A bit of unexpected psychogeography in Swansea. The dead grass reveals the old tram lines preserved in modern town planning, criss-crossing the harbour side. Ghost trams travelling to their final stop at the tram museum at the waterfront.

Well @davidmbarnett.bsky.social I'm now hooked (terrible nautical pun, soz) since Withered Hill. Folk horror at its best. Any disenfranchised, exploited area will recognise the places in these books, from Ceredigion in Wales to Whitby in England, Scuttler's Cove has echoes everywhere 🦀 Recommended

Haaahahahahaa O My God. #kickball or something

A screenshot of a BBC News article. The header reads 'Fan has huge £550 tattoo declaring England World Cup winners'.
They lost obviously.

I expected more screaming ⭐⚪⚪⚪⚪

An advert for a room projector. The walls are lit up in apparently soothing shades of dusky purple. The advert reads 'My bedroom sounds like a cabin in the woods now'.

I just got my first copy of @iwa-wales.bsky.social magazine and, chwarae teg, it looks tidy 👍 Much to dive into, incl. an interview with @queeremporium.bsky.social (you will be missed!) #cymru #lgbtqia #lhdtc Support Welsh journalism!

A page in the I.W.A magazine, titled 'interview: The Queer Emporium'

A Roman altar, relocated from Priory Street in Carmarthen, to the porch of Saint Peter's church.

Beautiful modern stained glass in an ancient church. St. Peter's church, Caerfyrddin. The oldest continually used building in Carmarthenshire and the site of an earlier Celtic church (the churchyard is circular, indicating an ancient site) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #stainedglasssunday

A stained glass window of a branching tree, with a radiating sun towards the top. It's framed by gothic masonry forming three long 'lancet' panes.

No. That dog will be dead by the time anyone responds. Break the car window 🔨 and fuck whoever leaves their pet in a hot car. They don't deserve to have a dog.

Gwyl Ifan hapus, pawb! 🌞 Last night was Nos Galan Ifan, one of y Tair Ysbrydnos (the Three Spirit Nights). Keep cool, pour libations for EVERYONE in this weather (incl. wildlife), do your divinings if you haven't already and I hope you have a beautiful Midsummer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A bunch of St. John's wort, cut on nos gwyl Ifan (St. John's Eve), tied with red string and hanging to dry from a wooden lintel in the kitchen.

Is #spookySaturday a thing? Na? Anyway enjoy a random 70s family wedding slide I just found in my late dad's photo hoard. I've no idea who these people are but am LOVING the creepy summer vibes. Probably a #hookland wedding. Happy solstice/Alban Hefyd hapus pawb! 💐🌞

A blurred photo slide. Two you bridesmaids in utterly hideous 70s dresses stand in a garden, backed by overgrown, hideously frilly roses. The vibe is Midsommar.

A Hookland fundraising gig, at the High Sorrow (inspired by @cultauthor.bsky.social ) #hookland #cutandpaste #90s

A cut and paste poster for a fundraising gig in Hookland by the ancient goths, held at the High Sorrow pub. 'An appreciation of the monuments'.

I generally mock online quizzes ('What Type of Cheese Are You?' etc) but dammit this was accurate

A description that reads 'The Quaker' as the result of an online quiz to imagine the type of person you might have been in early medieval times.

If you see this, post your bird art

Monochrome patchwork and embroidery of a crow, the outline picked out in chainstitch.

Dyn Hysbys@dynhysbys· May 25

The timing seems right, so soon after divisions in local communities were highlighted during the Senedd elections. A local More in Common community picnic, supporting the Jo Cox Foundation, come meet the neighbours (I'll be repping the Quakers & Queers)

A poster inviting anyone who wishes to come, to a 'More in Common' picnic at Newbridge Fields, Bridgend, at 1:30 on 21st June 2026. Please bring a food contribution if you wish.

Oddly enough I saw this fella yesterday at Castell Henllys

A carved celtic stone head likely prechristian

Dyn Hysbys@dynhysbys· May 17

OBSESSED with this 12th(?) century font in St Llawddog's church, Cenarth. The celtic style head carvings, o my god. Wish I'd made the 'Celtic prayer' service this morning, but we had to head home. Amser nesaf!

A grey stone font, with three beautifully simple celtic heads (angels) carved on it. 12th century, Welsh.

#pubsigns I admit, seeing some changes around my old haunts made me feel ooold. Happily, Tafarn y Penllwyndu is almost exactly as my dad left it, back in the 80s! I like the new stained glass door, inspired by the original pub sign. Anyway, support your local pub, and fuck wetherspoons.

A stained glass door panel, showing a man hanging from a gallows.

The Penllwyndu pub sign, showing a man hanging from a gallows.

#StandingStoneSunday The Gellidywyll stone, in the graveyard of St. Llawddog's church, Cenarth, Cymru. The worn inscription is to/by CVRCAGN-FILI ANDAGELI (Curcagnus, son of Andageli) though I've no idea who they may have been! Very similar to the Bodvoc stone nearer home. Approx 5th/6th century.

A standing stone, about 4 feet tall, with faint latin writing carved vertically on one side

Ffynnon Llawddog, Cenarth. Dwr sanctaidd! A beautiful little holy spring, with clear, cool, healing water running down into the Teifi. Payed my respects to Sant Llawddog and bottled some for Workings. #Cymru #Wales #holywells #witchsky #dwr #magick

Cenarth heddiw 💚 braf 🌞

A panoramic photo of the River Teifi, Cenarth. A sunny day with clear skies.

Not your Mamgu's carthen. Just playing with Welsh textile patterns, Japanese boro, random mark-making on fabric. I really like reproducing rough sketches on textiles. Dropping 2 other pieces at the gallery tomorrow, it's so refreshing getting creative again. #welshart #Cymru #wales #textiles #art

A monochrome patchwork of four rough quilt squares, with abstract marks, stitches and patterns from Welsh textiles.

Dyn Hysbys@dynhysbys· May 11

Well, that improved my day! A local gallery just accepted my pieces for a group call out for work. I haven't exhibited in a gallery in decades, feels weird. #artsky #welshart #textileart #gallery

A close-up of textile art. Black and white patchwork, sashiko stitches and embroidery collage into a rough quilt square. Symbols and a crow outline in stitched line work.

I can see the polling station from my window, and I'm hoping for the best, bracing for whatever.

Dyn Hysbys@dynhysbys· May 5

As election day looms ever closer (vote Plaid 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 obvs) I'm keeping the Horrors at bay by doodling with needle and thread. Apotropaic stitching. Much more satisfying than paper and ink.

Er cof annwyl am Riley 💔 It's been exactly a week and I miss her so much it's honestly taken me by surprise today. Her ashes are due to arrive tomorrow. I'll have to find a sprinkling spot in the garden that isn't piss-scorched. Love ya, Stinks x
