Stella has been unfairly maligned. This is a Stella appreciation account 🍻

#OtD 31 May 1831 the Merthyr Tydfil uprising was sparked when bailiffs attempted to seize goods from the home of Lewis Lewis. The following day ironworkers began ransacking the houses of bailiffs and returning property to the original owners stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1038...

Forgot I was in public and farted and a woman on the opposite table smirked and went "ooooh big one" lmfao

If i see one more pundit blaming public misery on our phones instead of rising living costs and stagnating wages I am going to commit a crime. We're not broken by screen time, we're broken because it's becoming increasingly hard to afford to live

This lightning is biblical. About to be smited (smote?) for my many many sins

#OtD 27 May 1989 neo-Nazi music network Blood & Honour attempted to hold a gig in London. But Anti-Fascist Action took over their redirection point in Hyde Park, and attacked the Nazis as they arrived, preventing most of them from attending the gig stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9946...

My mates better start pulling their thumbs out their arses and set me up with their friends because I cannot cope with grindr anymore...

Watching a neighbour cover every window in their house in newspaper and wondering exactly what horror plot they've stumbled into

gay guys are always saying things like Did u hear the new song from Beth. I'm like no who's Beth. And they're like shut up bitch listen to this. And then they play the worst song I've ever heard. I love u gay guy.

Indeed

Look, I know climate change is dangerous and an existential crisis but this weather is doing wonders for my depression, wonders my antidepressants could never, and I am going to enjoy it if it kills me

Becoming a sovereign citizen but for Cyfraith Hywel

My chat with #Welsh actor Scott Arthur is now live! We discussed his game roles including Blaidd in #EldenRing, singing shanties in Abyssus, Welsh accents, representing #Wales in video games, and even Welsh football and rugby. Watch the full interview on YouTube! Diolch a mwynhewch!

Taking 1d8 fire damage every four seconds

Wine and beer: in the fridge. Chair: dragged out into the garden. Book: obtained. Sun: glaring. Tan: immaculate. Come at me heatwave. I am prepared

Hot out, in case anyone didn't notice

Seeing too many people talking about how "medieval peasants had more time off than the average modern worker" and like no. There may have been a lot of feast days and holidays but they were mostly farmers. They didn't get days off. If they did then they'd starve. There was always work to do.

Rereading Jan Morris' incredible "Wales: Epic Views of a Small Country" and imploring you to read it too. A beautiful examination of Wales and the concept of home and belonging. It rolls across the hills of Wales like poetry, examining history as well as our place in it. I can't recommend it enough

"Helen of Troy wasn't black!!!!!" Me, drawing the legendary "She Wasn't Real" card

In an independent Wales we'll all be granted at least a two hour daily allotment of "Sitting in the park, watching the squirrels" time

🌞 Hot Weather Reminder 🌞 If you're taking antidepressants or antipsychotics, your body might struggle to regulate heat. Stay cool, drink water, find shade 🌳 #Summer #Weather

It's Cardiff actually. Swansea is the first. London is all the way down at #43 and it only gets that high because it has that restaurant where everything is flavoured with garlic

Watching some old crime dramas and I can't explain it but TV used to be more beautifully shot. I feel like in the pursuit of verisimilitude we've forgotten how to light and angle shots in ways that amplify the art. Something looking "real" or "natural" shouldn't be the be all end all

"Children are now three times more likely to grow up in poverty despite all adults in the household working." Imagine wanting to stay part of the UK.

"At least 15m Britons not being paid enough to save for retirement" Ya cunts

Not now H.P. Lovecraft...

Waxing lyrical at the train station to an audience of one (1) about the myriad benefits of free train travel and getting a "I don't want other people to have nice things" as a reply will be my 13th reason why I stg

It's 2146. The world has ended in nuclear fire. Humanity is gone, long since erased in the purging fires of the hellish inferno that engulfed our cities and left them as ash. Somehow, despite there being no one left to argue with, the British vs American food discourse persists.

Marxist Monday: Gwyn Alf Williams, Welsh Marxist Historian 1925-1995 "If capitalism in the British Isles lives, Wales will die. If Wales is to live, capitalism in the British Isles must die."

Hundreds of angry voices: we've got to do something. But we have to make sure we're not identified. One dude in the corner who really likes his wife's Sunday best: okay guys, hear me out...

#OtD 13 May 1839 a toll gate in Wales was attacked by a large group of men disguised as women, the first of nearly 300 attacks known as The Rebecca Riots. The attacks were by tenant farmers protesting fees to use roads and general economic conditions stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1367...

This summary of different early medieval literature is still one of my favourite things on the internet. #medievalsky

Having only tangentially crossed paths with Richard Rolle, I'm studying him now in more depth and, gotta say, that guy was horny as fuck for god. I admire it

Getting a lot more mileage out of this than I expected

" I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from convention and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy."

Obsessively watching court videos of sovereign citizens on trial. Truly magnificent

Political coups just lack the same punch they used to have. Where's the midnight strangulation of opponents by the conniving minister? Where's the climactic swordfight in the throne room? Where is the mid-banquet poisoning? WHERE IS THE DRAMA?

It's true. I can read all the words

Your new prime minister. Ew god no kill it with a shoe

Wait wait wait...Wes is short for Wesley? Fuckin gross

"Jesus with tits" "Jesus vagina" "Jesus with dick abs" "Gay jesus" "Men fuck jesus??" Reading through my laptop Internet history is like reading through that of a sexually repressed lifelong Catholic with extreme religious ideation

Live fast, die young, leave an ugly corpse. I mean truly hideous. A corpse that leaks and leaves a stain on the ceiling of the downstairs neighbour. A corpse that makes the forensic investigators throw up and exclaim in eerie, horrified unison "WHAT COULD HAVE DONE THIS!?"

Playing Cerys Matthews' Calon Lan in front of Rhun ap Iorwerth and triggering him like the Manchurian candidate into passing my policy directives of Free Trains and Free Pints

Oh ffs The Lettuce is back??

"People are crying out for change! What can possibly be done to alleviate the enormous stress the average person is under?" Money. The answer is money. It's always money. You dumb cunts

"The UK is in danger!" cry the most boring, underwhelming liberals who've ever been asked to pen an article. Meanwhile me and my mates are drawing pentagrams on the floor and manifesting the collapse of the union

I could never go out with someone who was also active on social media... what if they don't Post good??

*pats the bonnet* this union's got five, maybe ten years, left in her

It's almost like we are genuinely different nations with genuinely different priorities and cultures.
