Just got my copy. Can't wait for 22 April!

Still faster than commuting from Swansea to Bangor. 😅 #colonialerainfrastructure

Putting a pin in this for a read later. @richardwynjones.bsky.social is one of the smartest people around to talk about the Senedd elections.

This is absolutely appalling. Keir Starmer and Shabana Mahmood cannot ever hope to defeat the far right by imitating the far right. When they lose the next general election, they will have deserved it. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Diolch yn fawr i @nation.cymru for sharing our story from @celticstudents.bsky.social on the Canolfan Madog at the University of Rio Grande in Ohio! #celticstudents #cymraeg #welsh #yrheniaith nation.cymru/feature/the-...

Four days of glorious sunshine in a row. #Swansea #Abertawe #spring #gwanwyn

Wales’ next Government should not let equality with Scotland be our end goal. We need to be bolder, and not ask for the profits from Crown Estate lands, but the complete handover of the land itself, and greater openness over who else owns our land at our own expense. nation.cymru/opinion/the-...

Nigel Farage has called Welsh people “Foreign speakers” in a Cameo video. I hate to break it to you Mr Farage, but if you read a history book you would realise English is more foreign in the UK than Welsh. Big credit to the Guardian for breaking this story: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

"You're either with us or against us." The impulse of imperial Christianity is to re-order the world in its image—forcing everyone into warring teams. That's what I remember growing up. This is my letter to that past. #exchristian #recoveringfromreligion meredithaprobert.com/love-the-sil...

It’s always sunny in Swansea.

Diolch @yes-cymru-ankh.bsky.social! Diolch yn fawr iawn i'r Canolfan Madog. Thank you so much to the Madog Center for Welsh Studies for the opportunity to learn and share a bit of your work celebrating Welsh language and culture in North America! #Cymraeg #Welsh #yrheniaith #MadogCenter #RioGrande

If somebody wants to buy me a copy, I wouldn't be angry. (Though my advisor might not like me reading this instead of working on my research ...)

Done with my MA at Purdue! All that’s left to do is pay a thesis deposit fee … and say all the things I really wanted to in the grad survey. (And I’ve got a LOT to say.) Here's the first part, looking back at the early days when everything was bright and green. meredithaprobert.com/degree-4-par...

Gorgeous spring day in Abertawe.

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

Happy Saint David's Day weekend, everyone! Penwythnos Gŵyl Dewi hapus, pawb!

Happy Saint David's Day weekend from Swansea! Cymru am byth! Wales forever! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 youtu.be/_uOwYl2bXOY?...

For a while, I tossed around the idea of changing my name. I hate feeling that I owe an explanation for myself—especially for such a personal choice. It feels like coming out again, an altogether exhausting process. Once in your life should be enough. And yet. meredithaprobert.com/my-name/

YFORY | TOMORROW

Finally got to see Of Monsters and Men. I just wish we hadn’t been stuck behind two women who had (at least) three drinks each and then split a bottle of wine. Nonetheless a great show.

Been thinking about this all afternoon.

Check out @formerknownasjuan.bsky.social's new page for his design work!

The people of Wales deserve better.

Nothing like a Swansea sunset.

Daffodil season. / Tymor cenhinen Bedr.

We went to see Michael Sheen’s Our Town, divided into 3 acts—Daily Life, Love & Marriage, and Death & Eternity. After the first 2 acts, I glanced at the clock. Already 9:15. The play ended at 10. How could that be? Death & Eternity sneak up on you. Read more: meredithaprobert.com/saying-goodb...

You know it's time to gtfo of the pub when you hear "the only thing I like about the death penalty ..." unironically from a table full of men next to you. #Wetherspoons #headphoneson

I remember that change is possible, because I’ve seen you change. It’s true, you were never dancing on the edge. But you worry what people think. About belonging. And let’s face it: right now, we’re all lined up like suspects desperate to prove our innocence. meredithaprobert.com/thoughts-fro...

I do sometimes wonder if grad school is worth me constantly feeling bad about myself.

I always want to apologise when people find out I'm American, but afraid I'll run into a Reform voter.

Dissertation completed. “Galis and Norgalis in Malory’s Morte: Welsh Regionalism, Celtic Menace, and the Round Table as Assimilationist metaphor” 33,607 words. 180 citations. 82 pages. Five pages of references. Defence and, doubtless, revisions, but really proud of the work I've done. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Some very good news.

An important read. I am so proud that Cymru has never forgotten the life of this remarkable man. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

Few things have made me feel better about the world lately, but @willhaycardiff.bsky.social's writing is one of the few exceptions. #Wales #Cymru #UKpolitics www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Grateful to @nation.cymru for sharing my piece on the reprehensible murder of Renee Nicole Good. If you can, attend an ICE Out for Good protest. There are more than 1,000 planned across the United States. The time for action is now. nation.cymru/opinion/the-...

Driving out the darkness. Or, Christmas 2025. The darkness weighs heavy these days. And it doesn’t just come from the world outside. It bubbles up inside, too. #Christmas #holidays #newyear meredithaprobert.com/driving-out-...

One of those days where you tell your writing group "I'm jumping in with feedback in a couple minutes," and by a couple minutes you mean eight hours later. 😣

Today, people across the world remember one of the greatest tragedies in Welsh history - the 1966 Aberfan disaster - which left a small mining village robbed of an entire generation

Being Welsh is about belonging and shared values. I was a loud south-east London girl who became Welsh, heart and soul. Our Wales is one that welcomes, includes and builds, not one that divides. Proud to close an inspiring weekend at Plaid Cymru conference 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

With a wife and three daughters who all speak Welsh at home, rugby legend Alun Wyn Jones is determined to make a change and says learning Welsh is about ‘knowing my roots and belonging to my country’
