Happy Day! Creative Scotland have approved matchfunding of my imminent #crowdfunder! Launches Friday 3pm. "It's a Sign!" will be an exhibition and publication about the found, defaced, debased, hilarious and incomprehensible floods of signage in our lives. text: Ken Hollings design: Killian Dunne
#goodmorning #photography Stand by for a Crowdfunder announcement to bring "IT'S A SIGN" to life!
At last, a big revelation. I’m going to be showing ”It’s a SIGN!” at the Wyllieum from the 14th of November. An exploration of found, debased, deranged and inexplicable signage across the UK and beyond. Writer and broadcaster Ken Hollings will be collaborating with me on words and thoughts.
4th July in Perth: anniversary celebrations of the CRASS/POISON GIRLS concert. What's the legacy of hardcore anarchism today?
Is it hot? Then let's get cool in the pool! Oh, you mean the redundancy pool? #NOMORECUTS at #DJCAD

SOS SAVE DUNDEE UNIVERSITY from its coprophagous management. NO MORE REDUNDANCIES. We are already on our knees with chaos and workload. Write to anyone you can! #savehighereducation #savedundeeuniversity
Spare a thought for the Dundee University staff who were told yesterday that their jobs are at risk, who today have to talk to prospective students and parents at an Open Day. They are expected to paint a confident picture. It will take quite a feat of imagination. @ducuuo.bsky.social @ucu.org.uk
#kraftwerk in Edinburgh last night; wonderful. Here's my tribute, a song they didn't play last night. Made with Lucy Smith and a cast of volunteer musicians from across the Continent. vimeo.com/gair/europe?...

UK Election fascism summary considered as a massive hangover: Scotland has wet itself. England has soiled the bed completely. Wales has also soiled itself and announced it wants to leave home. Neither Scotland nor Wales can find the front door or even the window to let fresh air in.
Good evening. Plans for the Bervie Bunker fruit and flowers stall are racing ahead. Sir Christopher Hinton has a suggestion. "Understand the problem. Obey the rules. And if you have ANY doubt, Seek advice."
Good evening! There's not enough about #auriculas on Bluesky. This is a pity. These hyper-hybridised descendants of mountain primroses show extraordinary variety in a strictly defined repertoire of forms. They have been produced and cared for by generations of amateurs, loved by miners and weavers.
