a great satisfaction of BBCFreeThinking is that—with no suspension of critical thinking—it takes religion seriously as an intellectual force. Here Anne McElvoy engages with Peter Stanford, Jakub Kowalewski, Carmody Grey, @rupertread.bsky.social, Daniel Susskind www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

You thumbed grit into my furrowed brow, marking me with the sign of mortality, the dust of last year's palms. The cross you traced seared, smudged skin and I recalled other ashes etched into my heart by those who loved too little or not at all. Elizabeth-Anne Vanek

That sounds like Brian alright! What a character and what a great teacher he must have been. He fought the good fight, he finished the race, he kept the faith.

Part of the reason I'm slowly abandoning twitter/X is because I've discovered that I can read people's posts here as an RSS feed, unlike Musk's model of proprietary API. Eg @rokewood.bsky.social 's feed is my unofficial RSS guide to the best of BBC Radio :)

That's it! Today's vital online spots are tomorrow's abandoned sepulchres. I suspect because of the 'death' of blogging & rise of enshittified walled gardens & apps, if I clear out a subscription list in 10 years there will be far fewer extant colourful and personal sites.

Mark Boyle, the 'Moneyless Man' whom I met at the @darkmountainarts.bsky.social Uncivilisation. His 'The Way Home' book is fascinating on his singular resourceful minimal-tech life, and explains why he's not been on the Guardian website, or anywhere else online for the last 10 years.

My RSS reader has reached the max level of subscriptions (I use this now-neglected technology to keep up to date with writers, musicians & others, especially now social media has become much more fragmented and less useful. I've been unsubscribing from sites that have not been updated for 10 years.

It looks more complicated to use than it is. Just move the point in the map to where you want to see from, set the viewpoint direction and click the 'generate panorama' button at the bottom

A brilliant website for learning the names of mountains that you can see in a given panorama, once you put in your location on the map and what direction you're looking. This is what I see from my local Honeybog Hill looking north. @alastairmci.bsky.social www.udeuschle.de/panoramas/ma...

On “the co-opting of the cross” by the political right. But wait until they find that central to Christian theology is “the quartet of the vulnerable”: the widow (or bereaved), the orphan (or bereft), the “alien in your midst” (or refugee), and the poor. www.bbc.com/news/article...
