There are many young people who love their libraries, some are missing ones they used to visit. There’s a chance for them to give their thoughts on the future of library services at one of three 45 min focus groups. - aberdeencity.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus…

All dogs who come to our office are now given the official job title of “director of entertainment”. Last week we averaged 6 dogs a day, and while they can’t answer the phones and do the accounts, they do add to our culture of fun and kindness.

Principled and right. Which is what makes the current Tories hate her so much. They prefer unprincipled and wrong. @carolvorders voice against this awful government has been and can now continue to be an important one.

Lockdown proponents like to conveniently frame the debate as pitching our mishmash of pointless, damaging and confusing restrictions against doing absolutely nothing to protect the vulnerable - 'letting it rip'. Don't let them. There was a better way - the Swedish way.

Next up, it’s a #WINspiration-al session at #SCVOGathering featuring @PregnantScrewed on how Scotland can and must end the motherhood penalty. Fantastic feminist collaborations could be in the future - we think ‘Pregnant Then Brewed’ belongs in Scotland’s public libraries!

This - the greatest European speech on the Hamas murder raid, Israel war vs Hamas, rising antiJewish racism and toxic sham ‘history’ of Decolonisation - is deeply moving. Its decency and moral clarity is striking…

It's almost four weeks since the horrific terrorist attack on #Israel. A lot has happened, the public debate has become heated and confused. Find thoughts from Vice-Chancellor Robert #Habeck in the video, putting the events in context. 📣With English, Hebrew and Arabic subtitles.
