When folks talk about community nourishment it starts with stuff like this.
Last week I had to check a book at @natlibscot but I had to have my kid with me. I phoned to check before & thought I’d manage a 15min skim and make do. When I arrived they showed me to a new room with a section specifically for families. It was transformative
I never usually put stuff like this out there but I’ve had such a honkingly flat start to the year creatively that I feel like this is my lighthouse — I’m still here, I’m still trying.
Truly, truly shite news
