No problem, I will focus on the actionable parts. Also, Refuweegee are running a scheme entitled Safe With Me, mapping all safe locations and I believe Glasgow City Council buildings are all part of this.

What can I do suggestions to counter Fascism and Racisim lealet
Join the counter protest - outnumber them
Speak to those around you - friends, family and colleagues
Can your workplace be a sanctuary

Active Bystanding tools

If you feel safe to do so:

Speak to the person being a harassed as though you already know them

Ask if they'd like to walk with you - go into a shop

Something similar happened to Trudies teddies! But, she forgot all about them as soon as she heard, 'Dinner'.

@kamack.bsky.social Not my best work, but I think I've managed to pull it off. Couldn't have done it without your wonderful t-shirt. Can't find the link to attach it.

@clydesidewild.bsky.social I'm needing your help again. Can you help identify these wee guys and those balls? All are on the same rose bush.

An orange bug with black dots, not unlike a ladybird. It's on green leaf and some pink flowers area the bottom of the image.

The same bug as before, but it's brown with black dots, sitting on a green rose leaf

Drain update, just been to check on it. Its currently full of someone's hedge trimmings. And sporting a lovely little euphorbia. Looks like it might be blocked, so I will steer her away from that occasion stop.

A drain with a euphorbia growing out of it and hedge trimmings around it, also at the edge is a miniature schnauzer eyebrows and head peaking in.

One of my favorite shopping bags, always get commented on too.

Have you seen my other favourite? It's in the lane next to the Carte D'or Building on Gordon Street.

Graffiti in Glasgow, depicting justice on her knees, gagged and bound. A male figure stands beside her, looking an awful like Netanyahu.

Its always a doggo.

Someone's stolen his hat, he had it on the other day.

Scottie dog statue with a traffic cone on his head. He is also wearing a red suit, rather than being black he has been painted like a Schnauzer- white beard and eyebrows whilst the rest is dark grey.

A great start to the day, the second-hand bike I bought has been delivered. It looks great. I've been looking for something like this for over a year. Now, I just need to get out on it!!

Oh, I saw this one in Victoria Park yesterday. It reminded me of the Clyde campaign during the Commonwealth Games.

Scottie dog statue in Victoria Park Glasgow. Black Scottie dog, with his pink tongue showing, wearing a turquoise and white Glasgow Warriors t shirt, standing on a grey plinth which is on green grass.

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm at Civic House right now. Such powerful work.

The Rememrance Wall by Iman Tajik.
The artwork sits against a red brick wall with green windows and resembles a stonedyke made of clay tiles incorporating individual handprints

A sample of colourful artwork by Nii Sackey Vanderpuye, 6 portraits of varying colours yellow, red, blue, green, pink, and purple. Each featuring a person and an animal who have migrated. For example the lady in green has a grumpy expression, but looks as though she is pretending - and she has a puffin sitting on her head. The puffin is also wearing a cone hat with a pompom.

Well, that score was yesterday not Easter time when the flags appeared. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Here's one from yesterday, most certainly not football related.

Glasgow 13/06/26. Two police officers looking at a male holding the Saint Andrews Cross flag with the words Stop The Boats written on it. Nugget.

@clydesidewild.bsky.social Your help is needed (again) My young spinach plants have become host to something. Can you tell me what it is?

And who knew, but also the inspiration for Princess Leia's hairstylist!

I was going to say, or a lot of money invested. But, I noticed you are now writing in Japanese - I think this is factually incorrect (see image).

Bluesky pop up advising me that Dan Sohege is writing posts in Japanese now, and asking if I too want to write in Japanese.

Here they are..

Shocking what we have to put up with.

The heron was nearby, looking like a stealth hunter!

Just been back to check, theres two breeding pairs/nests. However, I only saw one wee baby swimming about on its own - favouring under the shrubs. It's grown!!!

Wee cootlet swimming about on a pond, over hanging shrubs about its wee red head!

Jillian@bookworm17· May 16

Oh baby, and I thought the cootlets were unfortunate. Here they are in a swimming lesson.

An ESOL student today brought some (delicious) homemade biscuits into class to share with everyone, a very generous act.

A small heart-shaped plate with Kurdish cake/biscuits on it. The biscuits are oval in shape and covered in seeds.

I've just bought myself this, as you will no doubt agree, it's perfect for me!!! 🙃

So, they weren't in their wee nest 😟 Because, they were out on a swimming lesson!!!!
