A lovely man and a lovely legacy. Please share with anyone who these bursaries could support.

From now until the conclusion of their studies, the Stuart MacQuarrie Bursaries will provide vital funding to five @UofGlasgow students who are care-experienced or otherwise without family support. Donations in his memory are welcome to help the fund: givingtoglasgow.hubbub.net/p/MacQuarriebu…

Excellent thread and article from @Taj_Ali1 - “it was colonialism that aided Britain’s economic development. If a debt is to be discussed, it must be the reparations owed to its former colonies for the exploitation they endured”

Thousands of years before British colonial rule, the Indian subcontinent was home to the Indus Valley civilisation. This was a civilisation known for its sophisticated urban planning system, which included the world’s first known sanitation systems. 🧵

Bid for a signed copy of Ice Cream Boy and you'll be raising money for Children in Need and getting a personally signed book to read too. Ice Cream Boy's set in Glasgow and Tuscany, is 'imbued with warmth' and isn't written by a celebrity!

I'm taking part in the fabulous #ChildrenInRead appeal this year! If you're in the UK and you'd like to bid for a signed copy of Ice Cream Boy, here's the link: jumblebee.co.uk/auction/detail…

The indignation of Glaswegians is palpable.

Swearing at work is particularly common in north of England, judge says. - @markbrown14 theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/n…



This might be my No1. Never met any dog walker who thinks it’s acceptable behaviour and, crucially, never seen anyone doing it. The bags appear like magic. So deeply weird.

How do you feel about people who do this?

🧵Next week, you will see people using something called Benford's Law to try to prove election fraud. ⛔️These people are wrong⛔️ I am a scientist who has published on Benford's Law. Let me tell you what it is and why what they are doing is mathematically incorrect. 1/

Billy Bragg - Talking With The Taxman About Poetry (Elektra, 1986) “The difficult third album” actually goes down easier than ever, with pop-oriented tunes like Brunette and Levi Stubbs’ Tears - but Union and Youth get under the skin, too. Stirring stuff! #5albums80s4

For those who don't know, I'm originally from Angus and Violet Jacob's work has always meant a lot to me. I'm nervous about sharing my version of this but here we go: ‘Halloween’ by Violet Jacob (1921), tune by Jim Reid.
