@grumpygirdle.bsky.social Hi, I just wanted to say goodbye because I had a very upsetting experience on here yesterday and will be deleting my account soon. I think I am now done with social media sadly. 😿😿😿

Dear All, Sadly I have had a very unpleasant interaction on Bluesky today & I vowed that I would not tolerate this behaviour again (often encountered on Twitter/X) so I have decided to leave & delete my account. Bluesky moderation is not what I expect it to be. I may take some time to think. 😿😿😿

What does the delayed US State Department say about Israel? Not a lot, it seems. UK is lambasted for "criminalising silent prayer" whatever that is, but the section on Israel is much shorter than last year’s and somehow fails to mention the deliberate starvation or the 60,000 violent Gaza deaths.

Re-upping. This is a real, valid, and nice person with a kitty that has real dental needs. Also may have cancer on her nose. :( I you are able to help that would be wonderful, or just reposting helps, too.
