Every time I speak with Eslam she asks me to help getting her @soma-eslam.bsky.social account restored. She had a whole community on Bluesky and it was unfairly taken from her. If you want to email [email protected] to ask for it to be restored it would maybe be helpful ❤️
Eslam is still trying to get her account back. If you’ve ever interacted with her, please take a minute to email moderation and ask them to reinstate her.
pay it forward this holiday season and help out Eslam. She was an active Bluesky user supporting her family in Gaza, but she was banned months ago for no reason, even though she was complying with requests to ID herself. Now she barely gets any donations. Email moderation and give if you can.

A dear friend of mine was my editor in chief at the college magazine. We did not always get along. But I asked him for a letter of recommendation after graduation and at the end of it he wrote something like “Ann Marie has never half-assed a single thing a day in her life.” 20+ years ago.
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

Winter also wrote or co-wrote just about every significant transpo bill over the last decade. Funding, speed cameras, etc. She was a giant in that world.
What a terrible thing. Rest in peace, Senator.

Faith Winter is why Colorado has a paid family leave program. My enduring memory: breaking the news to her that the AP had called it and the measure had passed, five years ago this month.

Come to our last event of the year, featuring trippy shit (this is the scientific term)

Consider donating to Eslam, boosting this post and contacting @moderation.bsky.app to ask for her account to be reinstated
you can also continue supporting Eslam here: chuffed.org/project/1282...
from her most recent update: “My donations have nearly vanished since I lost my Bluesky account two months ago. Everything is slowly collapsing around me.”

At this point, the Washpost edit page is just trolling its readers.
