Managed to squeeze in a visit to the @wellcomecollection.bsky.social last week as always do on London visits and loved this exhibition on work, health and rights as well as the one by Jason Wilsher-Mills. Also forced to pick up more postcards.

Trying to keep on top of adds. Ta to everyone who’s asked to be on. Tis of course not supposed to be an exhaustive list, just a bunch of folk I’m connected to in some way or another who happen to be writing in Scotland or Scottish and writing elsewhere.…
