I found a petition to ban smart glasses in public spaces that needs a bit of a boost, if anyone else feels strongly about this: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
Petition: Ban the use of smart glasses with recording capability in public spaces

I was at a comedy night the other day and during the crowd work one of the participants told the host their pal was using smart glasses to make tonnes of money on TikTok. Mostly filming dog walking but still, I knew they’d be in Glasgow but hate hate hate that they’re normalised in such a way

I'm also chuffed to have been asked to write the introduction to Gentlemen of the West. The new Polygon editions of her books are gorgeous with art works by Joan Eardley on the front. Here's a preorder link for them all. birlinn.co.uk/contributor/...
