If you ever have to get top up insurance for a young driver, don't bother with @Veygo Tay crashed my car 3 weeks ago. These jokers havent even got it out of storage yet. £750 excess, no customer service, no sense of urgency. It is so bad it borders on a scam.

Are you a black Scot? (either a native Scot or settled Scot) Or do you have friends who are black and scottish? One of my phd students is researching black Scottish experiences and would love to interview you. If you're interested, drop me a message and I'll get some info to you

Knowing for the past few weeks that this moment was fast approaching didn’t make it any less heartbreaking to hear the news early this morning that Janey had died. Janey Godley truly was a force of nature, and one of the funniest people I have ever known. I was able to visit her in the hospice a couple of weeks ago and though she was fragile, she still had me in stitches. Janey was also incredibly kind. And she made the world a better place. A bond was forged between us in the darkest days of Covid when her famous voiceovers of my daily briefings went viral. In the toughest of times, she made people laugh - and that was precious. She did more that that though. In managing to project the serious public health messages of my briefings to a much wider audience than I would have managed alone, she helped save lives. The photos on this post are from an event we did together last year - it was a special night. I was so proud to call Janey a friend and will miss her hugely. My heart goes out to her family and many friends - they are in my thoughts today. I know Frank will have been there, holding the door for her as she went - with a tear in his eye, as I have in mine. RIP my friend ❤️

The transcript of my final interview with an Italian "expert" reads me saying that I found her practice 'adultocentrico' to which she responded babbling about how she usually dealt with adults, by way of excuse!!!! Her work altered the course of our whole lives I marked my card

So much false rhetoric about the voice of the child. Institutions are adultist and have no interest in hearing children's views bristoluniversitypressdigita…

Bloody hell could someone get nhs Scotland to fix its 111 hold music. There's about 60 seconds of horrendous, noisy static interruption over the already hideous hold music. I've been on hold nearly an hour, it's after 2am. It is making an already stressful wait godawful.

I had 15k followers when musk took over Twitter. I'm down to 10k now and minimal engagement. I post and might get a couple of rt's and one or two replies. It's appalling how much he has fucked it all up.

I was trying to get an Uber A man came up to me to tell me his mom’s favorite color was fuchsia We crossed the street chatting about South Africa I asked him to tell me about Kamala Harris He sat down while I fumbled with the mic, took my phone, and recorded a Spike Lee Joint

Oooh propaganda. How could we do that when Westminster controls the purse strings, Holyrood's not permitted to operate with a deficit. The answer is quite simple cut us loose for god sake but don't treat your readership as though they were gullible fools. #ScottishIndependence

This trying to blame Scotland for UK cuts, austerity, Brexit and everything else that has rendered the UK a veritable economic basket case is the new unionist attack line. It will be prosecuted mercilessly and quite shamelessly...

Great intro!: special issue explores 'how the construction of "modern" maternity—a racialised and class-based construct, defined in relation to safety, risk, medical management and supervision—has often taken place in tension with the principles of ... reproductive justice.'

Literally my chest pain guy that turned into an emergent heart Cath over the weekend who then kept apologizing for having to call in staff to literally save his life.

This is a huge blow to the arts in Scotland. If the government doesn't find a way to support the sector, we're going to lose a huge source of support and expression for large groups of people that the country will diminished without. creativescotland.com/news-st…

Colsnaur this morning.

When you invite a friend to dinner, but have long covid, so completely forget you invited them to dinner....

Wow. Isn't this kind of creepy and intrusive? What happened to respect for bodily autonomy?
