Very happy to have a short story of mine called 'Annwn Fach' published in Gwyllion magazine. The story, which is about a girl who works as an engineer in Mawrth Vallis, arises from the question 'what is the place of earthly mythology having settled on another planet?' 🪐✨

Hapus iawn i gael cyhoeddi stori fer gen i o'r enw 'Annwn Fach' yng nghylchgrawn Gwyllion. Mae'r stori, sydd am ferch sy'n gweithio fel peiriannydd yn Mawrth Vallis, yn codi o'r cwestiwn 'beth yw lle mytholeg ddaearol o ymsefydlu ar blaned arall?' 💫

Leafing through a 1990s Wales from the Air book, and surprised to see that Caerfyrddin/Carmarthen appears to be built around a cosmic phallus. Is it Merlin’s?

Gwrando ar sgwrs Karl Davies ar bodlediad Rhaglen Cymru. Efallai bod pobl China yn hapus i gyfnewid rhyddid gwleidyddol a mynegiant dros strydoedd glân a llewyrch technolegol ond well gen i fyw mewn twll na derbyn carcharu newyddiadurwyr, gwasgu lleiafrifoedd a bygwth Taiwan.

Heard this shocking programme on Radio 4. I think it's easy to think that South Korea is pretty progressive, but these stories were appalling. 'I got rape threats over claims I put feminist symbol in video game', says South Korea designer - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Capital's decision to dispose of Welsh language programmes and music from Capital Cymru is a huge loss for audiences in north Wales. The mix of mainstream pop and Welsh songs with a distinct voice is unique and leaves a lingusitically precarious audience with no option but turn to English.

Looking for new house music and saw suggestions for a mix by DJ Sprinkles called Midtown 120 Blues. Turns out it's not online or to buy digitally ANYWHERE. Little did I know how thrillingly political the album and the artist are. A little thread... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midtown...

One thing I really like here is the feed organisation. I don't like following lots of accounts, and don't like retweets, so the OnlyPosts (no RTs) feed is amazing, and the Followers feed allows me to dip into what the people who follow me are saying without having to follow them back.

Reading about the international cornichon market, after spotting that my jar of delectable crunchy cucs, were from India and packed in Poland. It was a pretty bad summer for India even though the crop was good, supply chain bottlenecks meant the farmers prioritised exports over locals ☺️

I think I know why I like Bluesky now and why I liked early Twitter. A loose communication cluster of enough people I like (prob around 50), where there's no pressure to be on message, no "audience", no "brand". I'm just freely sharing some stuff with no thought of likes or interaction.
