Glasgow is leaving its dirty, grey, car-dominated past behind. The city's Avenues Project is transforming the streetscape. Little wonder that cycling is up by a staggering 43% in just the past year. Now we need to expand the project and build on its success. www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/scottis...

I look for lots of things in a gym but overly dramatic lighting and insane locker room decor are two core criteria, apparently.

My pretty walk home tonight. If you were as gloomy as Glasgow in winter, you'd have a million lights too.

It's not an album cover but I've always loved this photograph of Ethel Cain. That truck didn't stand a chance against her immovable aura.

This car-free bridge across to the Riverside Museum in Glasgow was only completed last year and it's already a huge hit with cyclists—despite the city's climate, latitude etc.
What sustainable travel modes need more than anything is the infrastructure to support them.

My heart somehow aches at how beautiful today was; the futility of trying to capture that beauty—to bottle it up and take it home. All I have to share is a collection of moments—already memories—and yet I'm still thankful even for those.

In Glasgow, there is a 224-year waiting list for gender clinic appointments.
224 YEARS.
This is institutionalised discrimination. It's unacceptable, it's ruining people's lives and it needs to change.
We have the solution. Time for politicians to act.

The recent broadening of the focus of his music couldn't be better timed. From his personal grief to the collective horror at societies' descent towards ethnonationalism, I'm not aware of any other artist who's capturing this paragidm with such eloquence in one moment and such rage the next.

For Those I Love performing in Glasgow last night. A poignant, raging, climactic exploration of grief. Love with nowhere to go, so music becomes the outlet. Just an astonishing performance from an artist unlike any other and one of the best gigs I've ever seen. A reminder that I'm choosing to live.

Today I had the most unreal urbex at Govanhill Baths. On its day of closure, local residents began what became the longest occupation of a public building in British history. It has yet to brought back into use—except as a potent symbol of the UK's crumbling public services in the neoliberal age.

My quads have just about recovered from biking 22 miles up and down Glencoe at the weekend, but I swear the endorphins are still rattling around.

When colleagues and I wanted to change Green Party policy on HS2, we humanised the effects of the northern legs' cancellation: the increased fares for a Welsh person with caring responsibilities in the Midlands; the increased air pollution for working class communities in Manchester, etc. It worked.

First time at the Edinburgh Fringe but definitely not my last. Anyone got a charger for my social battery?

In my 20s I was a bartender, a barista, a retail worker. I'm proud of those jobs but... I'm so glad I took the leap to go to uni aged 28 to study urban planning and design. Now I'm joining nerdy urbanism tours on a Saturday, because working on my passion from Monday to Friday isn't enough of a fix.
