What I Read (Here on Substack)

Nov 27, 2023

So, I looked it up and I have 170 ‘Reads’ on my profile. I’m not sure which of these I merely ‘follow’ and to which I am ‘subscribed’. Nor am I sure what the difference is between these two things. But I thought it would be good for me to have a post, kind of like my ‘Israel’ post, where I listed them all, so that I can, follow me here, take notes on them.

Cause, you see, I’m getting old. So I tend to forget what I’ve subscribed to, and why, and what the person writes about, and everything like that. So I decided to make a list.

And making it as a post means that someone might just comment and say, “Hey, you might like me, I do stuff like X.” Which I would like :)

Frequents

Stacks I read pretty frequently. Maybe cause the post frequently, maybe cause Substack shows them to me? Maybe cause I find them interesting? I’ve put them in categories, but these are hardly written in sand, let alone in stone. This top list doesn’t include links, but these stacks are in the list below with links and pictures.

This list is ‘in process’. There might be people I read frequently but forgot to put on this list. I am getting older, after all.

Fiction

Fiction is still developing on Substack. A lot of the conversation between fiction writers on Substack consists of complaints about how fiction is still developing on Substack.

The Library

-A list of fiction writing on Substack. A very useful source that I should, umm, use more.

Lunar Awards

-A kind of contest site for sci-fi and fantasy, which I have never won.

Meaningful Differences

by maryh10000

Creation

I have done some writing here on Substack concerning the issues of creation, and I love to read well-reasoned arguments on all sides.

by Fr. Joseph Gleason

Mathematics

A Piece of the Pi: mathematics explained

by Richard Green

— Occasional fun posts on mathematics. Only for nerds.

Demographics

Postcards From Barsoom

by John Carter

—Occasional important posts on the demographic death of our culture. Seems written from an atheistic perspective.

Parenting

Fallible Father

-Atheist. Writes his posts as letters to his children. I’m having a debate with him about morality and putting pineapple on pizza. (Which is immoral).

Andrew: Dad Explains

- Writes to and about being a father. Had a discussion with him about ‘what is marriage’. Hopefully it will come back someday.

Cooking

Cause who doesn’t love reading the occasional interesting recipe?!

The Ramen Bowl

British Politics

Matt Goodwin

-Halfway house political commentator in Britian. I often like his take on British politics.

Konstantin Kissin

-Halfway house political commentator in Britian. Co-host of ‘Triggernometry’. Triggers a lot of ideas and posts. (Pun intended).

Council Estate Media

by Ricky

-Wildly Left Wing British writer. Usually writes exceeding sophistry. Great to get a very different perspective, but don’t look for logic.

American Politics

Not On Your Team, But Always Fair

by Helen Dale

— Not on my team, and not always fair, but often worth reading. Halfway house American?

French Politics

Nothing here yet. Any suggestions?

Israel

Melanie Phillips

by Melanie Phillips

— Halfway house writer on Israel.

Theology

I haven’t actually found many theology stacks that tend to hold my interest. Most of what I read I tend to disagree with, and find interesting from that viewpoint.
