Land is life. To whom do we ultimately pay rent, wayleaves, public handouts? Here⁩ ex- Cabinet Secretary Peter Peackock ⁦@CommunityLandSc asks⁩: “How can it possibly be just that 0.025% of Scotland’s population own 67% of its private rural land?” https://t.co/YgIFQ24swO

Friday's Slam with @IAmLoudPro. Such a great lineup, competitive yet totally collegiate. Grateful to be getting more opportunities to share my words this year.

This has been and gone (I am terrible on twitter) but it was FIERCE AND WONDERFUL. So much talent, passion and variety, was such an honour to perform alongside such amazing poets.

THIS. LINEUP.

I couldn't be more excited for our Loud Poets Grand Slam Final this August; the finalists competing are some of the most exciting poets performing in Scotland today.

Tickets for the live event & livestream are pay-what-you-can; book here: https://t.co/bGR4LcTNyb

Catching up on @openbookreading groups work since a Thursday and this beautiful line of writing from our @WelcomingEdi women (facilitated by @GodfreyBeth) caught my breath - “My mother’s blessings whisper through my bones./ Winter is no longer.” Bring on Spring!

[Marjorie Lotfi @marjorielotfi]

She won! That @GodfreyBeth went and WON the @StAnzaPoetry slam last night. Brilliant performances all round, too. What fun! Bravo all🎉

1/ While disappointed by it I respect ruling of @UKSupremeCourt - it doesn't make law, only interprets it.
A law that doesn't allow Scotland to choose our own future without Westminster consent exposes as myth any notion of the UK as a voluntary partnership & makes case for Indy
