Both fascinating & depressing
ScotEduBlogs is now on Mastodon
I’ve just set up a mastodon account for ScotEduBlogs at @scotedublogs@mastodon.scot.
I’ve used IFTT following this post: How to Post to Mastodon From Anything Using IFTTT – K²R
If it has worked this post should flow through to mastodon after it appears on SEB.
My mind is on ScotEdublogs after reading:How a return to blogs and wikis could benefit teachers | Tes. A great post I hope to return to presently.
A year of Flickr
Another year, another collection of photos
As usual made with few tweaks of this gist. The featured image made with a similar script. Got a tag for these things now: flickr year, need to find a few posts. I’ve been doing these since 2014 time flies!

Feed Readers
Another sort of RSS reader is a Podcatcher. Podcast listening apps depend on RSS. My favourite on my phone, I listen to podcasts while commuting, is Castro.

RSS Feeds this week:
- Eat This Podcast RSS Feed Great podcast on food in all of its aspects.
- Backlisted RSS Feed. Quite in depth reviews and discussions of books, one per episode. Took me a while to figure out the feed for this one. Almost grumpy enough to skip it.
- Scotland Outdoors RSS Feed A lot of BBC radio content is available via RSS. They push their own sounds app, but the RSS is on the page.
- Is It Rolling, Bob? Talking Dylan RSS Feed. Found at random, enjoyed that way too.
- Really Specific Stories. narratives of tech-podcast fandom, featuring producers and their listeners. Fascinating RSS Feed
Read: A Spell of Winter by Helen Dunmore ★★★★☆ 📚
Broken characters crumble with the house. Lyrical countryside. The young ones grow wild. Relationships are awkward or too intense. The first world war appears out of nowhere.
A list of RSS related stuff: tools, services, communities and tutorials, etc. - GitHub - AboutRSS/ALL-about-RSS

Chris Aldrich, who started #FeedReaderFriday has a great feed, but I also follow his hypothes.is stream Feed. I don’t use hypothes.is myself, and the number of items in the feed would be overwhelming if you tried to keep up, but it contains many nuggets that you would not find elsewhere.
Not a person but tinywords: haiku & other small poems has an RSS Feed
Feed Reader Tip
Ignore the unread count. Some feed readers show you the number of unread items. forget FOMO and ignore items, feeds and the whole thing if you have something else to do.
This post is part of a series with a wee bit about readers and a couple of suggestions of feeds to follow.
