Live on the Isle of Skye. It's pretty damp. I'm an artist, & probably best not to take me too seriously.
Prefer rest of nature to humans (seriously).

Anyone else out there who misplacedly chooses this high-stakes time of year to tell people exactly what you think of them?

If not, you will live to see Jan 1st.

Gisele Pelicot should named as the Time person of the year. For bravely waiving her anonymity in one of the most horrific rape cases the world has seen, to take a stand for survivors and shame the perpetrators.

Instead they’re featuring Trump, a rapist, for the second time. Obviously.

Anyone else sharing global whiplash at pace & extent of events around world? Astonishing developments taking place every day (Syria! Georgia! S Korea! Bangladesh! Romania! France!) even as existing crises fester (Ukr; Gaza; Sudan), and many more barely rate a mention (eg Libya; Vzla, Yemen; Burma)🧵

I had a wonderful Erasmus experience - 6 months of study in Utrecht with 30 others. Horizons and possibilities expanded. I am so sad that my children and their friends do not have the same opportunity.

💯. Erasmus exposed our young people (inc my daughter) to different perspectives and teaching styles that sharpened thinking.

And making lifelong friends with folks from multiple countries builds bridges and understanding.

How little effort can you put into the horror-that-is-christmas before your other half becomes officially disappointed? Asking for a friend.

I love the recorded voice on Inverness buses. It is so dour, that if she said "The next stop is the River Styx", I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

The Petition asking the government to rejoin will not have the desired effect

A petition calling for an inquiry will make the case to rejoin

So please sign

Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union
Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

Latest paper from our work on satellite-tagged golden eagles in Scotland, showing considerable intra-regional variation of home range sizes. Also, tiny ranges in Outer Hebrides (closed sub-pop) vs large in NE Highlands (many unoccupied territories due to persecution). www.mdpi.com/1424-2818/16...

Hi Ruth, just wanted to draw your attention to the lead West Highland front page article on eagles and crofting. There are so many issues with this reporting and human priorities that I struggle to know where to begin.
