I know I wear my Rhaglan castle hoodie too much because I was walking down the street I head down on my way to the pub and a guy shouts across the road "fucking hell you're never not in that hoodie". Sir I do not know you

Just got to write "Margery Kempe cumming on a church floor" in my dissertation. History is wonderful

Once again reminding people: choosing the lesser evil is still choosing evil.

Watching Turkish oil wrestling for innocent and pure-hearted reasons

It's only Frankenstein's monster if it comes from the Frankenstein region of Switzerland. Otherwise what you have there are plain old daddy issues

The great thing about having a parrot is that you can nod off and wake up to her whispering peekaboo in your ear just before she shits down your cheek* *I hate her she is my nemesis

Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Facing an ultimatum of catastrophic consequences. Trapped in a hell of my own design. *working on my imminently due dissertation but the pub is calling

About four years ago I was walking through the centre of town and was struck by a certainty so strong it bordered on premonition: that I would die walking through castle square being struck by a deliveroo cyclist. It was so powerful it stopped me dead in my tracks. It's such a curse, this knowledge

Where has the AI obsession with mpreg come from? What is it trying to tell us? What can this tell us about ourselves?

If there's one thing I can be trusted to do it's confuse "scatological" and "eschatological" in an essay

Doing what I do when the weather gets me down and am reading my favourite letter from the entire middle ages: Llywelyn Fawr's letter to Eva Marshall after executing her husband for shagging his wife, passing on condolences and his wish for their children to still get married

Every now and then I remember that we're all living on a thin floating crust atop an endless sea of magma and I have an existential crisis about it

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw the sun. It's been weeks at least. The world is naught but unending grey and my soul withers in the drab shade

Labour leadership coup? We used to do coups properly. With swords and battles and princes locked in towers. What has this country even become?

How accurately the TV or games console obeys my command is determined entirely by how authoritatively I press the button

Students who are affiliated with a political party are inevitably the most repulsive people you've ever met.

Elizabeth in the new Frankenstein is an absolute FREAK

This thing needs a Close Friends function. I want to complain about things that would be unseemly to complain about in public

Rounding off this weekend with a late night viewing of Over the Garden Wall and it really is the most perfect show. Heartwarming and incessantly eerie, every scene feels like a childhood dream that's constantly threatening to become a nightmare

Me and Rach were on the train to Cardiff and there were a bunch of guys from Ipswich discussing how it's weird that Wales has no national musical traditions and we were *flabbergasted*

The amount of food influencers in the Albert Hall is upsetting. Put down that camera I am trying to eat in relative privacy...pervert

We recently found out that our queer book club has been slandered by another local queer book club and I'm obsessed with this tiny, insignificant feud that's developing. I'r gad bois

All things aside, I think we can agree that Dafydd ap Gruffudd was the hottest figure medieval Wales produced. Sexy land pirate that he was

Love being on anti-psychotics because what do you mean I don't take them for three days and now everything looks 2D?? What an adventure my life is hahahah kill me

My mate was like "shall we go to watch Pillion together?" and I had to be like "are you fucking stupid I do not need or want an audience tyvm"

Ban twitter. Ban every mention of it and its owner. Scrub every mention of them from the media. The people yearn for damnatio memoriae

Crashing out in the worst, most self-destructive way possible but it's okay because I've taken up exercise

Cultural appropriation

I'm excited to share that the latest episode of 'Gone Medieval' podcast features the Shropshire Witches! We talked about medieval ghosts and all things spooky! Teenage me would be pinching herself! open.spotify.com/episode/303k... #history #halloween #medieval #folklore #medievalist

Gone Medieval's episode on Glyndwr? When I'm hungover?? On a two hour car journey??? This should cure me

Went to Laugharne castle yesterday and I walked in, predictably wearing my favourite Rhaglan castle hoodie, and the people working in the giftshop immediately started ripping into me for having the nerve to walk in wearing another castle's hoodie lol

"Downloading the 'Reveleations of Divine Love' on my phone", "and all shall be well, all shall be be well" - Florence & the Machine's new song Perfume and Milk references Julian of Norwich's work, which is lovely since it is hands down the most beautiful religious text ever written

Calan Gaeaf Hapus Pawb

One near fatal slip down the castle steps later and I'm perched on a picnic bench in the middle of Laugharne castle, drinking in the ambiance and pretending a pigeon didn't just shit down my arm

Happy New Florence and the Machine Album Day to those who celebrate

She's so fine

Stripping royals of their titles isn't enough, I want them jettisoned into the sun

Congratulations to everyone who puts actual effort into their Halloween costumes but I'm built of different, much lazier, stuff

Suddenly, out of nowhere, the taste of mint has started making me puke the second it touches my tongue so I'm back to using children's strawberry flavoured toothpaste lmao brushing my teeth in a cloud of shame

Going to get my nose pierced. Fuck off big ring. Can't decide between the left or right nostril. These are the questions that keep me up at night

Just had my day ruined by hearing an english guy pronounce Castell Coch as "Castle Cotch"

It's amazing the difference in vibes between English and Welsh language poetry events. English: cringe Welsh: a powerful continuation of a 1500yo cultural tradition that stirs, awes, bites and stings, draws crowds and is broadcast nationally.

"My friends... you bow to no one" -> cut to me sobbing like a baby

Thinking of the time I went to a queer poetry night and I sat down, ready to round the night off with some beautiful queer poetry and the first speaker stands up, announces they'll be doing "dolphin poetry" and proceeds to start squealing like a dolphin for ten minutes on stage

I sat down in the gay bar last night and my powerful thighs absolutely shredded my boxers, the noise echoing in the glitter and neon lights. Very sexy of me I'm sure you'll agree

A graffito

The automatic bin just closed on my hand, knocking a tonne of wet coffee grounds over the recently painted wall, staining it. Going to go to the pub about it

Yes there's a lot of work still to be done and Plaid's victory in Caerffili isn't the end of the fight but excuse me while I feel a little happy in a world that's determined to wring us dry of hope and joy. A win is a win. I'll take it. Dydd Gwener Bois. Ffantasteg 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
