Today marks the official 2nd anniversary of my career change from NT Greek lecturer to disability advisor. I could not have anticipated what it's brought, but I'm DEFINITELY tying the two back together again, and it's glorious. Inclusive Greek Geek forever.

And yet it still passed. So much for disability and dignity. Very, very angry.

Concerned to see Catholic parish priests wanting to facilitate negotiation in abuse cases, recommending legal separation over true safeguarding, claiming pastoral support isn't their responsibility. Not what I understand the CBCEW advice to be, & certainly not Christlike.

Very sad to see @SEANLWOODCOCK vote for a badly designed, poorly consulted, and quite frankly dangerous welfare bill, without having responded to my constituent concerns raised a good six weeks ago (and yes I put in a consultation response too).

More reasons I love my team. I've gone from being dismissed & discounted for raising accessibility concerns, to receiving a beautiful online card of supportive messages for my birthday & comments about the strength I show & respect I garner, consulted for my input not dismissed.

Retweeting because it’s so important. I’d not be half the academic, mother, Christian, or disability advisor I am if I wasn’t proactive in acknowledging and working through practical disability issues in compassionate and pragmatic ways. No shame. Everyone matters.

I wrote to @SEANLWOODCOCK about five weeks ago and also offered pro bono disability advisory support, seeing as how it’s my job & all. Have yet to hear back. Anxious about what the reality of disability support means to apparently disinterested MPs.

I’ve got PIP. I work full time, not least because I also have Access to Work. My colleagues & students think the world of me. Yes I need support. And?PIP enables me to work. It is totally not an out of work benefit. But cuts / changes to both PIP & AtW will jeopardise everything.

And the people from a VI specialism stall correctly identified my eyeliner too. I swear I should run a sweep on whether the mascara and eyeshadow get noted, and what happens when I bring out new stuff tomorrow. Unexpected conference experience).

Have come to a conference. The person who registered me not only complimented my lipstick but new which make and shade it was. and we've both bulk bought it as it stopped being made. Dior sparkly purple is just fabulous!.

I had a new idea about autism and Christianity this week… think I’ll have to blog about it for Women in Theology.

It's important to recognise how people have suffered through misdiagnosis. So many neurodivergent people suffer e.g. extreme anxiety which doesn't improve when "just" seen as that, but can be transformed when seen through the lens of neurodivergence.

Hearing from students about real-life impact of what late diagnosis means in terms of self-awareness, quality of life, educational opportunities. I have immense respect for everyone participating. If Oxford wants the next top thinkers then supporting neurodivergences is a MUST.
