The covers of all my books. To be fair, some have aged much better than their author :) (Bonus challenge: look up the meaning of my surname. It's derived from a Ukrainian word and may explain why I ended up surrounded by books.)

The key contribution of this study is to bring collective prosumerism into the mega‑event debate. Host nations are no longer just consumers of a franchise; they’re co‑producers, reshaping formats and timelines to fit their political, economic & diplomatic agendas www.tandfonline.com/eprint/XYEFE...

This world is not made of shades of grey. It is made of colours like azure and coral and emerald and marigold. But it insists on painting everything in black and white and fitting it into boxes that it understands. Do not do that to yourself.

‘The future is shaped by us, it’s not something handed to us’ (Paulo Freire, as he refused to accept that history could not be changed by human actions and insisted on the educational mission of denouncing the current oppressive state of societies, while announcing a better future)
