At the Gates. It's based on my co-author @naomijacobs.bsky.social PhD research. We tell the stories of disabled Christians, the barriers they've encountered, their search for justice. It's a call to the church about where we are and how they can work with us to make a more accessible, just church.
Show PostAnd in fact that whole letter is about how it’s easy for people to first conceal, then abandon, their values because they want to impress their friends and build up their status in society
Show Post“Choice of friends” and “how you use your time” turn out to be quite important in who you become (worldly vanities perhaps of less relevance if you’re not Christian, though chasing after status symbols purely for status is rarely good, I think)
Show PostI’ve been thinking about the way people get radicalised recently, online but also in dinner parties and professional networks and friendship groups, and I find myself recalling this bit in Screwtape, wh I think is relevant whether you’re Xtian or not. The people you hang out with affect who you are.
Show PostShort tip for autistics, adhders, neurodivergents/disabled. Don't compare yourself to anyone but especially not able bodied neurotypical people. Look to your own if you must compare yourself, as to do otherwise is a disaster. You can do things at a different pace, different style, different way.
