I've tried to fit you on a page Your heroes' tributes And obelisks Your good air and golden suns Your silver rivers and electric nights Floods that swept me away Caught in currents I didn’t understand Baptised in a water of new life #BuenosAires #poetry #skywriters www.patreon.com/Argentaffy/p...

Great night up in the cheap seats. Invigorating to be together in this wonderful room full of people. So many of us have been feeling helpless and alone. We need more opportunities to come together to listen, talk, rage—and imagine a future beyond this catastrophic moment.

I worry that I worry too much, so when I smelled smoke, I assumed it was the neighbours burning something in their garden. Only when I got out on the bay for a run did I see it for what it was: a cloud of smoke descending from the hills west of Swansea.

Smoke from wildfires burning west of Swansea, seen across Swansea Bay.

A little diary of my time in Aberystwyth learning Welsh. When I’m doubting my ability, I remember the delight blazing in the eyes of a woman I met in Trefriw at meeting an American learning Cymraeg. #cymraeg #dysgucymraeg #learnwelsh #welsh meredithaprobert.com/the-welsh-le...

There's nothing like re-reading the classics and finding they're every bit as good (or better) than you remember. Thank you @formerknownasjuan.bsky.social for picking up the box set for me. meredithaprobert.com/revisiting-t...

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

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! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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. 😅

"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...

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...

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/

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.

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...

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...

Third on my list of #Michigan hors chemin: #Muskegon. There's nothing like #LakeMichigan during the summer, but I can do without the crowds. Muskegon gives you two phenomonal options in close proximity: Muskegon State Park and Duck Lake State Park. Read on: joelaprobert.com/michigan-hor...

#2 on my list of #Michigan summer 2025 favourites: #QahwahHouse of Grand Rapids, a welcome oasis on the city's northeast corner—a respite from the endlessly unimaginative big box chains that dominate the suburbs, with late night hours to boot. joelaprobert.com/michigan-hor...

Looking back two decades, I wonder what chance "a skinny kid with a funny name" ever had appealing to our better angels when we were already stewing knee-deep in decades of me-first materialism. It felt like a moment of transformation. Was it just an illusion? joelaprobert.com/americans-ar...

What started as a bit of a rant turned into a lament. That's the power of writing. It forces us to sit down with our thoughts and make sense of them. It makes us face what we're really feeling and name it. Here's part 2 in Americans are the frog in the pot: joelaprobert.com/americans-ar...
