From my local WhatsApp group:

The Welsh Government are doing a consultation on its pro-trans schools policy. UK Gender Critical activists are upset and are trying to brigade it to push it in an anti-trans direction. Please fill out the consultation to try to reinforce the pro-trans stance.

The deadline is 31 July 2025.

NB: Please only respond if you live in Wales! If you don't but want to help, please boost this and share it on other social networks. Thank you. ✨

Interim head coach Matt Sherratt said Wales's 31-22 win over Japan on Saturday "has got to be the start of something" after his side ended its record 18-game losing streak. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/07/12/more-sports/wales-ends-losing-streak-japan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports#braveblossoms #wales#eddiejones #mattsherratt

"Aaron Hendry ... set up an organisation, Kick Back, to offer wraparound support for young people sleeping rough, including 24/7 accommodation, health services, and legal advice ... He suggested New Zealand follow the lead of Wales, which trialled the 'Duty to Assist' legislation, which is a homelessness prevention strategy that's been successfully implemented to enforce the human right to housing."

Definitely more sheep for today’s Daily #Wales, so - naturally - #defaidodon (also play spot the black lamb)

Had a long weekend in southern #Eryri and tried to squeeze in some training (i.e. drag people up mountains with me).

- Climbed Aran Fawddwy from Cwm Cywarch, pleased with this as it was the only "Welsh Major"/P600 peak I didn't climb last year
- Did a social run in the hills around Machynlleth, some good climbing/descending practice (not technically Eryri, but adjacent)
- Had an easy day walking around Harlech, paddling in the sea, with views of Yr Wyddfa from the castle battlements
- Hiked around Rhinog Fawr, but didn't summit as the ascent was a bit scrambly and some of the party weren't confident reversing it. Will come back for it!

Today I learned the words for 'jellyfish' in Irish and Welsh

🇮🇪 jellyfish = 'smugairle róin’ = seal snot

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 jellyfish ='cont y môr' = sea cunt

You are very welcome! 😉

(American followers having conniptions at the second one )
