'Agent Manning' was voted out at the roundtable as a Traitor by the clueless board. Now Norwich City Faithful Stephen Fry must choose between Nick Mohammed (Ted Lasso) and Allen Carr, whose dad used to be a football manager. Who would you choose? #NorwichCity #OTBC #NCFC #Traitors

Looking back at an article I wrote in the @nujofficial.bsky.social NUJ magazine The Journalist in 1999, I've just posted a blog about the changing language of #disability Sufferer and wheelchair-bound may be on the way out. But what about brave and inspiring? alexwhitewrites.com/2025/11/05/t...

World Cup hero and @canaries.co.uk legend Martin Peters has ghosted in at the back post of the Philip Pullman book. How we could do with him v @swfc.co.uk at Hillsborough tonight! #NorwichCity #Football

Really looking forward to starting the journey of the final volume of The Book of Dust: The Rose Field by Philip Pullman. I'm surprised @foliosociety.bsky.social classes Pullman as 'Young Adult' in their recent catalogue. Genres don't matter, I suppose. #Books #BookSky

The Library: A Fragile History is a fascinating survey of how these precious community resources have been burned, banned, looted and neglected. Treasure your local library! #Books #BookSky

It was great to visit the @kneppwilding.bsky.social and the Tamworth pigs on a glorious sunny Saturday, The best book theme park ever! #books #BookSky #Knepp #Rewilding

Dickens and Prince: A Particular Kind of Genius by Nick Hornby is an unlikely pairing of poverty, prodigy and prolific production (4 million published words and 8,000 unreleased songs) in a slim purple volume #books #BookSky

I've just finished Hatchet Job by @kermodemovie.bsky.social , a threnody to the film critic. Film criticism is alive and kicking as long as the Kermodian rant survives! #NotDeadYet #books #BookSky

Alison White (no relation) is a mother of a child with #CerebralPalsy. Her Letter to Louis, published by @faberbooks.bsky.social is shocking about the callousness or perhaps carelessness of people’s reactions to a mother with a disabled child. #Books #BookSky - link in my bio

We need to see the law changed, so that employers and workers know when action must be taken to keep workers cooler and safer. Add your name. www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/we...

My mother was a single mother in the 1960s who tried to make a living from selling second-hand #books alexwhitewrites.com/2025/08/08/s...

The Big Butterfly Count 2025 is taking place between 18 July and 10 August. Sitting in a sunny spot for 15 minutes is a perfect mindful moment. Get involved! @savebutterflies.bsky.social alexwhitewrites.com/2025/08/01/j...

Valerie Thomas's story of Winnie The Witch is a fun way for children to learn about colour. But it is also a great way to learn about the social model of #disability. #books #BookChallenge #InThePicture www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Rooted in the social model of #disability, Shani Dhanda wrote a children's book she wished for as a young #disabled girl. It embraces and celebrates differences, finding beauty in our uniqueness within ourselves and in others. #books #BookChallenge #InThePicture www.shanidhanda.com/nohornunicorn/

My new post is about one of my favourite projects, In The Picture, that looked at #disability representation in children's #books #BookChallenge alexwhitewrites.com/2025/07/19/i...

I've just read Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton and it has made me think. A hare's breath is a fine and fragile thing. We must preserve space for Nature from the combine harvester of human progress. #books #BookSky #BookChallenge

My new #OralHistory post about #disabled people campaigning for independent living and their rights in 20th century. alexwhitewrites.com/2025/06/21/s... #Disability

Rodham by Curtis Sittenfield is a fascinating parallel universe novel where the Clintons do not marry and Hillary seeks to be the First Woman President amidst the "ambient sexism" of US society. Private lives meet US public life. #BookSky #Books #BookChallenge

Medic is someone @canaries.co.uk are interested in signing. Perhaps this is because of the injuries we had last season? Perhaps he can get Jurasec playing? #efl #otbc #football @chrisgoreham.bsky.social @chrisreevo.bsky.social

I have read about 1,424 books in my life. At 25 books a year with an average life expectancy, I might read another 425 books. What must I read before I go to the library in the sky? Remember, life is too short to read a book you are not enjoying. #BookSky #Books #BookChallenge

I have been meaning to read Bad Blood by @LornaSage for ages. A beautifully written memoir of an isolated and bookish post-war vicarage childhood with warring grandparents and dark secrets. #BookSky #Books #BookChallenge

Speaking for Ourselves: travel experiences of people with #CerebralPalsy is my latest #OralHistory blog about #disabled people's experiences from the 1950s and 1960s #disability alexwhitewrites.com/2025/06/13/s...

At the risk of sounding like I've only read 1 book, I voted for George Orwell's #1984 (again) in penguinbooksusa.bsky.social poll of books that shaped our political understanding. Who would you vote for? #books #BookSky #BookChallenge www.penguin.co.uk/discover/art...

How remote and #HybridWorking can help close the #disability employment gap, from Lancaster University study of #disabled workers. Today, 1 in 5 workers (20.6%) work mainly from home, quadrupling since 2019 when only 1 in 20 people did (5%). www.lancaster.ac.uk/work-foundat...

#Disability charity Scope says every £1 spent on #AccessToWork “provides a saving of £1.88 to the treasury”. ATW funded my voice recognition software in 1994 and I have been a taxpayer for over 30 years. How does cutting support for #disabled people into work help? www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

I'm loving the BBC's Jane Austen: Rise of a Genius, a fantastic and eclectic mix of talking heads from academics, writers and actors passionately engaged with her work. Must get round to reading Mansfield Park... www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

A must read for content designers: Considerate Content: How to make your content more inclusive and accessible, with a focus on neurodivergence and health conditions by Rebekah Barry @contentdesign.london #disability #books #BookSky

As a #NorwichCity fan born in #Brighton and living in #Reading, I wanted my son to choose the #football team he supported. As the deadline to #SellBeforeDai approaches and Reading could be no more, I wonder if it was the right choice? alexwhitewrites.com/2025/04/19/k...

On The Beach City, never mind defending, kick out Long, now's your chance, oh they've scored a goal @canaries.co.uk @myfootballwriter.bsky.social

I've been playing Limitations by Chris obsessively from @channel4tv.bsky.social The Piano. It is beautiful, heart-felt and powerful. Warning: it may make your eyes water. youtu.be/OeF000pEUYo?...

I've just finished reading Voices from Dickens' London by Michael Paterson. Lots of fascinating insights, including that the first person to wear a top hat in London was arrested for breach of the peace. #books #BookSky
