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. Please help us save this crucial campus resource before it's ripped out in June! Add your name here: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

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.

Heading to the printers tomorrow!

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.

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 ...)
