Also need to try to sort out wrap around childcare for when the big one goes back to school. Fingers crossed it all works out. — PolitiTweet.org

Really enjoyed seeing all the #MakingWorkVisible tweets for #IWD yesterday. Although normal service will be resumed here today, I thought I’d let you know that I have surgeries this morning, then briefings this afternoon. And a meeting with my staff too ☺️ — PolitiTweet.org

@KatyMontgomerie Thank you, lovely ☺️ — PolitiTweet.org

If you wanna disagree with me that’s not a problem. But it is absolutely not appropriate to inspire fear in my (all female) staff by targeting my office. I will speak to my staff about this tomorrow and we will report incidents to the police where necessary. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
My office is currently closed, though staff may be collecting mail or undertake other duties in the office, when necessary. Any vandalism or “statements” left at my office will be seen by my staff, not me. Those undertaking this kind of behaviour should consider the impact. — PolitiTweet.org

I did not crowdfund, but should you wish to support a worthy cause you can donate to: The Scottish Trans Alliance: https://t.co/ZOpUrWcLD6 Grampian Women's Aid (button at bottom of page): https://t.co/j3R9SzngxK — PolitiTweet.org

I am going to go hug my family now. We are all glad this threat is no longer hanging over us. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
With Covid and lockdown and homeschooling, while working from home and trying to keep my mental health on an even keel. The bullying and pile-ons that I have received as a result of this threat have been really awful. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
I cannot overstate how hard this past couple of months has been. Thank you, to everyone, who has contacted me offering support. I have appreciated it hugely. It has been an incredibly stressful time. — PolitiTweet.org

I am deeply concerned about the use of defamation threats to stifle criticism. Defamation laws should definitely exist. But is clear that some people are using these legal threats to bully those who dare to stand up to them. — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah Phillimore has ended her vexatious legal claim against myself and David Paisley. I am going to take some time to reflect and consider what action I should now take. https://t.co/OCqR7UgWsK — PolitiTweet.org

I can hear screaming. I think someone has won at Connect 4. Thankfully I'm muted. — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly done. My 3pm meeting seems to be heading towards wrapping up 🤞 Everyone else has had supper and my husband says mine is waiting for me in the microwave (he's a keeper). #MakingWorkVisible — PolitiTweet.org

@Daggers48 Having had to resign as deputy leader last year due to my health and scaling back my work in Parliament dramatically I am now ramping up again. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@Daggers48 And during the first lockdown I did similar. Homeschooled 2 kids, while working and speaking in Parliament, attended a ridiculous number of procedure cttee meetings and dealt with more casework than we’ve ever had in the evenings after kids were in bed. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@StaceyMcCrear92 Yup, I miss you. Never thought I'd be looking forward to being back down the road but I am so ready to see all my pals again. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the slides I've been presented with is headed "Space Quantum". https://t.co/PInkUPO3GC — PolitiTweet.org

6.5 hours of meetings today and 5.5 tomorrow. I suppose at least I don't have to run between meetings at the moment because I'm not on the parliamentary estate! #MakingWorkVisible — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
I am still, as I said a couple of weeks ago, in the process of ramping up my workload at parliament. It feels like I'm having to relearn how to juggle everything. I'm not sure when I'm going to find time to do the ~3/4 hours of reading generated between Friday and today. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
Had a wee cuddle with my girl when she came home from school, while listening in to the meeting. It's hugely technical. Thankfully, I'm only attending as an observer today but will soon be a full member so have to be very across it. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
Thanks to @AberdeenCPolice for highlighting this to parents. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
I’m not sure if parents of pupils at all schools in #Aberdeen will have received this email today, but I think it’s probably particularly relevant for @KittybrewsterSc @woodside_school @riverbankschoo2 @stmacharacademy @SkeneSquare @gilcomstounnews https://t.co/1v83eKzR4u — PolitiTweet.org

Definitely time for another coffee. My next meeting is scheduled to be 3.5 hours long. — PolitiTweet.org

Me and the authenticator app are best pals. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s affa caal in here so I’m wrapped up while I read some briefing papers. https://t.co/5pNEAVJ5OL — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
Right! More meeting attended, this time with a local business. Also had another call with a colleague. Have emailed a constituent with a breakdown of the meeting I had with a local organisation, to raise her concerns. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
Huh, so it turns out actual government documents use the word "widget". I think I've used this word in the House of Commons more than anyone else, so it amuses me no end. https://t.co/Kl1UqTLAoh — PolitiTweet.org

Tidied up the #IWD stuff we did yesterday. Really love this Heroes book, it’s full of interesting people. On to my third video meeting now. https://t.co/cqZMmS0mKz — PolitiTweet.org

Bairn is finished his school work for the day. I'm panicking slightly about the number of video meetings he and I need to be in both tomorrow and Thursday. Also trying currently unsuccessfully to install whatsapp on work computer. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
Also, AGM of the APPGCGG which is a parliamentary APPG attended. I am re-elected as a vice chair for the coming year. (What do you mean we use too many acronyms?) #MakingWorkVisible Have also dealt with a chunk of emails and sent zoom appointments for some of tomorrow's meetings. — PolitiTweet.org
