@kitchenaidusa.bsky.social I bought a KF8 Espresso maker two weeks ago and we’re already having an issue with it. Customer service had a three hour hold time and no one connected with me via the chat function. In 2026 you can’t call me back when someone is available?

It feels like magic when I come across something in Cymraeg that I didn’t understand and now I do. A mystery unlocked. I’m still struggling to listen as fast as people speak, but as an American dysgwr, I think I’ve learned a good bit. There’s an ocean of what I haven’t, but mae pob gair yn drysor.

An American in Wales embarrassing us all on Threads. Welsh has *more* vowels than English. And who goes to another country and gets mad that their native language doesn’t follow English rules? As if English makes sense. I would expect an author to have more appreciation for language.

The Light in the Hall is back for a 2nd season on AMC here on the US. Starring incredible Welsh talent like @sianreesewilliams.bsky.social Can we have more Welsh dramas over here? Yn y Gymraeg plîs? It helps me learn the language. Not many to practice with here, and hearing it spoken matters. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

As an American, I am disconnected from the culture and lands of my ancestors. This disconnection can be hard to navigate. We can’t force ourselves back into a culture that moved forward without us, and the land we occupy isn’t truly ours. Its challenging.

The witch walks and plucks wild omens, picks plants for the curing of tomorrow. Jack by the hedge, wood sorrel, the fertile hope of navelwort. The witch walks and harvests auguries, the gossip of trees. Her movement across the land is a magical act. – #EmilyCbanting, 1982 #WitchSky

@kristofferhughes.bsky.social Croeso i Blue Sky. It’s nice here.

The corruption is in full daylight here. Who can hold him accountable? Why do people still think he’s for us as Americans? He’s clearly only into enriching himself. youtube.com/shorts/K8mp3...

I know I have complained before about my frustration learning Welsh. The problem is not with the language, which continues to captivate me, but with my own brain which won’t soak it in fast enough. I want to swim in this language.

What if we started an army of perimenopausal women to protect our trans siblings? We are filled with rage and can function solely on black coffee and the tears of our enemies. We’re don’t even need violence. We can take folks down by hurting their feelings. Let’s go.

I mean, this is just flat out corruption. It’s blatantly obvious. He’s stealing our tax dollars.

Today I will remember with the people of Wales, all those lost in the tragedy at Aberfan. The location of the coal tip was known to be dangerous and nothing was done protect those would become its victims. 144 people were killed. Over 100 of them children. Cofiwch Aberfan. Remember Aberfan.

Sometimes my eyes trick me when I’m reading. I just read “bygone quarrels” as “bygone squirrels” and thought that was an interesting thing for a goddess to take note of. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Book: Sabrina, Discovering the Goddess of the River Severn by Brett Hollyhead @witchofsalopia.bsky.social

What I’m hearing is that Republicans want so badly to give billionaires tax breaks by taking away healthcare that they’re willing to also risk air safety to do it. That’s how much they want to give billionaires our money.

Not a big Stacey fan, tbh, but I dislike TJ even more and cannot care less who’s lying. We won’t know the truth until we do. His lawsuit doesn’t mean he’s telling the truth. Her denials are weird. Who knows? Next storyline please. #RHOP

Mali Aelwen has come home. Our tiny baby Pembrokeshire Welsh Corgi. She’s stolen our hearts already. We plan to train her in Cymraeg a Saeneg (Welsh and English). She will be so loved.

We do not need to further take from cultures not our own. Cultures with closed practices who do not welcome intrusion. We have our own stories. Our own spiritual and earth based wisdom. If only we will be willing to see and learn. And when we do, we see how it connects us all. /|\

I listened to her, and it’s so hard to respond when it’s just lies. Republicans cut the health benefits of millions of Americans, which will make all our premiums higher, in order to fund tax breaks for billionaires who don’t need it. None of these benefits profit the undocumented. That’s a lie.

I have joined the Angelesy Druid Order and feel like I’ve been swimming the last month in Welsh folklore, teaching, and wisdom. I’m really enjoying the course and plan to go back to Cymru for my initiation. I can’t wait!

This is true. I’m anti fascist. I do not belong to an organization, and I would never hurt anyone. I just don’t believe in fascism.

I thought seizing the means of production was communist. Isn’t that what taking 10% of a company is? Why do conservatives see communism in providing for hungry children but don’t see it in talking private business? Are they stupid or just hypocritical?

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Peri-menopause is so fun. Don’t know why I didn’t do it years ago! Tonight I cried at a waffle maker.

@karaswisher.bsky.social after hearing you saying your favorite villain is the Baroness, I thought you’d appreciate this. Loved the podcast. youtu.be/ELSx0Kq8xZs?...

I dreamed last night that I met a Welsh dog and needed to speak Welsh to it. Surprisingly, dream me was able to think of all the words she needed. A thing real me struggles to do.

Watching Josh Hawley not let @kateshaw.bsky.social answer a fucking question without interrupting and talking over her was incredibly frustrating. She’s a rock star, but that was incredibly obnoxious. If you want an answer, let her give one! youtu.be/UIeZ0_QNHjk?...

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

The dogs really like the new bed.

I need a vacation to recover from this move.

I’ve been drowning in moving the last couple of weeks. I’m so ready to be done. We have closed but that’s not the end of the work. I’m so tired.

Once again, never use magic when what you need is therapy. The comments on this are golden. Every single person recognizes she is the problem and she is big mad about it. #witchsky

Also, yes they will. It’s not hard to deport criminals. Just show evidence. Due process protects us all.

Seeing the investment in Wrecsam, knowing it’s risky, tells me Cymru has sung a song in the hearts of these football club owners, similar to what was sung in mine. Seeing people want to invest in #Wales instead of take, fills me with joy. #WelcomeToWrexham

This is beautiful.

Sometimes I think for all the Welsh I’m learning, I’m losing my Spanish. But I did get to explain coño to my husband tonight. It might be my favorite Spanish word for how multi-functional it is. It’s funny to see how it’s translated in English. “Damn” doesn’t quite do it justice.

Congratulations, Brett! #Pagan

Bought a welcome mat for the new house. Celebrating my #Welsh love here in Minnesota in lots of little details. #Croeso

Yup. That’s the one.

There are many uses for #witchcraft but please never substitute it for therapy if that’s what you really need. Use in conjunction with therapy, sure. Practicing magic can have deep psychological benefits. But get the therapy too, if you can.

For Mother’s Day one of my kids took me for lunch. Another bought me flowers. One made me a card with the Welsh flag inside. Another made me a framed picture that says, “I love you to the moon and back” in both English and Welsh. They all came and had I e cream with me. Even the kidults. ❤️

In a few weeks we will move to our new house on Gallifrey Way. As a Doctor Who fan, I felt morally obligated to live on this street. I don’t make the rules. It’s kind of awesome to tell people I’m moving to Gallifrey and see who gets it and who doesn’t. #DoctorWho

Due process helps us avoid making mistakes, deporting the wrong people, and no one is a criminal until found to be so in court. If criminals don’t have due process than neither do the innocent as that’s how we find out which is which.

Please share widely. We need everyone looking out for these kids and even if you’re not close by, you might know someone who is.

So, American can’t afford to continue a $56M program that provides Narcan and saves countless American lives in the middle of an opioid epidemic that even POTUS says he’s worried about. But we *can* afford a military parade for his birthday for $45M-92M? Make it make sense.

How are people I’ve blocked adding me to lists?

As a no-longer-practicing-nurse, medical shows make me happy and frustrated. I love thinking through treatments an diagnoses. I hate watching people do bonkers shit. Ex: No one will bat an eye at a DNR and I don’t know any professionals who would participate in one against patient wishes. 🙄

Sometimes blocking someone who isn’t bad but just annoys you, is self care. Remember, boundaries aren’t about making other people behave how you want them to, but holding yourself to the standards you set.

Live Action followers are just as wild on Facebook. It’s so funny that they still think name calling and scripture waving are a solid substitute for substantive points and logic. #abortionishealthcare
