"This is PRECISELY the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write... That is how civilizations heal."

Incredible to see the power and fresh thinking emerging when the cultural dimensions of land and ecology are put front and centre
Had a great time giving a presentation and participating in discussions with people working within ecological restoration as part of Cairngorms Connect's Gaelic Knowledge Exchange Visit at the Badaguish Outdoor Centre! @CairngormsCo @HuttonSEGS @BroonCooFilms @AJuarezBourke
A brilliant event! It was wonderful to meet colleagues from across the Cairngorms Connect partnership to discuss the ongoing importance of Gaelic for this region & how engaging with the language can help us tackle the climate & biodiversity crises.

Scotland’s rent freeze has ended, so tenants will be notified of rising rents. The new rent adjudication process is complex. As such, @Living_Rent has created an app to help you know your rights, and guide you through the process to challenge rent hikes.fightrent.netlify.app/
