This is so important. It's not that the callers are necessarily in trouble. They just don't need their situation escalated by those people.
If you're in the worst mental state, you just need genuine support.

Here are the current 246 signatories of this letter. We are all active Bluesky users, many of us from Gaza but most of us are not. We all however think this app is a better place when the voices of Palestinians in Gaza are heard.

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200.
The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money.
Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

My little rescue for disabled and 'difficult' cats has some pretty big vet bills coming up. I'd love to book Rupert, Scooter and Widget in for their procedures but really need some help raising the cost.

Ignore Trump for a moment, and all the other calamities going on around the world. Climate change is still the biggest threat to us all, and we are in danger of ignoring it.

Incredible. One of the original authors of a paper which the Trump administration claim to have relied on to set tariffs points out that they've misapplied the original formula so that the tariffs ended up about 4x higher than they should have been.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
