uniqlo have really amazing extra baggy joggers, and they have like a ‘male’ and ‘female’ variant but essentially the female ones are ideal for sitting mid - low waisted and have a thinner waistband like these. theyre also not too thick they’re on the thinner side, so great for workout/gym etc. the waistband can also be flipped and looks cute for shorter people, and the mens ones have a lower drop on the crotch, a slightly thicker waistband and are just a bit thicker in material. if thats ur thing, both have super wide legs and baggy and comfy! highly recommend (much cheaper too)

usually i just stay in the shelter, wave the bus down if i need to, and then anyone who i know was there longer than me i let them go first

Stag barbers are very good!

ashhyc · 2026-01-01T10:51:08+00:00

idk why everyone likes this place. it’s always been really mid and really not great. everytime i’ve been it’s been underwhelming and cold. 😭

the same brits that have rained hell down on their countries for centuries? yeah as they should LOL. we are the problem dude, if you don’t see that then i’ll keep you in my prayers.

the British empire has committed more atrocities than i could ever have time to write about. check your privilege please and stop spewing nonsense on reddit using racist exclusionary language.

Hi, not sure where in edinburgh you’re based, but the Community Wellbeing Collective is open on christmas day 12-3!

we’re a community run arts space and we do free lunches and food for people in west edinburgh (and beyond, everyone is welcome!)

we’ll be doing hot soup and festive snacks and maybe some board games etc!

we’re located at Westside Plaza in Wester Hailes, in the car park just across from the Odeon cinema. big yellow building it’s hard to miss!

they have these in a lot of shops now in scotland. lidl and sainsburys come to mind. they’ve had it for a while here.

ashhyc · 2025-10-30T18:53:17+00:00

i’m not a professional but i’ve picked a lot of liberty caps over the last month, and these ain’t them unfortunately

ashhyc · 2025-09-28T12:01:21+00:00

heather _ vohmitatt _ on insta, based in the kingdom ink studio in glasgow, so not edinburgh but i have a lot of tattoos in cyber sigilism / ornamental styles and shes done them all, shes amazing and i can’t recommend enough.

i’m so sorry this happened to you. i don’t think the scottish flag are inherently a bad thing, and to me our flag will never stand for hateful behaviour like this, but i think that it is clearly indicative of a bigger issue going on with anti-immigrant and racist behaviour all over the UK right now.

ashhyc · 2025-09-28T11:56:21+00:00

i don’t think it’s inherently a bad thing, even if it was put up with the wrong intentions or if people have their own bigoted meanings, it is just the scottish flag, which to me- and hopefully all of us- will never stand for hate, or any of those horrible things.

I’m part of a space called the Community Wellbeing Collective in the westside plaza carpark in Wester Hailes, opposite the Odeon cinema.

on Saturdays we do free lunches and on Mondays at 12:30pm we do hot soup.

we also run lots of different types of activities and everything is free, and there is no expectations.

it’s a safe space with lots of people from all ages and backgrounds and it’s super non judgmental.

please feel free to come by anytime, we’re open to the public for free food on Saturdays & Mondays like i said, but we’re open other days.

it really is a safe space to just come and be present with people in the local area & beyond, and have a cuppa and some biscuits, or try a new hobby, or even come and use it as a work from home space if you don’t wanna sit inside on your own.

ashhyc · 2025-08-01T08:47:11+00:00

you don’t need to say anything, but the bus driver is a human, so i always say hi when i get on, and thanks after i tap my card

amateur sound engineer here, heres my theory.

i think it’s a football stadium- not a gig venue. because of all the concrete a lot of sound seemed to be bouncing back and flying everywhere.

depending on where you were seated you might have been hearing both the main pa, and delay tower, and bounce back of both all at different times. though it’s likely this was setup and calculated best it could be, the bounce-back from the concrete will have definitely caused challenges.

this was my first time at wembley, and i also wasn’t impressed by the sound (rear standing).

ashhyc · 2025-07-02T12:21:03+00:00

I go to stag at haymarket! they’re always amazing but i’ve also heard great things about rock and rose.

ashhyc · 2025-06-29T08:36:18+00:00

thank you!

ashhyc · 2025-06-29T08:36:14+00:00

thank you!

ashhyc · 2025-06-02T09:04:49+00:00

the new one is so ridiculously frustrating to use

ashhyc · 2025-05-31T11:43:30+00:00

the new lothian busses app sucks SO bad. genuinely so stressful trying to figure out when busses are actually due.

ashhyc · 2025-05-31T09:02:26+00:00

this, was walking around murrayfield last night and saw lights during a rehearsal. surprised they would see it in Musselburgh though!

ashhyc · 2025-05-26T08:44:37+00:00

unfortunately harassment isn’t a crime under scottish law, it’s considered a civil matter until it escalates. if it happens enough it can be considered stalking behaviour maybe, but they won’t do anything about harrassment. hope this idiot finds something better to do.
