Time to share again this piece - "Political Theology and Public Service". (Bella Caledonia was not 100% at ease running it - but as both @HumzaYousaf and @_KateForbes had religious backgrounds, it did so out of respect for the spectrum of debate.) bellacaledonia.org.uk/2023/02/21/pol…
I live by Columbia. Tonight I went for a walk & saw 10+ blocks rapidly barricaded, dozens of police vehicles flying by, large groups of NYPD in riot gear gathering. I study protest in E Europe. What I saw tonight was some of the most wildly disproportionate policing I've seen 1/
#April sees the Feast of the martyrdom of St Donnan of Eigg, on 17 April. Early medieval Iona seems to have had multiple feast-days celebrating martyrs, and so our thoughts have turned to Port nam Mairtir for the #nameofthemonth: iona-placenames.glasgow.ac.uk/names-of-the-m…
Public service reminder to folk commenting on Kate Forbes - Free Church positions on moral questions are almost always identical to official Roman Catholic positions (on contraception/divorce more liberal) so think before writing something about FC you wouldn’t write about RC?

But many of those defending Kate Forbes happen to be her constituents. Why? Could it be that they've formed their opinion of Kate based on actual first-hand dealings with her? Rather than accusations by journos and social media rants?
@radicalanthro @AuntieSyzygy See this from @alastairmci that is really explanatory. bellacaledonia.org.uk/2023/02/21/pol…
@ReprievedSoul @alastairmci @bellacaledonia @HumzaYousaf @_KateForbes John is currently an elder in the Church of Scotland.
@alastairmci @HumzaYousaf @_KateForbes I jest :) all part of the carrying stream...
@alastairmci @JoeSmithAgain @HumzaYousaf @_KateForbes I am very much for nuance, and I appreciate the reminder on that. I'll have a think about how I engage with that in mind. Worth bearing in mind he also had a fairly robust view on double talking as well though (not directed at you ofc).
@alastairmci @Rokewood So true. This volume looks strong and I am hoping it will be replete with spiritually grounded and empowered Hebridean women, of the kind you, I and many others have known. acairbooks.com/product/books/…
I think what some people fear most about Kate Forbes is her integrity. Think about it.
@MhairiHunter The fact is Mhairi folk in Scotland are concerned about the role of FM. Most of us have little interest in the internal politics of the SNP per se. Who leads our country and chooses vital ministerial roles matters to us all not just SNP members.
This man is terrifying theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…
8/ All photos etc here are mine, taken a few blocks from my home. I know a lot of tonight will get lost in a swirl of misinformation - I hope this is at least useful to folks who know/trust me, as a first-hand account of some of what unfolded.
@ARLinklater Absolutely. And I think that's a point missed by many. Not having a formal faith doesn't mean that there's not an equally powerful belief system at play.
The replies for this are telling, I think there's a growing number who can see through this line, to what it actually is - inflaming the culture wars, mixed with a rehash of purity politics Vs self ID - anything less than full compliance to the new orthodoxy is heresy.
As we’re now seemingly going to do the “but can a Christian be First Minister” bit again, here’s one I made earlier. Valid criticism of Kate Forbes was never and still isn’t about ‘Christian faith’ - it’s about her specific views that mean to her, LGBT people are deemed lesser.
What part of 'vex not the stranger' do they not understand?
We speak to a Syrian man, at an immigration enforcement reporting centre in Loughborough, who tells @darshnasoni he was detained today and has been told he will be deported to Rwanda.
My 21 year old constituent was detained this morning. I understand he was subject to a #RwandaScheme notice for some time. He was taken to a detention centre in Middlesex as far as I know. They do this so that any support networks you have find it impossible to reach you. 1/2
Were “Quaker” and their companions, the army horses who bolted in London, exercising conscientious objection to military conscription? Perhaps not consciously, but 8 million horses were killed in World War I, and nature continues to be brutalised by war-so who would blame them?
How to do misogyny, lesson #6392 Kate Forbes voted today for the establishment of safe zones around abortion clinics. Bravely modernist Farquharson suggests she believes 'That ghouls should be allowed to stand in the street outside abortion clinics muttering incantations'.
NEW: Whoever leads Scotland next, it can’t be Kate Forbes My column in @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/2fdc8a…
I see the sexist witch hunt against Kate Forbes is in full swing again this morning amongst some of our male commentariat. Cynical misrepresentation of her positions positively dripping with misogyny.
I had a dream that I was travelling through a vast and barren post apocalyptic wasteland. But I found an abandoned garden center and was able to score a load of plant pots. I was well chuffed
Kate Forbes literally just voted to *prevent* "ghouls standing in the street outside abortion clinics muttering incantations" But why let facts get in the way of some lazy prejudice?
“What message would a Forbes first ministership send? That single mothers are sinners? That sex outside marriage is wrong? That ghouls should be allowed to stand in the street outside abortion clinics muttering incantations? That most of us in secular Scotland are going to hell?”
The last proper tour I did I took my bike on trains as tour bus, on days ‘off’ (usually I would teach and run errands) stayed in a friends old caravan, I HUSTLED and am still recovering from the burn out 18 months on.
Today, after eight months of grad school stipend and penny-pinching on the gigs I’m still taking, I was finally able to pay down the last of the credit card debt I accumulated over the course of two years of (ostensibly successful) full-time touring. theguardian.com/music/2024/apr…
