I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed is 25 years old and before this worked in a market and a house goods store. At the beginning of the war his house was bombed and he lost 22 members of his family who were sheltering there. He is trying to save the survivors.

Here on Bluesky, the image from our appeal campaign page got flagged as "adult content" so every time we link it we have to use this thumbnail instead.

1% is a huge number unless you're talking about trans people
@zackpolanski.bsky.social wants to introduce a wealth tax of 1% on assets of over £10m & 2% on assets over £1bn & if the super rich want to leave the UK because they are being taxed a tiny amount more then we should wave them goodbye

Thatcherite John Redwood says 1% isn't a tiny amount.

The aurora last night (Nov 26-27) as seen by the NOAA-21 satellite. You can see it was a pretty bright night with the auroral oval not too extended beyond the normal range.

Yellow areas indicate brighter emission (aurora and city lights) while blue/black areas are darker.

I'm confused what this is actually for since we can't DM photos
We're announcing a new partnership with StopNCII.org to prevent non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) from spreading on Bluesky. While NCII hasn't been frequent on our platform, these incidents are devastating for victims and preventing them is a top safety priority. 1/4
Stop Non-Consensual Intimate Image Abuse | StopNCII.org
StopNCII.org is operated by the Revenge Porn Helpline which is part of SWGfL, a charity that believes that all should benefit from technology, free from harm.

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

I went through my craft grade skulks and bones and figured I could put together little bone baggies if anyone in the USA (only!) wanted them for $25 each + shipping lol

If you can’t read my handwriting on the baggie, it’s in the photo alt text lol. They’ll go to whoever claims them first.

The guy drilled his hole and then cleaned up and immediately after he was helped out of the trench he goes, "enjoy your hole!"

My kid has started designing "coloring pages" that he wants me to "put on the internet" so kids can print and color them.

I'll properly scan and upload this eventually but here's a preview of his first creation.
