After a fierce battle with breast cancer, Michelle passed away this week, peacefully and surrounded by her family. She was an inspiration to us all, right to the very end. She would want her last words to you all to be “check your boobs!”

@MarianneTaylorZ @heraldscotland What amazing news, well done Marianne, that sounds like a fantastic move.

A shocking lesson in how English colonials see Scotland as a county council:
Speaking to the committee the Minister of State for Immigration: "I wouldn't grant any powers to the Scottish Government that I wouldn't grant to Lincolnshire county council". Caroline Nokes MP

And here she is:

Mary was also a strong supporter of women's education and suffrage, and (appropriately), Somerville college at Oxford University is now named after her. You go girl, etc.

It's time for another edition of #badassscottishwomen. Today's badass is Mary Somerville (1780–1872). Pull up a chair...

[Hilary @Hilary_W]

She went on to study maths and astronomy, in 1835 became the first female member to be elected to the Royal Astronomical Society (jointly with Caroline Herschel), and played a role in the discovery of Neptune.

Mary was born in the Scottish Borders town of Jedburgh at a time when people weren't exactly welcoming women's participation in science with open arms. But she didn't let that stop her.

Look forward to hearing from @HeathrowAirport on why #InternationalWomensDay is being used for marketing purposes.

Am also sure myself/ other cross party colleagues would be delighted to meet and discuss how any funds you might be raising for women’s orgs, can be distributed. https://t.co/J6AnD9gz3a

No it isn’t. This gives them an outlet for their anger, shock and grief and they will take comfort from being with each other. https://t.co/6csZVseYVi

Morning @WIJ_Scotland friends! What's new, we hear you ask? Only a brand new WiJ Scotland survey which will allow us to find out more about the women we represent. PLEASE share & ask friends/colleagues to complete it! Takes just a few minutes of your time!

@Bonn1eGreer @Brexit Bonnie, do tell everyone about this new website https://t.co/DsbbtSQkBD . People can now register their wish/intention to retain their EU Citizenship come what may - research at LSE suggests that is over 30 million of us. Numbers rising rapidly

@Nicolodean @WomenForIndy Thank you!

Just to be clear, 70% - 1.77 million - taxpayers in Scotland are actually getting a tax cut! https://t.co/gXFMxDwkvd

[Ruth Davidson @RuthDavidsonPC]

Not sure these were the headlines Derek McKay was really hoping for. But behind yesterday's sleight of hand, a million Scots got clobbered. #NatTax
