chair it looks like the Mitchell Library are chucking some perfectly serviceable ones - Glasgow Libraries could these not have been passed to a community group for refurb/repair?

Carlisle MA Annual Poppy Display for Memorial Day. 4000+ community hand crafted poppies on the town common. This year design is a maze with plaques relating back to local servicemen.#LestWeForget #MemorialDay #Massachusetts

Citizen Petition. Select board on the fence, Fin Com against it . But we did it. Carlisle MA voted to adopt the Specialized Code that means all new buildings permitted after 7/1/24 will be Net Zero. #ClimateAction
