@freeweb hello 🙂

Happy Easter.
That's all

So - I'm going to assume that AFFG haven't made it over here yet and I'm going to air my concerns about Friday - in a hopefully safe space.

I have no problems with the vigil for democracy happening - I think it is a good idea, but I am terrified that it's going to be infiltrated by rent-a-mob and will result in violence - which will be splashed across the papers and TV as "nats are a disgrace to Scotland" or something.

Does anyone share these concerns?

Is #ScotlandStartsHere running over here on mastodon too?

A quick note for #TwitterExodusScotland it's not what you want to hear if you are hoping for a referendum this year. BUT - if we are left looking for legal options to force a Section 30. It looks like the Belfast Agreement has the period defined as SEVEN years. Meaning we could legitimately argue that Belfast Agreement has a defined period. SEVEN years will of course be 2021.

Page 5, Section 3.

Presumably - now that Westminster have said "no" and followed it up with "never, not even with proof that everyone wants it" - we can involve the United Nations now?

Hmmmm have AFFG just paid people to stand there for the counter protest? Because.... spot the hat. #AUOBGlasgow

Have to say - surprised that other than @Yes2020 there is very little #AUOBGlasgow content on our new social media platform today!

My Google Maps activity review really highlights how damaging the stress of a DWP reassessment is:

2018 - travelled 3,277 miles.
2019 - [waiting for reassessment and then appealing reassessment (Jan-June)] Travelled 1,360 miles.

Right, bird site is a terrifying place right now. I'm shutting out the world because my anxiety can't take the stuff that is escalating in the real world.

Please could I ask that people who are posting stuff about war, hide it behind a Content Warning because some of us - are going to be in the fetus position watching cartoons and pretending everything is going to be fine.....

Thanks.
Andy

....as far as I know - today is neither Friday nor the 13th.....

So - I slept for a few hours, got woken up and ARGH! there must have been a power blip overnight. pfSense was down, complaining it wanted interfaces reassigning. XenServer down - which meant Unifi down.... 3 hours I have been running around trying to fix the network and get the internet back.

Hey weather - go away and leave me alone.

Also - the heating got upset by the power blip, so the house is cold.
