I’ve never seen any one else singing in a car

I just refuse to believe it. What are they doing the whole time? Concentrating? 🀣

Genuine question: I use my time driving to sing. A lot. Like none stop.

I never see anyone else belting songs out when they pass me.

Is it not normal to sing when driving!?

If you ask that you truly don’t understand the damage of colonialism and its long reaching impacts. You only have to look at the Welsh language to see how still, every day, people belittle it and try and erase it from existence.

Absolutely love these little bore waves that keep appearing on an otherwise totally calm estuary. Is there anyone more marine adept than I who can explain the physics?

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing. Almost makes me want to move back to Cardiff. Almost.

I think the issue here is that it’s very rural and there’s barely any infrastructure for bikes (where I am, very north)

This is the most frightening development at the moment, frightening because barely anyone is aware of what’s happening up in space and that it’s all developing at the speed of light.

Cannot describe how much I wish there was a β€˜bike bus’ in this country and how much joy it would bring me to see that πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, google β€˜bike bus Portland’

Did I hear that right? Jeremy Kyle, disgraced talk show host, has been training Reform candidates in Wales?

What kind of fever dream is this

Anti-nature rhetoric damaging voter confidence in Labour, new poll finds | The Wildlife Trusts 19% less likely to vote Labour because Starmer threatens to remove nature rules

New poll finds Labour’s anti-nature rhetoric is costing voter trust.

After Keir Starmer called environmental protections misguided, 19% of 2024 Labour voters are less likely to vote Labour again.

Attacking wildlife protections is not a winning strategy.
