Decided that it would be pretty easy to syndicate my @ghost.org blog to Bluesky manually, rather than rely on Bridgy Fed. Hoping for ATproto support directly within Ghost someday soon, now that we have @standard.site??
Everyone knows Thomas as the one who doubts the disciples' report that Jesus has risen from the dead. But he has a lesser-known cameo earlier in the gospel of John.
