It feels good to be going to the Eisteddfod today in Pontypridd with so much Welsh being spoken around me in this part of Wales, people swapping languages without thinking and with the Trafnidiaeth Cymru Trenau Transport for Wales Rail service being bilingual as usual. Year 2 of Welsh classes start for me next month!

Good to see a mosque at the eisteddfod this year & a Welsh Muslim service tomorrow. So important to strive to be inclusive, especially at the current time. Da iawn to my brilliant colleague Mariyah Zaman & Now In A Minute Media for making this happen. #equalwales #cohesivecommunities

I promised to share the work of Matthew Thomas, a student of @ColegyCymoedd , that was on display at the eisteddfod. The work merges the worlds of cinematic superheroes & environmental activism. It’s inspired by Marvel & Wales’ Well being of Future Generations Act. Da iawn Matt!

In October I’m running the Cardiff Half marathon to raise money for Oasis. This year it feels more important than ever to support this excellent charity. I’d welcome any donation you are able to make. Thank you! #JustGiving justgiving.com/page/derek-wal…

I’m thinking of no longer using X for the obvious reasons. For those of you who already use an alternative platform or have looked into it, what one would you recommend? Bluesky? Mastodon?

So proud of the impact Claire's Campaign Cymru is having. Women are finding connection and voice despite their terrible experiences. Ceri and Jess are sharing their stories so other women survive ā¤ļø

New fossil fuel projects are thought to be on shakier legal ground after this landmark supreme court decision. The judgment found the climate impact of burning coal, oil and gas must be taken into account when deciding whether to approve projects. theguardian.com/environment/20…
