Hey #Welsh people: do you know of any #glassblowers in Wales, capable of creating a blown lamp shade?

Recommendations for some open source #genealogy software?

This horrific cough has been torturing me since March. Ugh.

Some of these make for bleak reading (especially the headliner, but that's no surprise) but here's a good summary of what the different #Welsh parties are pledging regarding #museums and #heritage: https://www.museumsassociation.org/museums-journal/news/2026/04/reform-pledges-to-end-political-indoctrination-in-heritage-in-wales/

This is fantastically nerdy, I just love it.

The V&A has added the first YouTube video to its collection, via a reconstructed watchpage that shows it as it was in 2006.

Because how else to you collect and curate the experience of watching a video IN THE PAST?

Well worth a read, it's fascinating!

Yesterday I visited Dylan Thomas' boathouse and writing shed in #Laugharne for the first time. It's a ditty little museum but very charming! Plus it was a VERY beautiful day for it.

I'll freely admit I knew very little about Dylan Thomas before visiting, and now I know a smidge more (including what he sounded like). Winning, right?

An excellent @thecwordpodcast@glammr.us excursion all in all!
