Another older tip for newbies. Set your system to make you use alt text. Bluesky is the nice place, and we should be nice to users who use alt text.
Note: on Bluesky you can have your settings force you to add alt-text before posting, and I recommend doing so.
Alt text is great because:
A) it helps people who are vision impaired.
2) it helps people who aren't Extremely Online℠ (me!) get the reference.
Ω) you can hide funny stuff in there.

Why long COVID hits women harder than men
Women are about three times more likely than men to develop long COVID, and many experience symptoms that linger and intensify.

This was a very enlightening read and also hopeful for those suffering. Hopefully future studies can support the theories. Good work UofA!

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

While I'm not running for a federal office (this time...) I can tell you that I wouldn't cave like Schumer and friends.
I'd use my own money to power up mutual aid networks and support systems so we can win the damn fight.
And I'm not nearly as rich as a sitting US Senator.

The best deli on the planet. No visit to Montreal is complete without lunch there.

Poverty IS a choice.
Not by the individual, but by our society.
Every single step of the way, someone is trying to make sure you do not get access to something you need to survive.
You soon learn that they’d rather pay to keep you poor than help you live.

You soon learn that they’d rather pay to keep you poor than help you live.
How It Happens:
Disability & Poverty 🧵
1. You get sick &/ injured & cannot work. You don’t qualify for WSIB, so you go on STD, if you have it, & start pursuing treatment &/ rehab options as soon as you’re physically & mentally able to do so.
