well done to everyone protesting against scotland vs israel tonight in glasgow - a country committing genocide should never be allowed in the world of sports, or any other competition

A developer is once more seeking permission to build an 18-hole golf course on a protected nature site – Coul Links, just outside Embo, on the east coast of Sutherland. In the middle of a climate emergancy, in a time of strife and hardship - people are planning to strip away even more of Scotlands beauty and nature for the gains of the rich to play around for a few hours. Also Fuck Golf Courses

Now that the anger has calmed down, the desperation and sadness is creeping in. Imagine being so despised as a group of people that a simple law meant to make your life easier gets people so angry that an entire nation might break up over it. That's how hated we are. The English government would rather risk losing Scotland than allowing us our deserved rights. I feel like screaming and I'm sure you do too
But there is a good side to this. Look at how many people, not just in Scotland but all over the world, stand in solidarity with us. Look how many scots are ready to abandon the UK, partly for us. Look at how angry people are over this, not at us but for us
I don't think I've ever felt this desperate and hopeful at the same time

So England believes a child (16) is mature enough to have sex with an adult (gross) but that child can’t decide their gender identity at 16?

Ive not seen it talked about on here yet but laws around hrt for under 18s in the uk has changed
They have banned all hrt for under 18 year olds in the uk, nhs or private services. This was put in place without any vote on the subject, The government has done this because of the Cass report's release
It was put into effect on june 3rd but no news media so far (to my or my friends knowledge) has covered it. I only just found this out by one of my friends, who is currently 17 but is turning 18 a week after they were supposed to get hrt but it has been blocked from him because he is still under 18.
I know i have like no reach on this platform but i think this deserves to atleast be known
I will put a tiktok of finnster talking about it and how it affects their charity work here, because they know more about this than i do and can explain it better than i can (link to original tiktok)
I wont force you to but i beg you to reblog because the fact i hadn't heard about this until now is crazy!

Hi, @prideknights can you spread this around, as we know the Holidays, this time of year, in general, can be challenging for queer people so some good news might lift some spirits. Its a historical moment in Scotland and we can only hope the rest of the UK follow their lead.

quick note for all my non scottish followers: you will likely see uk media referring to the GRA reforms that just got passed in holyrood as 'controversial', that is an incorrect statement. the GRA reforms had a majority support from all but one major party (i'll let you guess which one) and won the vote with a substantial majority. Scotland is in absolutely no way perfect and neither is our politics, but trans rights are not controversial here amongst anyone who's not a vitriolic transmisogynist.

Scotland has officially called for:
An immediate ceasefire
Recognition of a Palestinian state
The international criminal court to investigate Israel's war crimes
It's a small step, but I'm proud of my country. The rest of the UK must follow.

Instead of the SPN meme, may I suggest this meme format that I have very carefully used all my art skills to design. Also, if you care about Scottish politics, I apologise if this is how you find out about this 😂
