I rarely use either now, and I can't seem to get back into the habit. Which may not be a bad thing, I guess.

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?

I decided to write about 20mph for my Guardian column.

It shows that evidence based policy making does work, but if you get the messaging wrong, you leave the field open for another culture war battle.

From Snowdonia to Eryri: Why the switch to Welsh matters For many Welsh speakers, Eryri and Yr Wyddfa are the names they have used all along.

"People in Wales have their own language and they want to protect their own heritage."

I've not even considered using this on desktop, but I'm going to have to now. I still can't find anyone I know, though!

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... ๐Ÿ“ฐ

Considering this app is trending over on the other app, I can't find many people I actually know on here ๐Ÿ‘€
