I so enjoyed wandering around, looking at eerie old stuff

The Sunday Edition this week is a fascinating read by @MsABurnside about Glasgow's ghost signs - little waves from the past hiding in plain sight throughout the city's streets. @ghostsignsgla @GlasgowHeritage theglasgowwrap.substack.com/p/ghost-signs-…

Makes a change from "preying all over the place" in fairness

I’m praying all over the place these days - it’s amazing.

Wow. It’s 2024 and I’ve just had to crawl along the floor of this LOT Polish airline to get to the toilet during a flight back from Warsaw as “we don’t have onboard wheelchairs. It’s airline policy”. If you’re disabled and you can’t walk this is just discriminatory.

The average earnings for a woman is £25,500 with less in savings. Resigning when pregnant to not “inconvenience” an employer does not signal decency, it illustrates financial privilege. And to then advocate that mat pay is excessive shows how little you know of women’s lives.

#GMB reports that Kemi Badenoch declined to take maternity leave when she had her second child, choosing instead to resign from her job so as to not cause any inconvenience to her employer (The Spectator magazine)

Anas Sarwar and Emily Thornberry grinding to Uptown Funk was *not* on my Labour conference bingo card

Glasgow was almost home to an extensive museum of Scottish art and design. Julian Spalding considers it the greatest failure of his career. theglasgowwrap.substack.com/p/julian-spald…

This week's Sunday Edition by @MsABurnside is all about the great Scottish Arts and Culture Museum that could have been....but sadly was not. A great loss for Glasgow. theglasgowwrap.substack.com/p/julian-spald…
