It has been a year since my first article was published as a freelancer.

After 365 days of freelance journalism, here is what I've learned...

Finally got my hands on a copy of @WLDispatch first tabloid paper that I designed - 5000 copies have gone out and I’m over the moon with how it turned out!

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

1) Russia can only afford to fight because of its oil and gas
2) Russia's main weapon against Europe is its threat to cut off oil and gas
3) So it might be wise to stop using oil and gas now that we have workable alternatives
4) (Also saves the planet)

Calling Ukrainians arriving at UK borders without a long-term UK visa! If you have any problems at immigration control, and you don’t have/ can’t get a lawyer, my DMs are open this weekend. Me & colleagues will find you a lawyer to help you stay in the UK til it’s safe to leave.

It's easy to see war distilled to images of ruined buildings and armies on manoeuvres. It’s so trite, but it’s about ordinary people and ordinary places too.

Honestly don’t know what to say other than Ukraine is a beautiful place, and its people deserve better than this.

[Zing Tsjeng @misszing]

Today, I'm thinking about the people I met in Ukraine – the vinyl store owner who invited my crew to a rave, the students at a bar who gave us cigs in exchange for testing their English, the clubbers who told us "everyone says Kyiv is the new Berlin, but Berlin is the new Kyiv!"

it's just hit me that the May 2020 party in Downing St was just before they cancelled Eid with hours notice. swathes of the press were *desperate* to find instances of Muslims breaking the rules to celebrate it. if only that energy had been put into investigating the government!

Lots of people talking about Molly-Mae's comments last week. @RenukaOdedra spoke to two garment workers – who were both paid below minimum wage to make clothes for PLT – for their thoughts https://t.co/46LAkN5z3p

you didn't think I'd forget did you?! here is a thread of the most iconic british tv moments of 2021:

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Imagine being so selfish - so convinced of your own righteousness - that you’d storm a Test & Trace centre, abuse staff working there, steal testing equipment, & dump it in a bin outside the centre.

In a *pandemic*.

Anti-vaxxers in Milton Keynes today.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

A lot of Tories seem shocked that Boris Johnson turned out to be Boris Johnson. There were quite a few clues.
