I worry what it looks like for Scotland. I’m glad Angus Council now has a focus on housing after repeated requests to declare a housing emergency.

This means I can’t get to work on time, can’t take the bus and then there’s no parking when I do arrive because I am late so I have to drive about and then use the council parking which costs £10 per day.07 Jan 2025 09:23 +0000at://did:plc:darijecol24p6zthykghv7ef/app.bsky.feed.post/3lf5d7pmrl22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/hdoran.bsky.social/post/3ldvccgvwxk2zLovely day for a trip to Blackpool 👀 🌧️💨22 Dec 2024 11:20 +0000at://did:plc:darijecol24p6zthykghv7ef/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldvccgvwxk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/hdoran.bsky.social/post/3lchtkcs5nc2zThere are two places in the UK (no I am going to say the WORLD) where you can reliably get excellent tea.

It is good to debate this. It’s good to think deeply about it. I hope it also encourages people to speak about death within their own families.29 Nov 2024 09:47 +0000at://did:plc:darijecol24p6zthykghv7ef/app.bsky.feed.post/3lc3cfpckpk22https://bsky.app/profile/hdoran.bsky.social/post/3lbxhrp2d7c2yThe current Scottish government isn’t delivering for the NHS in Scotland.

Or can it offer me the diverse viewpoints and content I crave from a social network? So far my made up curated feed is looking like a university message board.
