The polls are open. Remember that politicians are servants of the people. Today thousands of them across the UK are asking for your vote.
Your vote is precious; it grants power and it removes it.
Use it and remind them never to take it, or you, for granted. #GE2024

I just learned about a wonderful project aiming to bring mobile education to displaced children who would otherwise miss out.

This is one talented little finch! 🎸

Let’s keep Loch Lomond natural & beautiful. The last thing it needs is a waterpark, a monorail & a whole load of new buildings!

I spent a lot of my early childhood in the area & the thought of this kind of development there breaks my heart.

Please share & lodge an objection!

[Ross Greer @Ross_Greer]

Over 81,000 people have joined the #SaveLochLomond campaign, lodging their objections to Flamingo Land's destructive plans

Now Balloch's new Community Council has put in its own blistering objection.

Lodge your own objection today 👇

I was so gutted to hear about this. Would truly be deeply saddened to see it go. 😔

[Cat McLaughlin / WildCat Designs @wildcatdesigns]

Really sad to hear that one of my fave pubs in Edinburgh, the Black Bull, may be closing. The rock bar has been a safe haven for alternative folks for as long as I can remember. 💔 Was in there on Sat & there was a great atmosphere.🤘🏻

@pjayvee38 @SecretEdin What an excellent find!

Kindness costs nothing. ❤️‍🩹

Marketers please note: It would be super helpful if I could opt out of Valentine’s emails. For some of us it can feel like unwelcome reminder, particularly if for example you have been single for a while, recently went through a difficult breakup, or lost someone dear to you.

A few of my zines will be available at Edinburgh Zine Fest at @fruitmarket this weekend!

Looking forward to checking out alllll the other zines too - high five to @edzinelibrary for making it happen! 🙌

[Duke Street Design / Cat McLaughlin @dukestdesign]

It’s #CervicalCancerPreventionWeek so I’m just gonna leave this here. ❤️

[Cat McLaughlin / WildCat Designs @wildcatdesigns]

A reminder that (if you have a cervix!) a cervical screening test can save your life.

I don’t say this lightly: my family has been directly affected by cervical cancer - trust me, the minor inconvenience of a smear test is preferable!

@JosTrust has lots of useful info.

[Duke Street Design / Cat McLaughlin @dukestdesign]

Looking forward to the Edinburgh Zine Fest next month, hosted by @edzinelibrary at @fruitmarket on Sat 10th & Sun 11th February! 😎

It’s a bit of a ghost town around here! So I recently decided to give Threads a try. You can find me here: https://t.co/Tb1oYyxRDj & follow me on the ‘gram as @dukestreetdesign 😎

With each day that passes, more lives are lost, and the humanitarian catastrophe worsens in #Gaza if the violence doesn’t stop. Sign the petition to demand a #CeasefireNOW https://t.co/SSAow5Cu3I

I love this kind of lovely serendipity that happens in life sometimes.

[Cat McLaughlin / WildCat Designs @wildcatdesigns]

I really do love the beautiful autumn colours at this time of year. 🍁 (Only improved by wearing matching Converse!)

[Duke Street Design / Cat McLaughlin @dukestdesign]

I wrote a piece about the Great Tapestry of Scotland on the topic of visual culture for my MA studies, and recently updated it to coincide with the tapestry’s 10th anniversary. Thought I’d share it here too.

[Cat McLaughlin / WildCat Designs @wildcatdesigns]

Decided to publish my updated essay on the Great Tapestry of Scotland as it's the tapestry's 10th anniversary! I hand stitched the unicorn design, inspired by the beautiful work on display & Scotland’s national animal. 🦄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
