Further proof that Stoke Gifford is actually in Wales

This is a handy summary from the Senedd Research service on the issues considered by the Future #Senedd Cttee on how parliamentary business could be reformed for the Seventh Senedd research.senedd.wales/research-art... #devolution

There hasn't been a paper on Vernon Watkins at #AWWE this year, but Dylan Thomas hasn't had many mentions, but it feels like the Manics have definitely embraced Welsh Writing in English.... Pity the that the CREW gang were all at Gregynog rather than Swansea this weekend.

Lovely evening for a book launch! No northern lights this year, but beautiful blue skies #awwe25

We've had Derrida and Zizek and it's not even coffee time yet #awwe25

7am Gregynog walk. Makes up for the 4.5hours sleep... #awwe @awwe.bsky.social

Every now again it’s useful to repeat advice about accessing papers that are behind a paywall that excludes you. Email the author. My estimate is that 90% of academics are so thrilled that a living, breathing, possibly even reading, person shows interest that they will swiftly send you a copy.

Please. Not more mythologising about Owain Glyndwr. There are so many more interesting, relevant, Welsh stories to explore. And y'know, women's narratives too.

Remember: you are only meant to wish Happy St David’s Day *before* midday, if you wish it afterwards it is you that becomes a member of an impotent people, sick with inbreeding, Worrying the carcase of an old song.

For St David’s Day we present our latest Channel 4 News/BBC News long-distance musical collaboration. Ciaran Jenkins (cello) is in Glasgow and I’m in Moscow (on the piano). Together we play Myfanwy. @c4ciaran.bsky.social

Publishing on 3rd March, ‘Murder on Ynys Môn: The Anglesey Crossbow Killing’ by @siontecwyn.bsky.social and Meic Parry is a gripping true crime exploration of a shocking crime for which the killer seemingly had no motive. Pre-order on our website www.serenbooks.com/book/murder-...

The only photo I had the chance to take on my visit to UK Parliament today.

With my Welsh Writing in English hat on, this is exciting news, especially the recognition that "Wales’s stories [are] 'under-explored in the English language'" www.theguardian.com/culture/2025... Time for Ron Berry's Everybody Loves a Saturday Night to make it to the stage? @mchshe.bsky.social

I was lucky enough to study The Waste Land for A Level. Absolutely loved it, and spending weeks studying it gave me a huge advantage in my undergrad. (Thanks Ms McKay!)

Today @hepi-news.bsky.social published a deep dive into policy divergence across the UK, looking at all 4 nations. To find out more watch this👇 and read the report www.hepi.ac.uk

It was so lovely to join friends to celebrate Wynn Thomas's big birthday and latest book earlier this week. He claims he's a failed nation builder, buts he's definitely created a brilliant community
