If you’re stressed out about current events, don’t just sit on the couch and doomscroll! Exercise is great for your mental health. Try going for a doomwalk, doomjog or a doomcycle! Meet up with friends and play a game of doomball, or even go to the gym and doomlift. You’ll feel better in no time!

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

A.I. and corporate lingo are trapping language yn the drugged realmes of vague, airy, plastic nothingnesse: glitz and hyperbole wythout meaning. Language sholde have fur and clawes, make the floorboardes creake and leave honest dirtye footprintes. Wordes are rayne and fyre and stone. Wielde them.

Well that was a fascinating short article and podcast on the history of the Welsh language.
My grandad was from Cardiff - and Welsh always felt ancient and magical to me, so I loved this. The podcast starts with a great bit about some ancient Welsh laws that were written down at the time!

Exploring the Welsh language: a Bylines Network Podcast episode
There’s a fuss kicked up every time an English name for a Welsh landmark is replaced by the Welsh language name. Perhaps some awareness raising will help

My favourite variant of “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” is a colloquial Swedish phrase that goes kasta inte bäver i trähus. It means “do not throw beavers in wooden houses”
