Thank you, John Harris, for championing my book. And, more importantly, championing the rights and dignities of people with learning disabilities. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Again and again, we are shocked by the treatment of learning-disabled people. Yet we never learn from the past | John Harris
A landmark book exposes the history of loathing that underpins scandals like Winterbourne View. It has received next to no attention, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Very different. Very familiar.

Do read this article if you want to learn something about parenting a child with severe disabilities.

The boy who came back: the near-death, and changed life, of my son Max
It was, we were told, a case of sudden infant death syndrome interrupted. What followed would transform my understanding of parenting, disability and the breadth of what makes a meaningful life

Trump’s “Pope image” wasn’t just trolling—though it certainly was that. It was also a display of narcissistic power. A message: I can mock your faith, and you’ll still serve me. He’s made his disdain for Christians clear over the years.

A perfect Pope? No. A far better Pope than this very tired Catholic thought would be possible in this church? Yes.

RIP Papa Frank.

Snapshot of an interfaith marriage:

✡️ Wife: “I still can’t find that ‘Happy Passover’ card we got for the Charikars’ Seder.”

[15 minutes’ searching later]

✝️ Me: “Hold on, let me say a prayer to St. Anthony…”

Card was found 3 seconds later. Neither Tony nor HaShem has yet claimed responsibility.

A while ago a lovely German man appeared at our church. He came a few times to look around during our Saturday opening hours, before asking if the piano abandoned in the corner worked.

I told him it was horrendously out of tune, and the cathedral piano tuner had deemed it not worth sorting out.

My wife has been making hamantaschen for Purim, and also made six adorably tiny ones for our three pet rats, because why should they miss out on the fun?

Stop calling people 'morons', 'idiots' and 'retards'.

My new book (out in June from @Wildfirebks) tells how badly people with learning disabilities have been treated in the past, and the way that is embedded in everyday culture today.

The @stnicholasleics.bsky.social kids presented us with bookmarks tonight (their ‘Baby Club’* is on a break this week, alas). I love it.

*Thanks to some weeks of not being able to attend church/having to leave quickly to get the bus, I am still yet to be initiated into the mysteries of Baby Club. 🤔

When Christmas Day and First Night of Chanukah coincide, and your Catholic/Jewish interfaith household has a lovely day of dual celebration.
