Last spring, inspired by @meatspacepress, I wrote a zine on the impact of AI in social spaces.
It's colorful, fun, incredibly short and looks more like a Tumblr post than anything else- and here's (hopefully) the link to download it!

It’s all go at the co! (as my mum would say).
Brutalist tea towels are now available from my website. Perfect gift for the concrete lover 🖤
Designs are Anniesland Court, Met Tower (former College of Building and Printing), and Gallowgate Twins.

Use Grammarly, they said! It'd 'improve' my grammar, they promised. Alas! My 'jameen' becomes 'James,' 'violence' is 'force,' and any critique is too blunt for the algorithm. With its inundating suggestions, Grammarly, as a pedagogical tool, can smother critical thought.
White British academics exhibiting “know your place aggression” in full force. A student launches an uncoordinated plea against a system that is failing & trapping international students across the UK and they mock her for forgetting that it’s DPhil & not PhD at Oxford.
We are horrified by the coordinated acts of violence and terror towards refugee, migrant and Muslim communities across the UK. This has been years in the making, stoked by our politicians and media. Our thoughts are with everybody affected.
🚨BREAKING🚨
@BrewDog have *sacked* one of our members for challenging senior management for allowing the EDL - a known fascist organisation - to meet in their workplace, the biggest pub in London
We will be doing everything we can legally & industrially to support this member
I've always struggled with explicitly asking people to "please share" on social media. It makes me anxious that I'm being presumptuous or tacky.
But please share this story, because public attention may be all that stands between Ali and deportation.

@JamieBGall I have been on several 0 hour contracts when tutoring at Uni, and almost every month they were paying me at least a week later (if not a month).
How common this experience is is disgusting
🚨#BREAKINGNEWS Dagny Benedict a 16 year old non-binary student was beaten to death by classmates in Oklahoma. The school didn't call authorities or an ambulance. Dagney died the next day. 🚨

Junior doctors didn’t waste billions of taxpayers’ money on dodgy contracts.
Junior doctors didn’t sell off our health service.
Junior doctors didn’t cause record-high waiting lists.
The Tories created this crisis. Solidarity with junior doctors striking to save our NHS.
@Schiphol@Schiphol and quick PS- I would probably try to deconstruct racism among your airports security, since the agent wished me to get deported! Deported!
@Schiphol Just want to let the airport security guy checking documents for tonight's Glasgow flight that did not want to let me in the flight cuz, to him, I had the wrong documentation, that I just went through border security with no bother! 1/2
@Schiphol Yes, as both the email from the Consulate General of Italy in Edinburgh and https://t.co/8HFYPF6XSg was telling, you do indeed only need to be settled and have a valid ID to get to the UK. Who would have said that! 2/2
So this year, I am going a bit deeper in my learning of spatial statistics.
If you are wondering why geospatial professionals need to learn statistics, read this blog I wrote last year.

I will be sharing resources I find in my journey in this thread.
This Hogmanay, First Minister @HumzaYousaf has wished everyone a very happy new year.
He looked ahead to next year and how, together, we can build a fairer, wealthier and greener Scotland in 2024 and beyond.
