Outdoorsy softboy dork hailing from New Edinburgh in Space Scotland. Fuck candles optional but always welcome. I have sometimes been known to perform embarrassing Star Trek-themed parody covers, which makes me Team Adam I guess?

Bi he/him.

Probably don't have too many followers who know Gàidhlig, but I recently made an online Scrabble for it. It's in early beta, and I accept constructive criticism!

Scotland must always remain a safe, welcoming country for migrants and refugees.

German satirical artist Jacques Tilly has been sued in Russia by Vladimir Putin for defaming the Russian state by making carnival sculptures in Germany — outside Putin's dystopian jurisdiction — so it would be a real shame, if that made us share his artworks and embarrass Putin even further.

This is probably the last time we'll see Matt Goodwin in Manchester, so we'll say goodbye with this picture of him sulking like a man baby behind Gorton and Denton by election winner Hannah Spencer as she makes her victory speech.

@nusher @cstross a resurgent Greens would be grand here. The SNP remains an uncomfortable coalition (we all want Indy, but not everyone is a social democrat), and without the balancing weight of the Scottish Greens they’ve been lurching right.

On the upside, as a recent Scottish transplant from Australia (who also have preferential voting) I’m at least relieved I can vote for Greens MSPs without having to worry about the strategic voting bullshit required for FPTP UK elections.

@cstross I’m only at year three so I’m not truly qualified to answer yet, but I’m deeply invested in the results 😅.

Things I thought would matter but absolutely nobody gies a fuck aboot: my Scottish grandpa, the Munro ancestry, my general enjoyment of tartan.

Things I didn’t realise would matter but are vitally important: IRN BRU, hating the weather no matter the weather (I still get “he doesn’t get it” looks for liking the cold), knowing the correct time to use the phrase “blowin a hoolie”.

Look I know there's a lot of *waves hand* going on right now, but it's come to my attention that William "Worst Poet Ever" McGonagall composed in 1899 an elegy to "The Ancient Town of Leith" in his own, inimitable style. So if you care to gather round, I shall now retell it for the whole class 🧵🗣️🪑

@HighlandLawyer It helps me avoid them that they sell the blandest pasties north of the border. Need a pint of the brown just to taste of food.
