The arts in Wales need urgent support. The sector’s at a “critical tipping point” because of “eye-watering” building costs, reduced funding and staff burnout, new research by Creu Cymru warns.

Belatedly watched the BBC Casualty Christmas episode on the importance of blood donation. I’ve donated for 25 years and still don’t understand how anyone who can donate chooses not to. If you’d accept donated blood for you or your family, make it your New Year’s resolution to donate blood.

Yes, I am still interested in getting to Cathays but the train I’m on has been held outside Cardiff Central so I’ve now missed the 10:41 that would’ve got me to Cathays.

Curse the day the direct train from Cadoxton to Cathays ended. Makes it much harder getting from Barry to the Sherman Theatre.

Happy 21st birthday for yesterday to my Primark dressing gown which is now as old as I was when I received her from my Grandma & Grandad.

Is this deinfluencing?

The peril of fluffy jumper and scarf season when you have useless tiny eyelashes. Constantly have something in my eye.

Have you ever seen or shared an 'oh no' cartoon?
Did you know the creator is a queer Welsh artist?
Did you know they're being agressively pursued & harassed w/lawsuits from a US organisation trying to steal their intellectual property?
Did you know you can donate to cover the horrific legal costs?

Boris Johnson on Jeremy Vine BBC Radio 2:
“Totally normal workplace events” Not when we weren’t allowed to spend time with other humans
“Alcohol isn’t illegal” no but no one else drinks at work!

I could do with it being easier to switch between profiles on Bluesky if this place is to be anywhere near as useful as the other place.

🧵 Super proud to announce the publication of Not Much Rhymes With Cancer by Emily Thomas.

A real labour of love and a special collaborative project by some of Em’s mates & family. A privilege to have been part of making this happen.
So proud that Em’s words are out there.

Had to buy some jeans yesterday (I only had one pair and they’re too big and the holes in them aren’t going to be my friend when it gets colder) and I didn’t cry! It was close (because shops don’t think you can be both short and chubby) but we got there. Proud of myself.

Anyone else get a kick out of the a best before date when it’s your birthday or, in this case, Christmas?

A buttery advent calendar.
