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?' 💫

TIL, World Book Day in the UK is not the same as the real UNESCO World Book Day.

In order to avoid St.George's Day?!

Aye, and the UK is the place where freedom of speech is being infringed.
One year ago, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in prison.

On the first anniversary of Navalny's death, Russian law enforcement officers detained at least 42 people at gatherings commemorating him.

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.

Great article shared by a colleague which shows the challenges of describing LGBTQ+ identity yn Gymraeg, but also the positive aspects of increased visibility eg on S4C.
