Tired most of the time thanks to #hEDS & #LongCovid I co-wrote a book on Disability & Church. Likes reading, words, Disney, Marvel, radio, musicals and funny things. She/her, but they's OK πŸ‘

There is a Dutch swear word, "kloothommel," that would literally translate to "bollock bumblebee"

I'm sure there's good etymological reasons for it, but frankly I've always found it funnier not to know

As ever, do with this information what you will

THIS. If you’re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, you’re at risk.

How dare these Non-Playable Characters assert agency rather than remain part of my picturesque holiday background…in their own country?

Eating soup while drunk is fascinating because it either means you are at the absolute lowest point in your existence, or at a wedding

Preached my "View From the Pew" at Evensong.

Love the process of preaching but using my voice is exhausting.

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.

Just another day/reminder of how β€œthe richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.

We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

An illustrative piece in that it says the quiet part out loud: When you ask *who* is "wrongly" included in the autism spectrum, the response is almost always "women".

In other fields, this phenomenon of women being immediately dismissed, overlooked and underdiagnosed is called medical misogyny.

you can tell that this isn't a real problem, because if it was this would be written by someone it happened to and not someone who it didn't happen to saying "but if it did that would have sucked."

Attention (rightly) is on the Greens, Labour and Reform, but it's a mark of how bad things are for the Conservatives that we're not even talking about their *706* votes.

Contrast the notional result in 2019 (before the current seat existed) or Andrew Gwynne's old Denton seat.

London Diocese had a disability webinar with Dr Amy Kenny and I spent all of it regretting not inviting more people.

She's so wonderful with words.
