[Joseph Fasano @Joseph_Fasano_]

My 8-year-old niece wants to be a writer. This is her first poem.

"My soul is not made of plastic."

[Nikita Bassi @NikitaBassiSNP]

Humza wearing traditional South-Asian clothes when being sworn in as the new First Minister of Scotland is so wholesome and lovely to see.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Tonight I want to share a true story from the 1970s, when thousands of people became convinced there was a *vampire* lurking in London’s Highgate Cemetery.

This story has everything: grave desecration, dueling magicians, mass panic. Let the reader beware!

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

Love this coining of ‘Kenmured’ as a new verb to denote people power and principled protest - an appropriate tribute to the spirit of Pollokshields and the Southside. @sabir_zazai

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 To all the people of Scotland - whether you voted for me or not - please know that being your First Minister has been the privilege of my life.

Nothing - absolutely nothing - I do in future will ever come close.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[Trans Safety Network @trans_safety]

Sunak is willing to create a constitutional crisis out of a hatred for trans people.

[Lavender Lime Literary (Subs CLOSED) @lavenderlimelit]

We never cease to be humbled by the sheer talent of our poets. This issue is no exception, and we can't wait for the launch of Freshly Baked on February 1st. There's still time to submit until the *15th!

[fifth wheel press @fifthwheelpress]

[Stonewall @stonewalluk]

The Gender Recognition Reform Bill has been passed by 86 – 39 at the Scottish Parliament by MSPs!

This is a victory for trans and all human rights in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍⚧️

Thank you to all of you who emailed your MSPs, your support has been invaluable ❤️
