Oh yeh, a female director.

Good to wake up and see fascism getting a kicking in #Caerffili Da iawn pawb!

The Welsh arts sector remains ‘in danger’ while struggling to stay afloat with 40% less funding in real terms than 15 years ago, an arts chief has warned

“There’s no technology that needs to be experienced first-hand more than VR. Trying to explain VR to someone who’s never put on a headset is like trying to describe the taste of an apple to someone who’s never eaten one” More than a friction free demo, we need friction free onboarding full stop.
