This from the BBC website on what Kate Forbes' supporters think. Unfortunately for them, the real world is hoaching with those who want the right to choose, rights over their own bodies, queer people, and so on. It's not going to wash.
Recently I ticked off something on my bucket list. Just a small something, but it's wonderful to be so surprised by life. I think that's what I'd tell my 20 yo self: life never stops amazing you, so don't worry about having achieved everything by age 23.
Daniel Day-Lewis #botd - photographed by Annie Leibovitz, 1992
*taps sign*
Whatever questions are raised by the possibility of Humza Yousaf quitting, Kate Forbes is not the answer. We need leadership that takes us forward by considering every one of us worthy of the same equal rights, not someone who rejects that as well as a woman's right to choose.
I rarely speak on politics here, but Kate Forbes as Scottish FM would be a truly terrible decision. She does not represent a modern, forward-looking Scotland, and she certainly does not represent anything I stand for.
We are discussing craftism at @ahrcpress @Activism23 network workshop & how craft work is essential tool in repertoire of activism of women’s organisations in the past & present. This woman knits in red every time men speak at meetings & green for women. 🧶
The Long Neolithic persists in the living current of folklore. It persists in a thousand pilgrimages, a thousand ritual actions of stone upon stone. The Long Neolithic lives in us. Age after age, the story of the stones refuses to end. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday
Today's #ootd is this 1924-5 evening dress. It is quite minimalistic for a 20s outfit, but the lack of color is made up for in the complex geometric pattern worked in beadery and sequins. It almost looks like computer circuitry. #Fashionhistory @metmuseum
Shade card for dress fabrics, made by Friedrich Bayer & Co., Germany, 1896. Victoria & Albert Museum.
It was created by weaving a gauze fabric with twisted warp and weft threads and embroidering the design with heavier threads that were sometimes dyed different colors, predating Italian buratto lace by several centuries
What is the oldest piece of lace you have ever seen? This delicate gauze head cloth with a pattern of zoomorphic heads was painstakingly made in the Chancay Valley between the 12th & 15th centuries (north of modern-day Lima, Peru)
You get to pick one thing to be good at every week - working out, cooking, no screens, kicking ass at work, clean house. If you try to pick two things, you get sent to the back of the line and get no things.

This from the BBC website on what Kate Forbes' supporters think. Unfortunately for them, the real world is hoaching with those who want the right to choose, rights over their own bodies, queer people, and so on. It's not going to wash.
@joforjoanne Absolutely. If Forbes gets the nod I definitely would look elsewhere to vote.
@kariebookish There’s a real joy and benefit in achieving things one has wanted to for a while, no matter the size, and I’m glad you’re getting to experience that too.
@kariebookish Woo! Congratulations! I got to fulfill a big bucket list item earlier this year (transcontinental train trip across the US) and it was amazing and also so revitalizing to remind myself how much more life still has to offer me, even as I get older and more disabled.
To avoid a repeat of my recent 'rush to get everything done for print deadline' I'm trying to do regular reviewing and designing cards in advance. There may be a few months between us consulting on a product and changes to actual stock - but at least I'm less likely to burn out!
All of this would be going much more smoothly if the SNP had addressed their burgeoning transphobia problem during the 2016-2021 session.
The most popular MSP in Scotland? Just because the Times/Mail/Telegraph quote her daily doesn't make her popular.
NEW: SNP MSP Fergus Ewing says that the best candidate for SNP leader and First Minister would be Kate Forbes. He says she's the most popular MSP in Scotland. "There is no doubt whatsoever in my mind."
Pride is protest. To exist, to live as LGBTQ in Scotland, is an act of defiance against almost every columnist, against every political party who use us as a deflection from society's real problems, from complex causes of suffering they draw comfort from not affecting them.
@wgsaraband Totally agree, as an SNP supporter she is not for me🏴🏴🏴
@wgsaraband If she becomes SNP leader i’ll wish the party well but cancel my membership and just support Independence from a position of political homelessness. I’ll never do blind support for a party just because they’re the Indy party.
@wgsaraband That's my worst fear that she gets in. She will drag Scotland back to the dark ages.
@wgsaraband Homophobia, transphobia, misogyny... and let's not forget the way she spoke about single parents. The list of people who could feel safe under her is incredibly small. Who wants a FM who is looking down her nose at so many folk?
Stop calling KF the adult in the room. Her leadership bid last year was an absolute disaster given that it was hers for the taking and she ruined it more and more with every single interview. Also, being homophobic does not make you a safe pair of hands, ffs.
Whatever questions are raised by the possibility of Humza Yousaf quitting, Kate Forbes is not the answer. We need leadership that takes us forward by considering every one of us worthy of the same equal rights, not someone who rejects that as well as a woman's right to choose.
@kariebookish I have some significant stressful stuff and needed something light. I read The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules and it was silly and worked for what I needed. :) freshsqueezedreads.wordpress.com/2024/04/18/the…
A conversation with an AI Socrates ... remind me, which of his surviving works will this have been trained on? #BadAncient
Soon, students will have CONVERSATIONS with Aristotle, Socrates, or Plato rather than just reading about them. This is how AI is REVOLUTIONIZING education.
@kariebookish I've been enjoying this series: goodreads.com/en/book/show/6… probably neurodivergent female MC plus magic and cool dog. The audiobooks are well-read so you can knit too
@kariebookish I read enough romance to be able to recommend something, I thought optimistically. On second thought, nothing without childhood baggage .. Olivia Dade's Spoiler Alert series perhaps? Or Sarah MacLean's Hell's Belles series?
