I have got a hand-made red silk scarf from Laos and on my head it goes! Nyah.

My sister has a tattoo of a fucking ASTEROID on her shoulder. It's huge and extremely craterously detailed!

Then to hear Jon Rees on his new book about imperialism.

I have just gotten a Big Person to speak at a civil liberties meeting we are planning, and I just went with my friend S, a young, hijab wearing Muslim student, to talk about police monitoring of Muslims here with an MP. He claimed it was a Scottish Parliament issue but will be doing some stuff about it, asking a question to the police and sending someone to the civil liberties meeting.

S was the bad cop, yelling and calling him by his first name, and I was the far more reasonable good cop. Of course S was right - there's no reason for me to be smiling and nodding at this guy. What happens to me when I am in the presence of authority?

We'll need to do some press about this, coordinate and so on and so forth. S is 21, and I am 27, and she is a metric shit-ton smarter than me from what I can tell!
