For anyone who's weary of glib responses and superficial "answers", this book faces the pain with rigour and integrity.
It’s Baby Loss Awareness Week.

After losing multiple pregnancies in my 20s, I eventually wrote The Dark Womb about theology and pregnancy loss. Part of that was a selection of prayers & liturgies - available here

It's painfully ironic that the amount of clerical bullshit you have to go through to get ADHD meds is the exact kind of clerical bullshit that most ADHD folk struggle with.

It's equivalent to, 'Ouch, broken leg? Don't worry! We've got some crutches for you at the end of this marathon.'

Other UK politicians should be coming down on Farage like a ton of bricks on this

"We were told thalidomide was a safe drug and it wasn't..."

Nigel Farage says he has 'no idea' if Donald Trump is right about paracetamol being linked to autism.

Find yourself a PhD supervisor who says ‘this will probably need a new notebook and maybe a pen too.’ @karenod.bsky.social #stationeryislife

PhD life.
The difficulty with writing anything about anything is that any given thing, on closer inspection, appears to be connected to every thing, and now you’ve gone from writing about anything to writing about everything 😅

I’m doing some writing today on the racist roots of diet culture & honestly, if you’ve got anything to do with promoting diet culture yourself, you need to be thinking about this stuff and examining the history closely.

This was a great evening, thanks for asking me to share my PhD project & for the thought provoking conversation that followed.
1/2 It was great to be joined last week by Westcott PhD student, Sarah Pritchard, at our first Bar Theology of term. With theological insight and inspiring poetry, she spoke about her doctoral research on sin, shame and fat bodies, including some of the history of fatphobia.

Round of applause for this social media person
On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...
