Near ish where I live is a stone circle, tucked away behind some farm buildings so they’re not well known. It’s a very pleasant walk or, as was the case today for me, a stop on a bike ride.

Exploring northern Skye today. The Skye Museum of Island Life is good; surprisingly so, with some detailed interpretations on different aspects from crofting to religion to the wars and much else. And in the graveyard up the hill are some notable residents including Flora MacDonald and Alexander MacQueen.

I had an amble around some graffiti spots in Aberdeen today.

@gwynnion@mastodon.social there was a post on Birdville ages back (I wish I could find it) saying something along the lines of how so much prejudice in today’s world could’ve been avoided/defeated if we’d recognised gamergate for what it was and could become. I think the point was that it sowed the seed for being able to unchallengedly say misogynistic, sexist, homophobic etc things online and establish such views as a sort of norm.

@mbonsma@mastodon.social very well put. I’ve often had people say “but disabled people!” which: a) portrays all disabled people as incapable of independent travel, effectively throwing them in the scrap heap. b) Ignores those disabled people who benefit from quieter streets with less noise, easier cycling and better driving for those who need to.
