So chuffed to be part of this excellent collection.
I've been a bit rubbish with #BertVent this year... We've still been doing it, but I've forgotten to tell you what they are.
So we're gonna do a mega-thread!
These are the books I've enjoyed the most in this year. Each day during December, we've given one away!

What didn’t kill me didn’t make me stronger.
It gave me crippling anxiety, a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms, some really nasty nightmares, the ability to drink enough caffeine to kill a horse, and made me into a cynic who cusses way more than necessary.

It’s that special time of year where I tell you about 19th century Christmas cards being so batshit weird!
Here’s a podcast I did with Dr Ferren Gipson - expect clowns assaulting cops, polar bears savaging men, giant wasps attacking kids, and more weird animal fun!

It is a calm early evening in Kyiv.
No power at home
(usually, two power outages a day, 2-3 hours each).
I came to the cafe nearby
to have a #warcoffee
I hope all the events happening in the world
are a good sign that freedom and democracy have a chance.
But I try to stay realistic. Let's see.
