I don’t follow Jay Hulme. But I did see something a few years back about him scaling back online due to some kind of harassment.

Well, now the BBC’s religion editor has run a long story about it.

I also did my periodic check over Jay's social media, because while I do not follow because I might be an Anglican-watcher I don't need THAT much waxing lyrical about queer-affirming church in my regular feed, I do find some of his work and/or hot takes cool or interesting.

I particularly enjoyed A post with five years of photos of Leicester Cathedral renovations in progress. As well as being cool because Jay got access to, eg, the internal scaffolding, so there's at-level photos of the clerestory and close ups of some delightful grotesques, it involves this sentence:

And so, unable to resist, I reached out my arm, and in that dusty room, hidden away above the Cathedral, I touched Sir Ian McKellen’s left nipple.
