November is Men's Mental Health Month. Having battled severe anxiety & depression myself, I know the weight of silence. Men, your strength is not keeping problems quiet. Speak out. A problem shared is a problem solved. ❤️ #MensMentalHealth #SpeakUp

The core chapter is finally out of my head and onto the page! Rough draft of the new Chapter 6 complete (yes, I split Chapter 4 in half, numbering is chaos!). It needs serious editing (& a spell check 😅), but this is the foundation of my conference paper on Thatcher opposition.Victory!

ON THIS DAY: October 17, 1814 – The London Beer Flood!

Sounds like a joke, but it was a devastating tragedy. A massive vat at the Meux & Co brewery burst, sending 135,000 gallons of porter surging into the streets of St Giles. 8 people tragically died. Read details: theunchartedpast.com
