I’ve written a review of J. K. Rowling’s book of fairy tales, Tales of Beedle the Bard Expands Rowling’s Moral Themes.

This ought to be interesting. Not the show, of course, but the reaction in the British Muslim “community.” Grauniad: “EastEnders: Muslim character to have gay love affair.” Subhead: “Muslim property developer to share on-screen kiss with gay caterer in ‘traditional love affair with a modern multicultural twist’”:

I often lose track of the days while traveling and meeting so many great folks. It’s only when doing these Thank-you Thursday posts that I’m reminded that another week has passed. We’re now out of Alabama and kicking off our Eastern Excursion which will take us from Atlanta to the Free State Project’s Porc Fest [...]
