What else is there to say, at this point.
I'm calling it right now: 2026 is the Year of the Witch
But for real, there's something changing in the air (I feel it in the water, says Galadriel).
Systems of power and abuse are fracturing and eating themselves alive. (Maddow's "it's getting brighter every day now", anyone?) Environmental awareness is coming back to the forefront. People are trying to break their phone addictions in lieu of crafting and gardening and reading and creating *something*. Paganism & witchcraft is gaining exponential interest and awareness and at bare minimum, acceptance.
A lot is ending right now, but a lot is also beginning and growing. Lets sink into our communities and our people and continue this wonderful energy that is beginning to glow.
0pol,
Christmas has been tough this year, I didn't think it would be since I have been living in my own house since August and have always been good at being alone.
I realised yesterday, that despite having lived alone before I have always spent Christmas Eve night and Christmas day at my parents, which just wasn't possible this year.
Okay the WEIRDEST THING is going going down right now
So some guy in Michigan in the US has just found a letter in his grandmother’s house; it seems to be a pen pal letter from 1973ish, and it’s from a young Welsh girl. In it, she lists:
Her name, and the names of her brother (Gwynedd) and sister (Catrin)
Their ages
Where she lives in Wales (Denbigh)
Her hobbies, including horse riding and reading pony books.
So this American dude decides to take a photo, whack it on Twitter and ask the only Welsh person he knows if there’s any way to track this Welsh girl down, because you know, ALL WELSH PEOPLE KNOW EACH OTHER, OBVIOUSLY
Except
I am furious to report that it has worked
Welsh person he tags doesn’t know, but takes up the challenge. Someone reckons the Catrin might be a woman who translated a hymn book once, and checks the foreword to see that the dates and ages do seem to be about right. Someone else suddenly has a brainwave - wait, isn’t she the mother of Steff, the comedian?
My husband gets tagged, takes one look at this letter, and is like “That is 1000% my aunt.”
So now it’s 20 to midnight, Steff’s aunt has obviously not yet seen the excited message to put Twitter out of their misery, and my mother-in-law is currently on the phone gleefully telling us that when that letter was written her sister had never sat on a horse in her life before, and she’d lied to an American pen pal for clout before the internet even existed.
Post Cymru Swyddogol (Official Wales Post)
official michigan post
A Welsh comedian, Elis James, does a radio show which has a segment called ‘Cymru Connections’ where another Welsh person calls into the show and he has 1 minute to question them about their life until he finds someone the both know. I’ve never seen him fail.
Its almost like having small total populations make it easier to find specific people. Willllllld. Almost like. When there isnt a population that spreads over 100 million+ people over 1000s of miles, its easier to know someone that knows someone. Maybe easier is the incorrect word. More likely??? Is more likely the word/phrase? Idk. Im bad with articulating thoughts but the science is sound. I feel like this situation applies to like iceland or new zealand too. Like this is just a population vs geographical size thing right??
Okay i checked the population counts of these 3 small countries and they barely total 10 million combined. Iceland doesnt even have a million. (Wales is around 3-4 mill and NZ is around 5-6 mill)
New zealand has around 268k square kilometers of land, wales has around 21k square kilometers of land, and iceland around 100k square kilometers of land.
Combine that with the fact you knew where this person lived, knew their name, knew the names of their siblings, its not that hard to imagine the one friend, “hey do you or anyone you know know about this person?” Like the first friend knows dozens of people they can ask. Each one if those people knows dozens or more. Like very quickly you realize the world is small and everyone knows everyone somehow. What a beautiful world we live in.
It’s almost like this was a light hearted post about a mildly diverting thing that happened and not a serious treatise on international relations

STOP making jokes about the welsh language being ridiculous, STOP saying that welsh people are “meant for the mines,” STOP using hiraeth as an aesthetic word, STOP refusing to learn welsh pronunciations because they “look too hard.” kill the british coloniser in your mind. read about about the blue books, the welsh-not, or any of the things that were said about welsh people at the height of their oppression WHICH ARE STILL BEING SAID NOW.
Welsh pronunciation is not hard, it is just DIFFERENT!
I'm sorry, that double L is a bitch.
I have been quiet on here for a while, because I have had nothing to say lately

Hot take: I don't care if someone "contributes to society" or not. They are a person and still deserve human rights, food, and shelter.
Yes absolutely

I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.
