Bear, I'm so pleased I stumbled across you here on Substack, the 10% milestone is certainly something worthy of celebration and "I just wanted a space that felt honest, manageable, and mine." well you've got that too, and a bunch of folks who are happy to share it with you!
Bear would you ever consider doing a “post” book … just all your writings put into book for posterity. I have always loved your writing style, have always been amazed at your ability to put into words exactly how many of us feel… and to a “T” I might add … I feel that if there is no record kept of your words (other than online) it would be a sacrilege… 😁 … think about it would you ?
Such an encouraging and great post 🎊 So happy for you that things are really evolving in a positive way for you 💕💞 But, so sorry to hear about your father... Sending positive thoughts at this difficult time... 🤗
I do however, have to slightly question the *wankstain* insult for Nige F! The stain does somewhat imply, at least a few moments of pleasure, pre stain! Said Nige has given us not one second of pleasure, and for that reason, is not even worthy of being described as *residual staining*! 😎
I first came across you on the hellsite formerly known as twatter and followed you onto here. You, alongside a few others, are voices of sanity in an increasingly ridiculous world! Keep up the good work and best wishes with your family situation.
PS Full Disclosure with James O'Brien has been mentioned-go for it, with Bear costume of course!
You are a refreshing and challenging voice in torrid times for original thinking! You are very welcome btw ..keep going your work is great to read and often makes me reflect on my own views like few others manage!
The £500 for a picture thing is a sting that far too many people are unaware of. My wife works at a tourist park and someone was brought in to do some marketing. They lifted a photo off a company’s website, thinking nothing of it until they received a copyright claim. £400 later the problem was solved
That's an amazing upward trajectory, very pleased for you! Thank you for being an independent voice of reason among the headliness madness that we've been thrown into this year. While I felt very frustrated with how the political discourse was degenarating, reading your commentary has put a smile on my face and proven that the world of still full of decent, honest, intelligent people.
I love reading your posts, it's good to know there are like minded people out there. I wish you luck in your writing, in your professional life and your personal life.
Thank you once again for your honesty and humour, incredibly refreshing after the hell hole that is Twitter. So sorry to hear about your dad. Stay strong.
Lovely stuff Bear. You are my favourite political commentator who consistently manages to articulate exactly how I'm feeling about the state of so many things political. Stay strong through this emmotionally tough time and know that your words really do make a difference. Thank you.

Be more Bear!

Wouldn’t miss your comments for the world. Sorry you’re here again with your dad. Good thoughts coming your way.

I think that would be a worthwhile project. Maybe not ALL of them cause that wd be a lot but I think a curated anthology would be great.
Absolutely - it’s a social history of politics and the state of the country at large.
Oh (((Bear))) 🐻❤️
