Londoners! Please come see this one.
️🖼️Salem. Two Welsh artists steal the painting Salem from Liverpool Art Gallery, in an effort to decolonise Welsh art. But when even the painter, the sitters and plenty of people since dispute the painting’s meaning – can any of us proscribe its meaning?

Please take a look. Audio drama is so vital to the industry, but also to listeners.
The BBC is planning to eradicate audio drama from @BBCRadio3, which will be devastating for writers, other creative workers and audiences. Sign our joint petition with @EquityUK and @Soc_of_Authors to Save Audio Drama at the BBC.

Back in the @royallitfund office @SwanseaUni. Misty drive in, the computer is updating like its life depends on it, and Richard Burton remains one of the best office views I’ve ever had.

‘Hoping’ more money will come. The start of negotiations. It’s hard not to get emotional when it comes to Labour, money and tips given the history of the three together. This isn’t good enough from either government. They urgently need clearing.
Westminster has at last conceded money for coal tip safety - but the £25m set aside is nowhere near what's needed. I pressed the First Minister about this issue, to demand that the tips be cleared at Westminster's expense. Our valleys have waited for too long under their shadow.

❤️.
Did you know that A Muppet Christmas Carol contains more lines from Dicken’s original than most other versions? .And this alone is why it is by far the best version and a legitimate reason for me watching it with my year 10 class this year.

MumFighter from @GrandAmbition__ is exceptional. Truly exceptional. Beyond brilliant writing from @tracybright, how-can-that-be-a-debut-it’s-too-good direction from @RichardMylan and a knockout performance from Katie Payne. Beg, borrow, steal and go.

The school run always feels so heightened on this day. I remember my grandmother crying each year. My grandfather mentioned it only once, told me his cousin had gone to help dig the children out, then shut down completely. #CofiwchAberfan.
#otd in 1966, the Aberfan disaster. 116 children and 28 adults killed by the UK National Coal Board. Video from 2024 of the footprint and location of Ysgol Pantglas school. 🔊. Full video:.#Aberfan
