If I want to browse articles, essays and thought pieces on various topics, ideally in one place, what's a good alternative to Substack?
A lot of people publish there but I don't agree with their opinion on censorship and protection of audiences.

The Self
A bicycle isn't its wheels. It isn't the frame, the chain, the person pedaling, or the road. Take any one away and you don't have a broken bicycle but something that was never a bicycle to begin with. We point at things and say that's 'it'. That's the self. That's what's real.

@ratika Could depend on how you write them. I'm writing nearly only non-fiction. #Essays or #features can be a medium of telling stories, of getting a 'painting' of your ideas. There's 'narrative non-fiction', often used e.g. in #natureWriting. A great writer like Robert McFarlane writes fascinating stuff about the Underworlds or rivers, you can't stop reading, it's positive. But you become aware of the problems and people trying to find solutions. It's the storytelling that helps.

"I want to examine a different aspect of #Israel’s genocidal onslaught on #Gaza: its significance as a ‘world event’, an epochal turning point that also serves to reveal, and so to signify, the nature of the times. I aim to do so in a register that will range between the political, the social, the philosophical and the personal."
