THIS PAINTING IS SO GAY! Edmund Dulac’s 1920 portrait depicts lifelong partners Charles Ricketts & Charles Shannon as medieval saints with golden halos. It’s a defiant statement challenging the Church’s condemnation of homosexuality. The final touch, a peacock feather, a gay symbol at the time.

I’m excited to share my second finished Halloween project of the season, a turnip Jack-o’-lantern! The practice of decorating jack-o'-lanterns originated in Ireland, where large turnips were hollowed out, carved and turned into lanterns with the intention of warding off unwanted visitors. 🎃

So. Freakin'. Pretty.

A consultation is open until Wednesday 28 October over Cardiff's Llanrumney data centre. Make your voice heard: the neighbouring Rhymney River is home to otters, kingfishers and bats. The data centre could be bad news for them.

2026 Mari Lwyd pin badges are available! These beautiful glow in the dark pins are a matching set (one left one right) each featuring a jingling bell in a colour of your choosing: rowynnellis.etsy.com #marilwyd #festivepins #welshart

"Then the Irish kindled a fire under the Cauldron of Rebirth, and they cast the dead bodies into the Cauldron until it was full, and the next day they came forth fighting men as good as before, except that they were not able to speak." - The Mabinogi (Welsh folklore) 🎨Margaret Jones #BookWormSat

Good news, everyone! My latest publication, _The Book of Theyzolius_, is finally available through general retail distribution channels! So if for some reason you wanted to pick it up but weren't able to make purchases via Lulu, you should now be able to do so on the other site.

We really need to stop calling it "conversion therapy" and start using its true name: "mental torture for queer and trans kids".

However, we should consider how we support good journalism; if you live in Cymru, for example (or care about what happens here) you should consider subscribing to the excellent @willhaycardiff.bsky.social newsletter.

The BBC’s cuts in Wales show that we can not rely on the Westminster parties in the UK Government to protect Wales’ interests. Plaid Cymru will always demand the powers we need to make a difference to the lives of the people of Wales.

Plaid Cymru’s calls ahead of next week’s budget are clear. Andy Burnham’s Government must end the decades long short-changing of Wales.

It’s come to something when a photographer has to get legal advice, before displaying this photo in an exhibition, due to the risk of being prosecuted as a terrorist, but that’s exactly what I had to do yesterday. What a state this country is in.
