From her Substack:
Sarah Kendzior O 12h I've been suspended from BlueSky. I don't know why. I wasn't online much today, and the last things I posted were excerpts from my substack newsletter articles. The suspension followed without explanation. It seems there's a crackdown. If you enjoy my work and want to make sure you can access it, subscribe! It's free — I would never paywall in times of peril - and voluntary paying subscribers keep it going. It would be great to have your support at this time. Thanks!

United We Ribbet, Divided We Croak!
An extremely cute middle-aged couple in yellow shirts holding a pair of signs. The woman’s sign says “United We Ribbet,” the man’s, “Divided We Croak.” Both signs have yellow lettering on a purple background.

I have a difficult time reconciling these two headlines.

That doesn’t reflect what’s written in the story:
The crash occurred after an individual was removed from a nearby business, the Los Angeles Police Department said. That person then allegedly drove a vehicle into a crowd, according to police.

Towards the end of your article, we have these two pages. The reporter got to the right questions, but he buried it pretty deep.
After seeing the wolves, though, I wondered how many people would accept that what I had just seen was a resurrection. Romulus and Remus embodied a lot of breakthroughs. No one else, Colossal said, had ever made so many precision edits to an animal genome at once. Nobody had ever birthed a mammal that had ancient DNA in it. "This is the first time these genes have been expressed in over ten thousand years," Lamm pointed out. But to what extent were the pups dire wolves—as opposed to, say, gray wolves with some of the dire wolf's physical traits? Did they act like dire wolves? No effort had been made to try to identify genes for behavior. Did they think or smell or sound like the extinct animals? I spoke to Elinor Karlsson, a program director at the Broad Institute, a joint Harvard and M.I.T. facility. An expert on wolf and dog genetics, she is a member of Colossal's advisory board. But she told me that she has some doubts about the company's messaging: "I ask Beth, 'Why are you calling this a dire wolf when it's a gray wolf with seventeen or eighteen changes in its DNA?'" Shapiro has countered that she did what she set out to do: "We've succeeded in creating the phenotype of a dire wolf."
