Moved out of Edinburgh two days ago so I've transitioned from righteous local annoyance during august to evil tourist making it hard to get to Sainsbury's

Packing for moving house is the worst because you don't want to leave it all to the last minute but you do sort of still need to live in the place you're living in until you stop living there so you can't do _too_ much in advance

Just now realising my tickets for moving to Australia are on the exact day on which I'll have spent as much time in Scotland as in Wales and I'm having a minor existential crisis

Choosing to take from today inspiration from the fact that you can keep struggling to meet your life goal for 10+ years and eventually the universe will just go "ah fuck it" and let you. I am sure Mr. Burnham will single-handedly fix the Labour party and the UK

It's incredible how I've gone nearly my entire life without giving a shit about football but now I'm muttering "we've got mcginn, super john mcginn, I just don't think you understand" under my breath every five seconds

As much as Anas Sarwar as First Minister would be deeply horrible for several reasons this is one of many reasons why the Labour collapse was so frustrating to me. You mean we're going to be in government for nearly 25 years huh?

Genuinely so happy I was one small part of electing her 🎉🎉🎉 I don't mind Robertson but I'm very happy to see Lorna Slater back in Parliament and over the moon for our first constituency MSPs 💚💚

As always I really enjoy Wales only being paid any political attention when we're perceived as a testing ground rather than an actual place with actual people affected by our politics

O me of little faith!! Get fucked Farage, this is literally like the perfect possible conditions for these racist cunts but they still managed to lose by 11 points. I sincerely hope this is the start of something special for plaid now. Deffrwch Cymru cysglyd... www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl...

Having a flatmate who sleeps through alarms is great because you have to try to make the judgement call on whether or not to check if she's died or just overslept

Now, I don't want to imply that there's a good time to start to feel cold/flu symptoms, but I'd argue that the day before a fairly expensively ticketed event for which you spent too much money on getting a new dress and heels to wear to it is a particularly bad time

It's such a mixed blessing being a Scottish fan of women's sport seeing England get really good bc it's great that so much attention is now put on women's sport in the UK and it's so cool seeing all the girls get inspired but on the other hand get fucked Red Roses, o Canada terre de nos aïeux!!! 🇨🇦🍁

I love how both New Labour Prime Ministers have their One Thing that they think will solve everything (Brown's federalism, Blair's ID cards) and it almost makes me happy seeing one of them finally get to live out their dreams. This is of course outweighed by the fact that I fucking despise Blair but

It just straightforwardly *insane* how much political chatter in the United Kingdom is about the next general election, an event that is a long way in the future, and how basically none of it is about 'uh, this policy agenda doesn't look adequate to the scale of the inherited problem'.

Best part of getting the Eurostar instead of flying to and from Brussels: relatively quick, lower stress, decent environmentally Worst part: realising you live in Scotland and need to get to London and they're doing Carlisle diverts so your return travel has been going for 9 hours and is ongoing rn

It's quite small in comparison to the rest of his insanity but I love that in his 26 years on this Earth he's managed to share a party (at different times obvs) with Lidia Thorpe and Bob Katter. What a political rollercoaster that man has been on

Was a brave girl today and went for a run and you know what? Upon reflection I have to say I still HATE RUNNING I have no idea why you'd do this unless you also feel unsafe cycling without having full control of your grip or indeed you do not possess a bike

I can't go out cycling because I've broken my finger but I refuse to go running because it's the worst thing in humanity so I guess I will just Sit Down until my finger is better
