Whoever signed off Argyll Street being un-pedestrianised and whoever signed off the new ScotRail app... Scottish Public infrastructure being slowly destroyed. Both truly awful infrastructure projects that don't benefit people. How are people held to account, and what are the consequences?

So far this year over 30 tapes, auditions, applications and interviews, to much rejection (or radio silence)... Then 5 busses come along at once. Freelancing really can be a rollercoaster and feeling super lucky at the moment. 🎢😅

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

Articulate as ever, thank you for being a voice of reason and humanity Zack! Also for those at the back, "Death to the IDF" is just catchier than "may we dismantle & disarm the state funded genocidal war machine IDF that kills indiscriminately and those who fund and arm it, including the UK Gov."

I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead. Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.
