.@bonesandbugs. Hullo, Beth, my son Henry is a big dodo fan — and you’re a huge inspiration! He has made a podcast explaining his dodo love. (We had to visit the only Nicobar pigeon in the UK the other day!) Anyway, just thought I’d share. Thanks! X https://t.co/MPdn3EfNoG
If you do one thing today, you should seek out this handsome, beautifully-written, and slightly ridiculous book by @TheLaarsHead. And find out how Jack the Ripper just might have been Adolf Hitler. https://t.co/Inuuha8jE4 #jacktheripper
My copy of Jack of All Trades: The Untold Lives of Jack The Ripper by @TheLaarsHead has arrived. The whole family are delighted and I fully intend to get round to reading it one day.
Read the excellent biography of Harry Price by @ahistoryinart by the fireside in a pub in Draperstown in Ireland last night. It led to a big discussion on the supernatural with the wonderful locals. Lot of ghosts out there, it seems. (I had nothing…)
@TychyWordpress@ahistoryinart I quite liked Pasquale Erto ‘the luminous wonder of Naples’ performing a nude seance and hiding iron filings and ferro-cerenium up his arse.
Whatever you’re doing, have a great night tonight — and I wish you a happy and successful 2025!
(At least try not to arse everything up in the next couple of days — or this post will seem tactless...)
