I used to work in IT for credit card processing. It was boring. There are initial mathematical checks done on credit card numbers. Somewhere out there is a credit card system, authorising transactions, with a function called NumberWang. It was a slow afternoon.

Tories overstate net zero cost by nearly £500bn in apparent spreadsheet error. Same error amplified by right-wing think-tanks, press It suited their ideological leanings. Future historians might say - planet earth and human life was shattered by a spreadsheet error.

I will say that whilst it's taking me forever to finish everything, I'm getting quite good at pattern alterations so that my clothes fit better.

My fellow eccentrics: There are so many shamelessly evil people in the world. Be shamelessly eccentric and spread joy. You want to dance down your street? Do it. You want to talk to yourself on the bus? Go ahead. You want to wear an outfit someone described as "quirky"? Why not? Be happy. Be you.

I fucking love people who become more themselves with age. Stranger taste. Clearer boundaries. Louder laugh. Less interest in impressing random people. Watching somebody slowly stop auditioning for the world is fucking beautiful.

Good to hear The Skinny has been saved, but some abysmal news that the owners of St Margaret's House has severed notice to everyone there. Huge blow to the increasingly thin fabric of artist support in Edinburgh.

Now what we can do, because again this is a grand national tradition, is rudely nickname people in a way that is *obviously a nickname*, and one that we, as culture, apply pretty universally to people we do and don’t like. it’s fair game because it’s equal. bsky.app/profile/mark...

I originally planted this in the wrong part of the garden and had to transfer it to a pot and place it in a sunnier part of the garden because I forget how short Scottish summers are but the dahlia finally bloomed, and honestly this colour is so lush! 🧡 🌱

Dear Edinburgh folk, Onion Press is looking for submissions for a community art project about the yellow towers we're all obsessed about! yellowtowers.cargo.site/about
Submissions

Yellow Towers is now taking responses from the community to showcase on this website. We’re looking for artworks in any medium that respond to the wind turbine jacket foundations in the Port of Leith. 

We are looking for paintings, drawings, writing, sculpture, textiles, audio-visual work, whatever you like! You don’t have to consider yourself an artist to participate. We’d love to hear your thoughts about the towers – will you feel sad when they go? Maybe you can’t wait for them to be gone?  You can write to us, send audio recordings, drawings, anything. Let us know how you would like to be credited, or if you would like to remain anonymous!

We are also working towards a physical exhibition of this collection. We hope this exhibition will happen in January 2027 – just in time to say goodbye before the jackets move on to their final location.

Submit your thoughts or artworks using this form.
