aaaaaaaand the account I run totally transparently for Fidaa is gone, @fidaaumar.bsky.social

I don’t even feel like it’s safe to appeal without risking my own account again.

They identified the post this time, which doesn’t break any of the rules listed 🙃

Venerable magazine Harper's Bazaar is running its short story contest again, with the winner receiving "the chance" of publication in the magazine. Just one catch: per the wording of the guidelines, _just by entering_ you transfer copyright ownership of your story to Harper's parent, Hearst. 1/3

GF has the idiom!
"Luchs speaks five languages: English, French, Italian, and some German and Russian. She approached grasping Gen Z parlance like she was learning another language.

...An Instagram commenter wrote: 'She’s so natural with it too like it’s not even cringe.'"
Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.

If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

#COMPANIONSofCHRISTMAS: Tante Arie and Marion

Plenty of livestock was present when Jesus was born in a stable, including a donkey who was the first animal to acknowledge the baby’s divinity, bowing down at his cradle and thereafter affixing herself to the Holy Family. 1/

Schmutzli was a chimneysweep in Switzerland, and took in many children from the local orphanage. He didn’t do this out of love or charity; he wanted tiny workers to do the dangerous job of going down the slimmest chimneys to remove the soot and coal ash. 1/
