iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

used to live in an attic flat just along from this one. the floor was thin and i was QUIET hopping rug to rug not to make any noise as sometimes my eagle-eared 87 year old downstairs neighbour would slowly come up to the flat at 1am and rat-a-tat-tat against the door with the end of a broomstick

If you walk west along Doune Gardens in the North Kelvinside area of Glasgow, you may notice something odd. For no obvious reason, the buildings suddenly change and its name becomes Doune Quadrant. So, why does this happen? Cont./ #glasgow #glasgowhistory #spitewall

a guy tried to road-rage me last night in a traffic jam in the centre of glasgow (charing cross) - actually had the nerve to come up to my car window and shout at me. kind of proud of myself for calmly winding down the window and telling him to f off and read the highway code partridgin' it

This picture from a Red Cross photoshoot in 1918 is an uncomfortable reminder of the time when Glasgow had a racially segregated hospital. A wee thread... 📷: Library of Congress

i appreciate that there is finally apparent pushback on bluesky to the notion that data centres universally "consume" water (the situation is much more nuanced in important ways) but the nature of some of that pushback is fairly putrid

Category is Books in Glasgow is in need of shutters to protect the shop - and presumably anyone who might be inside - from the people who keep smashing the windows. It’s a gem of a queer bookshop so if you can support them, please do!
