Map may show evidence of Wales' Atlantis off Ceredigion
There is a Welsh legend that speaks of a hidden lost kingdom that's been around since the 1200s maybe even earlier. Well two academics have just found proof that the legend may have been true this whole time. First a mediaeval map showing two islands in Cardigan Bay was discovered. This along with the legend was enough to push Professor Simon Haslett to go and find them. And he's only gone and proven that they were there, and the legend of a Welsh Atlantis was true all along.
'Inclusive Barbies are a major step in my life'
A group of celebs are involved in a new line of barbies being released by Mattel this week. These new barbies include a doll in a wheelchair, one with a prosthetic leg, another with a hearing aid and a ken doll with vitiligo. Representation matters and these dolls are not only going to be incredible for children who have grown up with these disabilities or conditions, but they show all children that these things are normal and a part of life. *sniff sniff* can someone hand us the tissue box?
Women in Finland post party videos to back PM Sanna Marin
You may have seen that a video was recently leaked to the press in Finland of their Prime Minister Sanna Marin at a party. In this video she is dancing at one of her friends' houses and generally having a good time. But this video has caused quite the stir because she's a young woman who’s in a position of power and that means she can’t do those things apparently. Well there is a silver lining to this story because women all over Finland have been posting videos of themselves at parties in support of their PM. Because in the words of Sanna herself she's an “individual, a real person as well as a prime minister”. Don’t you just love to see women supporting other women?
