Men's wheelchair basketball final is Australia/England and the people next to us have an England flag. Needed to clarify where we're from and that obviously we're cheering for Aus #CommonwealthGames

A photo from the stands off the 3x3 basketball court where the wheelchair basketball teams are earning up. In the foreground is a Tunnocks Caramel Wafer balanced on the railing

At the SEC watching the 3x3 basketball and the men's on foot bronze match is gripping but then, worried tone from the offspring: "oh no we've lost eyes on the mascot" #CommonwealthGames

Finnie, Glasgow 2026 Comparably Games mascot, who is legit creepy looking

It's endometriosis. It's always endometriosis. When will we stop sounding surprised and get some research, treatment and policy approaches?

Clip from the BBC news front page: photo of a woman and the healing "why since women are being driven out of the workplace by an illness"

They missed a trick not just pouring the tarmac under this car and making it a sculptural feature

A newly tarmacked road, fresh and black other than around a red car which was not moved and is sitting on a slightly lowered island of old road surface with lots of weeds at the side. There is a note under the windscreen wiper reading YOU NEED TO MOVE.

I saw so many beautiful things in Orkney in the last few days, but it's this sticker juxtaposition that I most want to share with you, Bluesky, and I think that says more about you than me

A wooden dresser displaying china plates. Above it is a metal sign saying "the big party parade of favourite foods" and stuck to it are two stickers saying respectively:"Products are not prepared in a nut free environment" and "Free Tibet"

Kate@rebelraising· Jun 20

Absolutely

A photo of a lamppost in Scotland with a Progress Pride sticker on it. On the socket is a Sharpie cartoon squirrel and the words "this squirrel is GAY"

Bad photo from the bus, looks quite extensive

Helpful that they've put the sign at a height where dogs can see what they're being told to do.

tall metal garden gate with a sign at human thigh level saying DOGS PLEASE CLOSE THE GATE

Absolutely unforgivable levels of parochial ignorance from @wearequeeraf.com below. What the actual fuck.

A screenshot from Queer AF email

The Green Party, which has been buoyed in recent years by the popularity of its gay leader Zack Polanski and his anti-genocide, pro-trans rights messaging, also saw considerable success. At time of writing it has won hundreds of new council seats in England, gaining more new seats than any other party bar Reform, as well as at least two mayoralties in London and at least two seats in the Scottish Parliament where it previously had no presence.

It's breakfast time, apparently

A black cat sitting on an internal half wall, a black and white cat below her on a table, and a small brown dog below her on the floor. All are looking imploringly towards the camera

On the other hand, this line up was very effective

So yesterday I saw the Adam and Eve window at St Mungo's cathedral for the first time and why are they like the cows illustrating cuts of meat in a steak restaurant?

Two stained glass windows with weird pinkish figures that look like steak restaurant illustrations what can I say

There's always this classic

Average female height in different countries illustrated on a y axis whose first label is 5', but illustrated using toilet door figures of whole women. "India" comes up to "Latvia"'s waist.

Well the Carsie Blanton and the Burning Hell gig on Saturday night was *amazing* (rage and joy in the right proportions) and the kitten has been devouring their album ever since

A cardboard CD album slip cover of Everything Is Great, featuring a collage of absolute bastards looking happy. The upper left corner is missing, with cat toothmarks round the gap

Jonny is living her best life in a patch of sun directly in front of the TV's remote receiver thing. Yes that is her actual paw.

A fluffy black and white cat lying stretched out on a wooden table in front of a blank TV screen. One of her paws is stretched towards the camera so you can see the ridiculous tufts of fur between her paw pads.

Very little in my life brings more joy than having a cat who plays fetch, but only with green Sprite bottle tops

A fluffy black and white cat peering round a doorway, with a green plastic bottle top on the ground in front of her

Fifteen years ago my son uttered this immortal line. He'll be 19 this week and he still answers every question according to what you said, not what you meant.

Screenshot of a Facebook post which says: "notes that, when you are three years old and it is 7.30pm, the answer to "Are you ready for bed?" would ideally not be "My teeth are shiny and I'm ready for anything!"

Reading a BBC article about "red vs blue" and internet ignorant adults overreacting to/misunderstanding what are basically memes, to find this captioned "Some of the posters were made with AI, making them appear slick and professional". Case in point, Marianna Spring?

A half red, half blue vague image, with the words "anyone you see from the opposite jump their pressure them to record and then send me a dm to post BE VIOLENT" written across it.

Bit what country is London in, The Guardian?

Screenshot from the article which reads "are carrying out searches at what it understood to be residential addresses in London, East Kilbride in Scotland and Cardiff in Wales"

Screenshot from their charities commission page, showing that they have three employees, of whom I've if paid between £70k and £80k, and one between £100k and £110k. Presumably the other one does all the work.

Oh hello fellow gingery eyebrow dog

A little dog looking deep and thoughtful sitting amid long grass in with the sea in the background. She has one big ear standing and one flopped over, ginger eyebrows and just a very cute face.

Kate@rebelraising· Feb 5

There is not enough cute in the world to... aww baby

A slightly bedraggled long-haired mostly black cat with white whiskers, eyebrows and paws, looking slightly ashamed, but not as fucking ashamed as she should.

The Water of Leith in all its "... that's the main river of a capital city??" glory

José y Maria by www.everettpatterson.com

A cartoon showing a young man and woman in a scruffy street. The man is on a pay phone, the woman, who is pregnant, is sitting on a penny in the slot donkey with an "out of order"sign on it. There are other cool details and references.

Kate@rebelraising· Dec 23

I did, that's what caused her to change from this pose to the one above

The same cat curled up in a ball with her tail over her face

Kate@rebelraising· Dec 23

Look at this majestic beast

A very fluffy and slightly dishevelled black and white cat lying down with her tail in the front of the shot looking huge. She has long, long white whiskers and white eyebrows.

Okay so exactly what happened to cause a need for this notice?

A display of football related real calendars. A handwritten note is taped too the stand, reading "Rangers and Celtic calendars available please ask member of staff"

I got a new drill, kid#1 got new rollers for their wheelchair power unit; they're making a tiktok and I'm making tea.

A young adult, wearing a stripey top and a blue bandana, is sitting on the floor wielding a power drill to take screws out of a black wheeled device. The parquet floor is scattered with tools and a cup of tea is in front of them.

Anyone know whether the original plans for the Leonardo's fence show any reason for a JCB to be grubbing up brambles in Arneil Drive, on the other side of the path entirely? #Edinburgh #ActiveTravel #FuckingLeonardos
