'Kirkwall Fair.' (1888) Although Arthur Melville was not regarded as one of the Glasgow Boys, he was seen by them to be a kindred spirit. A year after painting this work on Orkney, he left Edinburgh and settled in London, although he often returned to Scotland to paint.

If you use AI you're a scab pass it on
Received an email re a wedding speech. So I give them a ring.
Me:”Hi you emailed me about writing a wedding speech.”
Punter:”Hi, eh I’m going to use AI now, but thanks.”
There’s a pattern emerging here, folks…

I try not look at reviews of Jungle Commandos because I am a perfectionist and I take any kind of criticism to heart (think ‘omg I’m a complete failure I’ve let everyone down’ at the smallest thing 🙃) but this was lovely to see and makes me feel really proud:

This is an absolute opportunity for the left (including the Greens. It would include Your Party if they weren't quite so incompetent).
There is a space opening for anti establishment narratives that include Reform as part of the political establishment. A left seen as insurgents could do well.

Britons have become less likely to see the Tories and Reform UK as very different, as Suella Braverman becomes the latest Tory to defect to Farage's party

Filling the Vacuum, Anti Fascist Action, 1995
![The ambition of militant anti-fascism is not simply to see the Far-Right defeated and removed from working class areas: the ultimate solution is to see them replaced there. The BNP's attack on Labour is from the Right and is racist, ultra-conservative and anti-working class, Our primary role is to guarantee that a successful challenge to Labour comes only from the Left. Furthermore, and purely from an anti-fascist point of view, as the best insurance against any nazi renaissance, it would be the duty of militants to offer protection and encouragement to any genuine [anti-Labour] working class revolt.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r2udccg2d5ci7ed4oci3aap6/bafkreiexkzt3xljfyhzgvze3zwqqrbuo6idf27tmrqa7x2r2fwgn5obnym@jpeg)

UK comic cons that run Potter programming please take note.
It cannot be made clearer.
If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
