After a hellish year, very chuffed to be graduating ("in absentia") with a distinction from my MA Art & Social Practice @ThinkUHI 🥳I'll hopefully publish some of my final project/dissertation online if it's interesting to folk...

Lecturers jobs are at risk at UHI Shetland. These cuts will be devastating for lecturers, for students, and for the wider community! @EISFELAShetland #CollegeCutsKillCommunities Join me in taking action by signing their petition: megaphone.org.uk/petitions/coll… via @megaphoneuk

@CalSleeper Thank you!

@ChippedRedNails I can advise that the information I gave you recently is correct and that the cot would not be allowed for health and safety reasons.

Good morning everyone, it's Mikey here throughout the day to answer your Caledonian Sleeper related questions. 🚄🛏🚄🛏

@CalSleeper Thanks for getting back. So even if travel cot can fit on floor it is not allowed? This contradicts previous advice (screenshot below) so just want to double check thank you

@ChippedRedNails Hello there. Our bed sizes are 25.6 inches wide by 70.8 inches long. Unfortunately for health and safety reasons you would not be able to use a travel cot on the service.

Arts funding is Scotland is dire. I wrote a poem ‘Shoestring’ because that’s how it is.

NEW: The Campaign for the Arts has launched a petition, urging @AngusRobertson and the Scottish Government to deliver the £6.6m they promised to Creative Scotland in February. Especially now, Scotland's arts and culture needs backing, not broken promises. campaignforthearts.org/petitions/scot…

🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚨 Shocking news: the Scottish Government is breaking its promise on arts funding. In February, thousands joined our campaign to speak out against a £6.6 million cut to Creative Scotland. It worked. Ministers abandoned the cut. But now they're bringing it back.

🚨 BREAKING: In a speech later this afternoon, it is expected that Suella Braverman will claim that ‘simply being gay, or a woman, and fearful of discrimination in your country of origin’ is not sufficient to qualify someone for protection. This is absurd. 1/🧵
