Since moustaches are back, check out Goronwy ap Tudur's 'tache on his richly-carved alabaster effigy in St Gredifael's Church, Penmynydd. It's a beauty. A seasoned military man, Goronwy was described by one poet as a 'wild boar in battle'.

1/2 Iolo did turn away some money if it was connected to slavery, sometimes when he was in real financial hardship, and boycotted slave-grown sugar

He also took handouts from his enslaver brothers, got a hefty inheritance from their Jamaica estates, and sold other products made by enslaved people

Iolo Morganwg matched his words with action. He was a vocal opponent of Britain’s involvement in the slave trade. Although he struggled financially for most of his life, Iolo turned away profit if it was connected to slavery ✍️Jerry Hunter wp.me/p8Mk4U-1dmE

In the neighborhood where Renee Good was killed, a pastor keeps patrolling for ICE MINNEAPOLIS (RNS) — ‘There’s no option for me,’ said the Rev. Ashley Horan during a neighborhood patrol. ‘It is my responsibility to care for my neighbors in this way.’

ICYMI: This week I rode along with a Unitarian Universalist minister as she patrolled the same neighborhood where Renee Good was killed, looking for ICE.

“We’re gonna keep taking care of people who are impacted,” she told me. “We’re gonna keep getting braver.” religionnews.com/2026/01/14/i...
