So proud of all the work that @argentaffy.bsky.social has put into this!

Mid-run noodling: I smell the lowtide Sea brine air The wiggling worms Dig down deep The salty mudflats Sandfields across the way I walk on water Through picket fence prisons Pepsi’s legal counsel stops by I stretched my fingers spread my toes And learned to breathe again Free, she heard

Love Juan's lyric video. He's done amazing work the past few months and I can't wait to share more of it with you.

Truth be told, learning to think of myself as a non-binary person has been a bit underwhelming. It’s not a liberatory revelation to discover that someone’s provided you a new label. Keep reading: meredithaprobert.com/thoughts-on-... #pride #nonbinary #lgbtq #pridemonth #liberation

Saw it last night. Absolutely recommend.

Officially passed where I left off on Say Something in Welsh on my last go-round. Even if it's slow, it's still progress. #ymlaen #Cymraeg

Written for my dad on the bus to Aberystwyth. I readied myself I held my breath in The way I do Ever since that plague Walking past strangers Nightmare queues Broken patterns, rewoven I couldn’t place the scent Rich like Annwfyn's bounty Read more: www.patreon.com/Argentaffy/p...

A bit of Dublin.

Fantastic few days in Dublin with @celticstudents.bsky.social. Second Celtic Students Conference, first in person. So lovely to meet people from all areas of interest in Celtic studies, all levels of experience and linguistic ability. Already looking forward to next year! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Some new work from @formerknownasjuan.bsky.social!

@yes-cymru-ankh.bsky.social great to see your piece in @nation.cymru! Edrych ymlaen at y cwrs. nation.cymru/feature/1776...

Primed for disaster Parading catastrophe On a day of near-misses Storms building and boiling and breaking But at the river ford I can’t recall if there was So much as a drop of water Cars swerve Apocalypse deferred Another time another day Go back to your household gods For now

Cardiff Uni wants to scrap the 2nd floor of the Arts and Social Studies Library. We're talking 7km of books and vital study space gone to make way for classrooms.

Some thoughts on inevitability and last week's Senedd elections. #Cymru #UKelections #Senedd #Wales meredithaprobert.com/this-wasnt-e...

"The scale of support for the Senedd Pledge for Palestine is a watershed moment for Welsh politics ... The people of Wales will not sit idly by while the UK Government fuels the machinery of apartheid and genocide." nation.cymru/news/almost-...

"People are rightly cross about the rollout of 20mph speed restrictions and public money being spent on tree planting in Uganda when we weren’t getting the basics right." If anyone is more ineffectually finger to the wind than Keir Starmer, it's Jo Stevens. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/politic...

Solid analysis from @willhaycardiff.bsky.social: "It tells you something about [Reform]: it is simply unable to tolerate even the perception of failure. When you don’t have a moral underpinning to what you are trying to do, your entire raison d’etre is winning." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

More old white men in charge. Yep. That should fix it.

Fingers crossed. Inshallah.

As an editor, I try to be generous. But sometimes you've got to lead the feedback with: "This needs a major rewrite."

Welsh Labour should absolutely be trumpeting 20 mph. nation.cymru/news/study-f...

Always enjoy @richardwynjones.bsky.social's perspective on all things political in #Cymru. "Labour dominance has been the central fact in the political lifetimes of EVERYONE currently living in Wales – just think of that for a minute." nation.cymru/feature/wale...

Final trip to Bangor for the spring term. I hate being on the road for the full day (#colonialinfrastructure), but I don't hate the view.

Americanism I want to be rid of: my irrepressible need to tell the wait staff that the food was really great when they come to collect my dishes. Honest to god. It's Wetherspoons. Settle down.

Time for another road trip.

I'm an immigrant, I work 12 hour days, (at least) 6 days a week. I do not make an MP's salary (£93,904). I love a pint, I love a glass of wine — but I somehow manage to get through my days without smelling of alcohol. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Favourite part of being an adult: drinking milk again because it helps my heartburn. 🙄

"I would like to contrast the non-investment in Cornwall, with what has happened in Wales." Thinking about this as I read @willhaycardiff.bsky.social's (very good) "Who Cares About Wales?" and how we in Cymru look to Scotland to understand how we're treated. mebyonkernow.org/news/depriva...

But isn’t this what evil is? A projection on to the world not of overbearing and large intent, but smallness and fear? The consequences of violence are secondary to the validation that comes from inflicting it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hurts my heart to hear @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social equivocating on Canadian position on potential US invasion of Cuba. Isn't all the (really great) talk about a bloc of middle powers supposed to be about standing together? www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Having grown up in, survived, and left the American evangelical movement, this is one of the most accurate explanations for the MAGA evangelicals' fidelity to Trump that I've heard. www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...

Little evening stroll listening to Nennius. (I don’t really recommend it.) I never realised some of the thematic overlap/influence on the Four Branches. So, I still got some reward for this spoiled sunset. 😅

Excited to work on this together with @formerknownasjuan.bsky.social. #Abertawe #Cymru #design #emigration #expat #illustration #lgbtqcreators #newproject #Patreon #poetry #Swansea #Wales

One of the worst things the current era has done is to make progressive people act like two wrongs make a right when a Democrat politician is caught in a scandal. “But Trump gets away with it” is not the flex you think it is.
