Not that old journalism was any better, but

Not me, terrified by the state of modern journalism

Back to posting soon - bit of a rut with exams and such but we're getting there...

New blog post on Hywel Dda, medieval Welsh king! https://t.co/ntfVuquqfm

[Alana @alanainvn2]

New article on Anarawd ap Rhodri https://t.co/2sTNfFuiJ0 who, if anything, must have been one of the most busy and talented Merfynion. Plenty of fights against the Vikings, politicking with the Mercians, and general warfare.

I'm almost embarrassed to say that I haven't actually played it yet - I'm saving up and will inform you of my opinions on it asap! So far the history nerds have told me it's out of this world, others haven't been so glowing. I'll have to see...

[Alana @alanainvn2]

That's alright - I'm somewhat English - yes 'blog' is mutated and my blog can be mutated any way you please 😂💕

[Alana @alanainvn2]

The amount of Assassin's Creed:Valhalla fans who are on my latest post 😂

[Alana @alanainvn2]

https://t.co/GbkNOah05O My article on Rhodri Mawr (who appears in Assassin's Creed:Valhalla), Welsh medieval King who won a lot of victories against Vikings and English, and expanded Gwynedd territory a lot! He's awesome, I swear.

Or the scandals with conditions in the child care system...

[mabinogion2019 @mabinogion2019]

@KevinPascoe @Mr_ReadingTown I am not surprised, because the mind set of the way our society is run is Victorian in outlook. Look at the way children have been treated by this present government as regards school dinners. The protection of children is a myth.

[Arachne Kallisti @arachnekallisti]

@nameshiv Let's have some Mabinogion or Tain Bo Cuailnge adaptations for a change. Or if you MUST do Arthur, leave in all the really batshit bits like the werewolf knight, Sir Bedivere being a witch, and Sir Balin blowing up entire kingdoms with the Lance of Longinus.

In the #Mabinogion, Tomen-y-Mur was Mur Castell, the court of Lleu Llaw Gyffes and his flower-conjured wife Blodeuwedd

Little is known about the tomen itself, a 6.5m high Medieval castle mound, which reused the Roman fort wall as an outer bailey
