i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

In an effort to be more mindful and to try to focus on the positives in my life instead of the negatives I've recently started journaling, writing down pleasant experiences and at least one good thing that happened me each day. Hopefully soon it'll help change my pessimistic perspective 🙏

1. #MedievalSky, grab a lifejacket and a seasickness bag, we’re casting off on a thread about the Norman invasion fleet in 1066! 960 years ago, the Normans landed at Pevensey and established a base at the Roman shore fort which was already succumbing to erosion from the sea on its south side. 1/20
Photograph of Pevensey Castle with an information board in the foreground showing an artists impression of how the view may have looked in 1066 when the sea came almost up to the walls.

Old guy in the pub last night asked me about my tattoo and when I mentioned the words "jesus giving birth out of his side vagina" he had such a visceral reaction he stumbled backwards away from me shaking his head in disgust as if I was carrying the plague. Great reaction. Loved it.

Wonderful to see such an internationalist turn out for today's rally for independence. Representatives from the celtic nations as well as others fighting for independence and especially great to hear the call for an end to complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people 🇵🇸

I think an additional problem is that there are people who THINK they are media literate bc they learned some buzzwords & some tropes but they don’t know how to apply them & it’s turned from analysis into a spotters guide where you tick things off. Eg. Depiction =/= Glamorisation or endorsement!

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

It's so funny to see a man deliberately sink a coastguard boat and knowing he will face no legal action over it. Crimes are when people protest a genocide. Crimes aren't when a man tries to drown someone on video

Llys Rhosyr would have been one of dozens of similar estates in Gwynedd. The enclosed site would have been made up of numerous buildings, including a hall, kitchens, larders and store rooms, chambers for the prince to rest in, it would have effectively been a town in miniature.

It's Glyndwr's day. The sixteenth of September is the date traditionally given as the date Owain Glyndwr, surrounded by a band of family and supporters, was proclaimed the Prince of Wales. While Glyndwr's revolt is often viewed through the prism of a Welsh-english conflict is worth noting that...

#OTD 16 September 1400, Owain Glyn Dŵr and his Tudur cousins of Anglesey rose in revolt against English rule. It began a decade-long military struggle for independence armed with an ideological vision for a unified Wales that took 600 more years to (partly) secure. Read more

I don't believe in God. But I'm rereading Julian of Norwich's Revelations and am again struck by the beauty and simplicity of her message. Beneath all the theologising and the metaphor she comes to one basic and radical conclusion: god is love. To love is to know god...absolute gut punch every time
