I’ve written a bit about the Makin report and some of my thoughts as a cartoonist who draws about church-related things. It’s jumbled but… it’s something. open.substack.com/pub/cartoonc...

The last thing I want to go on about is being trans. I just want to serve God (& be me!), but … Things are just awful for trans people right now. And they will get worse. We are such a minority. Though we will keep going, non-trans friends: please find ways to stand up with us and for us.

Today’s #MusicalCountdown to Christmas is Megson’s marvellous folky version of ‘Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day’, a carol that has echoes of mystery plays and reminds us that the idea of a dancing Christ has quite a lineage. youtu.be/8aJgZT6od-E?...

1. The difference so far (and for god's sake let's keep it that way) between X and Bluesky is not between right and left but between abuse and respect. A good society is built on mutual respect. But what does this mean? A short thread.🧵

When I was a professor at University of New Hampshire, I used to teach a class on contemporary metamodern multimedia in which I would play this video for students. Giant screen; small, darkened seminar room...it would leave us all speechless. Including me—every time I saw it. Hope you feel as I did.

Hello! I’m not sure how many people who care about the NHS are here yet- but the non-profit campaign org I run (EveryDoctor) is running a massive campaign involving 99 MPs so far, and I need to connect with as many lovely folk as possible. If you follow me, share+like this I’ll follow you back!Ju☺️💙

Starter packs really are an ingenious product, aren’t they? I’m convinced the shift to Bluesky wouldn’t be half as dramatic if it weren’t so easy to establish a network/newsfeed with just a couple of clicks.

Hello! 👋 I'm newly here from that other space. I'm a nurse and NHS campaigner I'm trying to reconnect with some of my old pals from there - could you please give this post a share and help me find them? Thanks 🙏

For what it's worth, my two cents is that Bishop Guli should get Canterbury, but that the Church is too cowardly to let that happen.

@humanistquaker.bsky.social Ah! Excellent... how brilliant to be travelling in a new place, under a blue sky, and to recognise folks from elsewhere! Looking forward to continued musings...
