Out now! Special issue of JLCDS, edited by @krysiawally.bsky.social, @naomijacobs.bsky.social and myself. liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/toc/jlcds/20/3

Summer afternoon in Liverpool - taking an hour before the kiddos get back from their various trips.

Ended up sitting next to a uni classmate from my first degree on the train back to Liverpool this afternoon. Was surprising but a brilliant conversation (we both had PhDs but had gone in very different directions. So, no, I did not start reading my EABS acquisitions 😂

Today is 'Bodies of Communication' day at #eabs2026 😁 (totally worth a smiley face emoji)

First new discovery of #eabs2026. Beginning of the "random food to take home" side quest.

So this is out in the world! And I get to shout out so many people whose work I admire too (not that they need it) 😀

When you are actually excited to review a book... I mean, it's beautiful and I haven't even opened it yet.

When your bank holiday "just for funsies" reading arrives 😁

And off I go to the Leeds Disability Studies Conference 2026 for a panel on religion with @krysiawally.bsky.social, @naomijacobs.bsky.social and Brian Irvine. @mbrandonmassey.bsky.social , I am publicising 'Rewriting Jesus: Forgotten Pasts and Possible Futures' as promised!

So way back at the Female Corporeality and Religion Conference, I said I was going to turn this into an article. Just to prove I actually did...

So it "finally" arrived through my door. I am actually really proud of this chapter, purely because I wanted to open up on the fact that experience changes exegetes (even if we like to pretend it doesn't). Thank you @davidbolt13.bsky.social for giving me a soap box to stand on!

Just finished speaking with the online crew at @sthild.org - what a welcoming learning group. Had a fabulous time and they let me get on my soap box a bit! By the end of the teaching session I was pulling book recommendations off my shelf....

Julia Watts Belser was so good at Disability and Church last weekend, I sort of had to...

That one really was for the girls 💪🏻 Second highest attendance at a rugby world cup final, men or women. 🌹

September is IIH awareness month.

@siobhanjolley.bsky.social Guess what I got given to read on the journey home from #BNTS

Add NT studies, disability studies, a bit of feminism together, to animal studies, stir and "ta da"... Yep, I still get excited at seeing my name printed on actual paper pages 😁 www.bloomsbury.com/uk/animals-i...

When you turn up to your hospital appointment and realise you have accidentally coordinated your clothing and your reading... A hastily thrown on FTN t-shirt and the book you grabbed from the desk as the cab arrived...

An SCM sale is always "dangerous"... but the kiddos might have just got me these for my birthday 😉 Ordered Tuesday, arrived today - am set up for summer reading!

Horrifying but incredibly powerful. Absolutely needs to be read by, like, everyone. Bates is sounding a warning call before it's too late... and we really, really need to listen.

When checking proofs, are you supposed to let people know they are about to get cited in an encyclopedia ... 😜 @candidamoss.bsky.social and @isaactsoon.bsky.social , I couldn't not include you.(Sorry @meghanhenning.bsky.social , you are on the other page, but you are in there).

Proud of this chapter and venturing out of my comfort zone a bit, but now I need to review the proofs... The other place wouldn't let me post the link, but here it is www.bloomsbury.com/uk/animals-i...

Starting the new year by wading into one of my Christmas presents @karenod.bsky.social - it's really good 😊

Currently updating this for Monday. It's hybrid if anyone hasn't heard me get on my soapbox already 😜

Had to order from the US (long irrelevant story) but it's arrived in time for my next project in December @mbrandonmassey.bsky.social! Told myself it was a necessary incentive to finish the current disability encyclopedia chapter... the one where I try to condense my entire field into 8,000 words 😫

Feminist Theology Network online meet-up is tonight. Sarah Stankorb will be speaking about her book 'Disobedient Women's and then there will be a q&a. 7:30pm GMT (2:30pm EST). Think that's all the info from the attached flyer in lieu of alt text.

If you aren't a member of the Feminist Theology Network, here's a reason why you should be 👇🏼

Reminded of this book a few days ago, so found it on my bookshelf. Feel in the mood to re-read the title essay.

I got so excited when this came through the door. Any publication is awesome, but there is something different about seeing your name in print.
