@ABRStewart I am an excellent cook and if you ever want a wee lesson from a friend or to cook together over a video call, I might be up for that :) glad you had so many high points this year. Weirdly, so did I, after getting out of a very stale relationship!

@ABRStewart Yasssss!!

[MeghanMakesTunes @fiddlemegmac]

Despite everything, this was one of the best days in a long time. Here's to old friends and feeling understood. And adventure! @guektiengieline

In her early 30s Anne Boleyn had already been charged with committing adultery, incest, AND conspiracy against the king.

What have YOU done?

In 1837, Dr. James McCune Smith graduated from the @UofGlasgow making history as the first African American to earn a University medical degree.

Today, I made history as the first Black graduate of the @UofGlasgow PhD of Immunology. Thank you to my village!

@DrSGreenwood I had aches and pains for a while after it, maybe 2 weeks, maybe 3. They did go away. I also have hyper mobility! What really lingered for me was the effect on my voice, I took about 2 months for it to go back to normal.

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

One of the darkest days for women’s rights in my lifetime. Obviously the immediate consequences will be suffered by women in the US - but this will embolden anti-abortion & anti-women forces in other countries too. Solidarity doesn’t feel enough right now - but it is necessary.

Being the only single childless person in my office is wild. My coworkers were detailing their busy weekends with family shenanigans and when my boss asked me what I did I said "went to the farmers market...that's pretty much it" 3 of my coworkers gasped and 1 cried.

Many many congratulations to Mhairi Black and partner who got married yesterday

Wishing the both of you all the happiness in the world

@Gtilleymatthews You are very gifted. Such art!

[Miriam Brett @MiriamBrett]

A terrifying and meticulous breakdown of the inquiry into the Grenfell fire, which killed 72 people. The disregard for lives of people living in an unsafe building, the absence of accountability at any stage, and the corners cut throughout need to be read to be believed.

[JamesKelmanDotNet @JamesKelmanNet]

The new novel by James Kelman, God's Teeth and Other Phenomena, arrived from the printers on the 6th June and is now available directly from publisher, PM Press. It will be available in bookstores as soon as possible. Until then it can be acquired at <https://t.co/9z70J24x0V>.

@katgrngr Freakin love placebo.

[James McEnaney @MrMcEnaney]

Already seeing people (including teachers!) sharing this as if it's just some interesting intellectual prompt.

In reality it's the latest stage in a vicious and ongoing rehash of the anti-gay bigotry and moral panic of the 80s/90s.
