This is tomorrow! Should be a fun chat with Alex about his fascinating and very entertaining romp through a century of Welsh literature. So much to chew over, and all in the care of the truly brilliant @montylitfest. Best cakes on the circuit.
Are you ready to take the Alex Johnson time challenge and discover Wales through its feast of writing? @mikeparkerwales finds out how brave Alex has been 😆
Come and see them discuss a Year of Reading Welshly at Monty Lit Fest on June 13th

So many awful things this last week, but one that’s left me feeling sick to the pit of my belly is the vile interview of @zarahsultana on @GMB today.
Those conceited idiots shouting over her, drunk on their own voices, will never realise how much THEY have fomented our problems.

Such a glorious piece from @LukeTurnerEsq about the bisexual experience. Beautiful, moving, horny and funny.
