Signing 1,300 copies for the wonderful @GoldsboroBooks 'The Matchbox Girl' @BloomsburyBooks is out from 6 November. It tells the story of the real Dr Asperger and what happened to the Curative Education Ward at the Vienna Children's Hospital when the Nazis annexed the city.

As a Quaker I find this difficult. Surely there are better things for the Met to be doing than arresting non violent protesters in a Meeting House? (The last era when this happened was reign of Charles II). quaker.org.uk/news-and-event…

Worst kept secret in academia is out! University at the centre of gagging orders in multiple sex harassment cases is revealed as Oxford University Maybe some of the money & effort directed to hushing things up could be redirected to protecting women ? #Echobox=1771805649" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/uk/education/a…

How often it is that a young person’s pain (self-harm; eating problems) is a desperate attack, via the self, on a dysfunctional family, idea, school or wider system; a plea for systemic change. But we rarely see it like that - instead we pathologise them & treat *their* disorder.
