For anyone wanting help switching to bluesky I found a Chrome plugin that will scan your twitter following list and you can add them on bluesky - there might be some false positives but adding 600+ accounts isn't going to happen manually.
Even though I'm trying to #BuyCanadian I don't have a problem using Costco Canada as they seem to be doing right by workers.
Costco not only recently gave workers a raise, it rejected efforts to abolish DEI policies www.adn.com/nation-world...
Costco shareholders reject anti-DEI proposal pushed by activists
The Issaquah-based company’s board characterized the proposal from an activist shareholder as a bad-faith effort to undermine its DEI initiatives.

I've got a great feature suggestion. How about the app hides seen posts? If I'm reading through posts maybe i get through 30 or so, and then refresh I go back to the top and see maybe 10 new posts but then I see the same 30 over again. Give the option to hide seen posts on refresh please

Pope Francis has made clear that transgender people can be baptized, serve as godparents and be witnesses at church weddings, furthering his vision of a more inclusive Catholic church, in a new Vatican document.
Vatican Says Transgender People Can Be Baptized and Become Godparents
A document approved by Pope Francis lays out nuanced guidance in keeping with his vision of a more inclusive church, but it does not amount to a policy change in the church, the Vatican says.

Toyota gave 9% raises right after the UAW reached their agreement. Now Tesla is giving a 4% raise + bonuses to all 11k workers at its Berlin Gigafactory because workers were trying to unionize. Striking union wins ripple across industry. That's why you always stand in solidarity.

America spends 20% of its GDP on healthcare. $3 trillion annually. Where is all that money going?
In the age of corporate healthcare the answer is - it’s going to shareholders. That’s not a healthcare system. That’s a racket.

Working-age Americans are struggling to pay for health care, even those with insurance, report finds
About 4 in 10 workers with employer-sponsored health insurance say they have difficulty affording their health care costs. Many end up skipping or delaying treatment.
