Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh Campus This project is for students, staff and visitors to Heriot-Watt University's Edinburgh Campus. Situated on what was the Riccarton country estate, our beautiful campus is home to a variety of habit...

Having long since fallen in love with the magical power of wildlife ID apps like Merlin and iNaturalist, I am thrilled to have reached the lofty heights of being able to set up projects in the latter. If you're someone who frequents Western Edinburgh, do join in:

Hello David, that's wonderful, thank you so much. Really though, I genuinely enjoy your photos and am looking forward to being back on campus soon now that spring is....springing. 😀

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your excellent photos. Just in case you're not already doing so, may I invite you to add your HWU campus sightings to iNaturalist? I set it up as a project recently, to enable the creation of a campus-specific biodiversity dataset. www.inaturalist.org/projects/her...

I do wonder will the wholesome meet cute on one of the many delayed trains heading North along the West Coast Mainline today result in an epic love story. Absolute eavesdropping joy. He's from Scunthorpe, she's from Edinburgh. He brought drinks, she brought snacks. They brought hours of chat ❤️

According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle.

This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.

Just on my way home from seeing him in Glasgow, absolutely incredible (and a great band! Some of those guitar solos 👌). I hope he'll be playing Hampden Park (big stadium) the next time he's back.

Oh my, she is a beauty! Every time I get sad that my e-bike is too big and heavy for me to bring with me when visiting my parents in Stockport, I shall remember to look this up. Thanks! (Obligatory photo of my bike, in return)

This is so beautiful and clever.

On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power.

Well said.

Left in the dark: how the recent court ruling has affected trans people Since the UK Supreme Court ruling in April 2025, being themselves has become more difficult especially for trans women.

Delighted to say that the following article made it on to the Best of Bylines. Thank you @itsjoshmilton.bsky.social for giving me the confidence to write it and to @northwestbylines.co.uk for publishing it.

British surgeon Nick Maynard, who has just returned from volunteering in Gaza, explains to #GMB viewers how Israel confiscates all baby formula that doctors like him try to take with them.

Why does Israel do this? Because they want to starve Palestinian babies to death.

And this....is 1 Snickers. The most incredible shrinkflation I have witnessed to date.

I felt okay about a snickers being around 100 calories, didn't sound like too much on an indulgence. That, is 2 Snickers. Middle finger for scale

Your feed would be better if you followed some climate, energy, and environmental journalists.

Saw this on Instagram and dug it. #NoKings

Oh the joy of getting sole possession of the bike space on the train. A fine day to use the cycle to work scheme for its intended purpose.

I always like to think that when trying to choose which architectural design to go with, someone ticked the "all of the above" option just to see what might happen.

I concur. Fixed the broken drawers with wood glue and rage in the end as it was so much easier than returning them.

Perhaps the next series of The White Lotus will be set in space.

"Federal authorities" also known as fascist thugs on a racist power trip. Ask yourself what you would think and do if a group of masked, plain-clothed individuals set upon you like this.

Also seen in Bamford...so definitely very high up.

Turns out my brother wasn't winding me up after all.... Also seen above Bamford.

If you're not already following @altnps.bsky.social , please do.

The world is such a confusing place today.

I’ve had a number of US friends & collectors reach out to me, as they are so scared by the Trump/Heritage Council fascist regime.

‘What can we do?’ they ask me. I think it’s because I often right about human rights, protest & the Holocaust.

So here are my suggestions.

I feel like you've described my experience of a loop incision and hysteroscopy. Thank you for the reminder that I need to finish what I started when it comes to writing up an experience that thousands of woman are needlessly put through. I stopped mid-essay as it was upsetting. I'm so sorry.

Oh autocorrect....Eldfell, not elderly 🙄
