Popped into #Glasgow’s new Uniqlo store on Argyle Street to see the new tapestry made in a collaboration between #Uniqlo and @GovanhillBaths. The tapestry takes pre-loved Uniqlo clothing and, to honour their Japanese heritage and the art of visible mending, transforms it into something completely new with the hand-stitched panels cleverly arranged into maps of Glasgow. If you look at the central panel you can see that it is an abstracted map of Glasgow’s city centre with key details such as George Square, the St Enoch Centre and Glasgow Central Station picked out in different colours, types, folds, and patterns of cloth with the Uniqlo store highlighted in red. In other panels you can see Queens Park and the River Clyde as it winds its way through the city. It is a great way to celebrate how to remake something old into something new thus giving it a new purpose while preserving our heritage, which is exactly what we are trying to do @GovanhillBaths 🥰👏👍!

We are appalled that the Government is once again singling out arts & creative subjects for funding cuts in Higher Education. Many courses have already closed and a growing number are at risk. This attack on the arts must stop now. #ArtsEducationMatters theguardian.com/education/2024…

Jennifer Coolidge’s speech was perfect: “I had such big dreams as a young person, but what happens is they get sort of fizzled by life. Mike White, you gave me a new beginning, even though this is the end, 'cause you did kill me off. Even if this is the end, you changed my life”

@NcherryNorman Crap, just crap

I feel greatly reassured that my country’s environment is secure in this person’s hands.

This is the Secretary of State for the Environment and despite being a ranty and no doubt often boring polemicist, I am actually lost for words.

It was an absolute pleasure Jamal!

Unable to get jaw any lower.
