Our booksellers are real people. You might not like what we stand for, but you have no right to threaten our humans or make us feel unsafe at work. Today’s latest threat, pinned to our doors after weeks of harassment, had us choose safety & selfcare. We’ll be back tomorrow.

A reminder that the year is 2021. A bookshop fearful of opening. Shameful.

⛅️ Scenes from the sky Check out the amazing #progress we’ve made on the ground by seeing it from above. Our works continue with a significant amount of track laid and two tram stops now under construction. Watch as a drone flies you through the #TramstoNewhaven route 👇

Some female eiders, a creche of eider chicks and a spontaneous layid egg casually lounging on the much used platform on the Water of #Leith. The first egg on the newly installed platform. What a great story. #SOSLeith #edinburgh #wildlife
Spotted on the Water of Leith walkway - a speckled wood butterfly. Increasingly common in Eastern Scotland apparently.

❗ URGENT APPEAL FOR VOLUNTEERS ❗ Our volunteer availability has fallen roughly 50%. Hospitality reopening means that many of our volunteers have gone back to full time work, which is absolutely fantastic, but leaves us extremely short on human-power. emptykitchens.co.uk/volunteer
