📍 Newport 🧡
I stopped using X/Twitter as much recently and rarely post on it all now. But I've also seemed to have just stopped posting anything to anywhere other than Instagram.

Anyone else experiencing this or is it just me?

The amount of time I spent curating my Tweetdeck does NOT bear thinking about 🫠
If all you really want is Tweetdeck c. 2016 back with all your lists and columns and consequent false sense of control, then you want deck.blue

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!

Interesting timing.

I've still not seen many/any news brands make the move over to BlueSky yet... 📰

Considering this app is trending over on the other app, I can't find many people I actually know on here 👀
