B.A His, FRHistS. Thomas Cromwell author & historian. Lover of Spain, heart transplants, trans rights & F1. Would put up a facade if I had the ability to maintain one.
Got the X-Files Lego set as a gift for my son graduating university again
As it turns out? We knew, we always knew. Here is a paragraph about Spain from 1788, where the poor still lived like starved peasants to uphold the idle wealthy.
My eldest daughter is 20 today. 20 years since I gave birth in the Spanish countryside. But the view of the Montgó was awesome that afternoon
I bought these thick marshmallows, and my son arrived home from the office and stuffed an entire square in his mouth. My evening is definitely going to be filled with complicated legal rants
If you feel like the world sucks, trying reading New Scientist. It's a nice weekly feel-good read about positive things happening and tales of past endeavours to improve the world.
My new novel comes out next week, my first fiction release since 2019. ON THE FICKLENESS OF LOYALTY is the first part of the Becoming Thomas Cromwell series, covering 1503-1513. Part one covers 1503-1506, as Cromwell sets himself up in Florence, working for the Frescobaldi family
Me reading: stop trying to be fancy and get to the point! (it's mine, I'm the author, available 4 May)
I know the feed here is mostly just politics, but I just need to say F1 cars are hot garbage and deserve side eye judgement from these kings
I drank Haterade all day and hated on F1 like a pro. I'm going to insufferable all season, so prepare
My son had a pair of clients come in today, and they mentioned they are going on a holiday to Egypt and Jordan this month via Dubai. Said it should be fine by the time they leave.
Don't make me pull out my extensive knowledge on this topic, I'm already mad today. Seymour once again proving he is three assholes in a trenchcoat who have never met a human person.
1537: I'm not critical of King Henry VIII, I'm critical of his council's bad advice on the monasteries
How are all those people who were so relieved that 2025 came to an end? Might pay to check in on them.
