This is why organizing that reaches for relationality is central, not secondary - it breaks the capitalist idea of us as atomized, individual consumers and compels us to act in solidarity with others. And, perhaps more than anything, it's a politics more rooted in cultivating belonging than ideology

Ooft yes that's a howler. Did you see the Still Game one on PRW where Jack and Victor's eyes are black from edge to edge like they've been possessed by demons? Mural department at the council must be an interesting posting

So frustrating, especially when they do sometimes manage to get it right. Aside from the Mary Barbour monstrosity there's some great ones in Linthouse, noticeably NOT in that shite photorealistic style

I know this is only the render, a live artist will actually paint it, they are going to fix the incongruous presence of a bald eagle etc etc. But it's such incoherent shortbread tin garbage! Utterly insulting to reduce a city with such rich social, political and cultural heritage to this mince

Ha I did a similar itinerary in reverse, a guinness in the pot still then a bag of chips then Dick Gaughan. It really is the good life!

The other project, which may in fact take 200 Sammo films to finish, is to knit this incredible jumper designed by the legendary Mandy McIntosh, which features the Glasgow Coat of Arms depicted in Aran knitting. This is the sample and mine will hopefully be identical. 🌳🕊️🔔🐟 👀@glasgowcoa.bsky.social!
