Time to open the festive kraut!

I’m curious to know how many people know who this vision in pink is? She’s been our tree topper for as long as I’ve worked here but a lot of the younger members of staff who’ve since joined have no idea who she is.

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

This update includes information you may find upsetting. Please take care when reading.
From today, it is with a heavy heart that we announce trans girls will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community.
There will be no immediate changes for current young members, but more information will be shared soon. Most adult roles - including unit helpers, district helpers and administrative support - are already open to all, so we are confident that no volunteers will have to leave the organisation.
Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups. Over the next few months, we will explore opportunities to champion this value and actively support young people who need us.
We stand in solidarity with trans girls and women.

For St Andrew’s Day, it has to be haggis 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Two plates on a table, each with haggis, mashed potato and mashed turnip. Also on the table, a bottle of whisky and a can of Irn Bru

Jake informed me that I haven’t posted nearly enough photos of him recently, so here’s his best blue steel.

For those of you in the UK, especially if you are a UK citizen, can you please take part in the consultation on changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement) that were just proposed by the UK government. We need as many people as possible to reject these proposals. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Earned settlement

The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

I spent most of my childhood with skinned, scabby knees and just got on with it. As an adult, however, two skinned knees has just about taken me out this week 🙃

Last time Scotland made it to a World Cup I ran home from school to watch their first match - just had to wait the 28 years for that to happen again 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

For the first time in 28 years, Scotland will be at the World Cup!

We're going to the world cup! A photo shows McTominay scoring the best goal in footballing history, an overhead kick.

When people tell you running is good for you - don’t believe them! Not pictured - the scraped up hand and arm.

The only thing that can make this better now is getting an EarpFest ticket later…
