An honour and a privilege to work on these new Scots LGBT-inclusive resources from @tiecampaign, with poets and pals like @Shane_Strachan, @ashdouglasscot and Mae Diansangu.
Even great privilege to write about two icons of the Scottish game - @rachelcorsie14 and @zandermurray!

We are now a Boat Yard for @PaperBoatsWrite #Paperboats campaign. Paperboat Writers is a collective of writers, focused on the environment.
They are aiming to deliver 1,000 paper boats with 1,000 messages of hope to the Scottish Parliament on 23 Nov to coincide with COP28.
ALT The image shows a light blue background with white text that says '1,000 Paper Boats, 1,000 Messages of Hope. Add your Voice.' At the bottom right, there is an image of a paper origami boat with the words 'we will rise' above and 'paperboats.org' below.
