My first post on Bluesky (having, up til now, simply reposted more interesting people). Five years since feels like quite a milestone - probably because it’s longer than the negotiations.
Mainly thinking about brilliant colleagues I am lucky enough to call friends and how emotional this time was.

It is *good* that this mom supported her child and helped them access the reproductive care that they needed. Yet she’s being criminalized for it.
These strategies that criminalize helpers are meant to create fear. It’s evil.

Love this work by Cegin y bobl, teaching kids how to cook healthy food from scratch for a community hub (and the FM). So much potential for good local food and cooking to bring more communities together.
Christmas can be a lonely time for many.
As one of our warm hubs, the Antioch Centre is tackling isolation, bringing together people of all ages to eat, talk and learn.
Ni ddylaf neb fod yn unig dros y Nadolig. Dwi’n cynghori pawb i jecio mewn ar bobl eraill dros yr ŵyl.

Thank you BEYOND Conference for the opportunity share the Well-being of Future Generations Act with delegates.
The importance of cultural wellbeing within the statutory definition of sustainable development is a powerful reminder that culture is not decorative but deeply structural.

I made this video looking at Wales' new tourism tax.
It explores how much it will be, when it is coming in and why they are doing it.
If you prefer it old school I have also done you a thread!

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.
If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.

Would you like a crash course in understanding Wales?
Of course you do.
I think it is time for my first ever Bluesky thread!
These are series of maps to help you better understand the country of Cymru!
