And now for something slightly different, some mountain bog pools in the Bannau Brycheiniog this weekend! And some very friendly wild ponies. Happy place.

There's a current lack of good documentaries & series in Cymru/Wales which celebrate & investigate Welsh prehistory & early history - to match the excellent English- or dual-language wildlife, landscape and modern history documentaries. More work needed I think...🤔 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

💦World Wetlands Day 2026 #WWD2026 is celebrated on 2nd February. This year it focuses on the cultural heritage of wetlands, so we'll be looking at how our #peatlands are linked to our cultural identity and their importance to past and present ways of life 😊

In a similar vein as the “don’t cite a paper you didn’t read” article earlier, I quite like Stephen’s take here on AI for writing. I *could* ask AI to read papers for me, I *could* ask it to draft my text, but I choose not to, because the process IS the point. Even - especially! - when it’s hard.
