Morning Twitter pals. I’m looking for interesting resources on #culturalappropriation - podcasts, articles etc. Preferably by people from cultures that have been/continue to be mined. Thank you!

“But the children are never the problem. It’s the parents. The kids are always fun, and they’re reading the same books as kids in Brooklyn and LA. It doesn’t matter if their daddy is a racist, because their babies are reading Ghost!” ow.ly/kGdp50CKeaC

The disgusting, disappointing racist remarks people take the time to write under stories on the tragedy that took place yesterday makes me heart sore but is, sadly, unsurprising. Only shows how much more work has to be done.

Coronavirus: Is Scotland's 'slow and steady' exit already working? Covid death rate falls to third...

ON the route out of lockdown, it appears that Nicola Sturgeon might be banking on the adage that "slow and steady wins the race".

If you're one of the many, many people who condemns the whole BLM movement because of the protests, I trust you'll now also condemn every single person who wants to protect a statue. Or if, you've picked a side, realise these are your teammates.

Like millions of others, we are horrified by the victim-blaming front page which is echoing around all our virtual chambers today. It serves as an illustration of how far our industry still has to go in terms of tackling misogyny.

My reporters, sadly, attend court hearings regularly where domestic violence is raked over. Never, EVER, would I blast up the perpetrator's defence. Especially a boastful lack of contrition. If this is journalism, I'm starting to think I'm in the wrong job.

In the 18th century, Scotland saw the grotesque wealth England was amassing as a result of the triangular slave trade - enslaved people exchanged for goods then sold into servitude and their crops returned to be traded. heraldscotland.com/news/1850…

How well do you know your city? Do you know its history? Why it's laid out as it is? Whose names are immortalised on the streets that dissect its heart?
