Big applause for Minister @mareetodd.bsky.social speaking up for marginalised communities, particularly refugees and trans people, at #SuicidePreventionScotland conference. Very sad that it feels refreshing to hear a politician say this right now.

In floods of tears. Finally a chance to explora, scrutinise and see if there is a safe way to give people in Scotland choice at the end of life.
This is only stage 1, but it will be emotional and difficult for many. Thoughts and solidarity with anyone finding this hard for whatever reason.

BREAKING: MSPs have voted in favour of the general principles of Liam McArthur's assisted dying legislation - 70-56. One abstention. A historic moment, the third attempt at legislation passing the first hurdle. Still a long way to go before assisted dying becomes law.

Thank you to every MSP who has spoken with kindness & care today. A very emotional debate on assisted dying in the Scottish Parliament.
It’s 14 years this week since my mum died, so it’s been a hard watch for me. I trust every MSP to vote with their conscience and with constituents in mind.

Gym question: do different countries use different units of weight on the machines? I’m in a gym in turkey and I’m not able to lift the same as I can at home, having to go down 10kg (I think kg?) Is that a thing or am I just weaker abroad?

Would hosting this be a breach of the UK’s Online Safety act?
Shockingly there’s no way to report this on the Spotify app?!?

Trump says he's ended govt censorship and brought back free speech in America.
Apart from the White House press room, of course. Which he's filled with his own propagandists.

I’m unwell, I’m awake and already feeling sick, so thought I may as well watch the #SOTU address. Already regretting my choice and he’s not even appeared yet. He wants it to be ‘huge’ so this could be a terrifying speech.

Snow in the east central belt! (Good name for an album?)
It’s tiny and very unlikely to lie. But still, I have some silly hope that my son will see proper snow for the first time.
