"Why alt-rock bass players were so often women in the 90s"

A fascinating 1999 study probed this question by interviewing 43 women who played bass at the time

Wedi ffeindio fe braidd yn ddryslyd "darllen" tair nofel (llyfr go iawn, e-lyfr, llyfr sain) yr un pryd oedd â bach gormod mewn cyffredin; ill tair yn storiau am fenyw ifanc, nail ai yn y person cynta, neu'r trydydd person cyfyngedig; roedd bod ym mhen tair menyw wahanol, gyda lleisiau/personaliaethau unigryw, ond gyda thipyn mewn cyffredin, yn ormod i'r dyn bach digon cyfyngedig ei ddychymig hwn!

@nic Chwarae teg i ti! Mae fy ngwraig i'n darllen tua 5 llyfr ar y tro mewn cyfryngau amrywiol, sa i cweit yn siŵr fel mae hi'n gwneud e! Dim ond un llyfr dwi'n gallu delio gyda ar y tro

This is a really really interesting article on cutting car use in Gent. Hoping that the councillors who implemented changes here are rewarded for their behaviour too, as so far it's the loudest voices that are being heard in Exeter https://www.globalcyclingnetwork.com/lifestyle/interviews/how-to-half-car-usage-in-less-than-a-decade-a-tour-of-gent

@nic Mae'n chwaraeus iawn yntydi! Mae hi yn bendant yn joio creu a dylunio cymeriadau. Dwi 100 o dudalennau mewn ar y foment, a does gen i ddim syniad beth rwy'n meddwl o unrhyw un!

@nic Newydd gorffen y nofel - mae'n digon tywyll! Eithaf cwl bod nofel Cymraeg yn delio gyda themau mor dywyll. Sa i' siwr os taw joio yw'r gair, ond gobeithio bod e'n ddarlleniad difyr!

dyfrig,
@dyfrig@toot.wales avatar

@nic Roedd e yn hynod o dywyll, a roeddwn i'n gallu gweld y diwedd yn dod gyda cwarter y llyfr ar ôl. Ond mae'n grêt bod llenyddiaeth Gymraeg yn dechrau delio da'r fath bynciau (er byddai fi ddim eisiau pob nofel i fod fel hwn)

A colleague shared this programme by the BBC on issues around second homes in Wales and the Meibion Glyndwr campaign. Was quite a shock to hear the BBC actually acknolwedge the intricacies of the issue - a good listen https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001x4x3 #Housing #Wales

Grêt i gael podlediad arall am seiclo trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Eithaf cŵl bod Pen y Pass yn ffocysu ar seiclo Cymru cyfoes, er bod yna ychydig am seiclo proffesiynol hefyd https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/penypass

Roeddwn i mas ar y beic graean unwaith eto bore ma, ffordd wych o weld cefn gwlad Dyfnaint.

Went out on the gravel bike again this morning, what a way to explore Devon.

"Describing the slowness of change is often confused with acceptance of the status quo. It’s really the opposite: an argument that the status quo must be changed, and it will take steadfast commitment to see the job through" https://lithub.com/rebecca-solnit-slow-change-can-be-radical-change/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=pocket_hits&utm_campaign=POCKET_HITS-EN-WE < This is very good on slow change by Rebecca Solnit #change #ChangeIsHard #Activism

Roedd e'n cŵl mynd i Gasnewydd ddoe i weld band y brawd mawr - gwych os dy chi'n hoffi pync. Mae Casnewydd wedi newid mor gymaint - edrych yn rili neis nawr, ond eithaf dawel. Siomedig bod y Murenger wedi cau.

Loved heading to Newport yesterday to see my bro's band - they're amazing if you like punk. Newport has changed loads - it's scrubbed up well, but very quiet unfortunately. Gutted that the Murenger's closed down.

@DrEdBridges They may just be renovating it? But it was closed and looked a right mess from the outside. I don't go to Newport often unfortunately, so was gutted not to have a pint there!

@dyfrig@toot.wales avatar

@DrEdBridges It's been so long since I've been there that I hadn't realised Le Pub was on the high street now! Amazing to have that, Tiny Rebel (and fingers crossed) the Murenger on one street 🤞

@nic @DrEdBridges Strong band name - will check them out!

@nic Doeddwn ni ddim yn disgwyl i nhw fod o Wrecsam! Mae'n wych bod y sîn Gymraeg yn ehangu i'r raddau fod bandiau Metal Du ar gael 🤘
