If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Y'all are really pushing all of the Black journalists out of the industry, so that you can ask trash questions like this?
Embarrassing.
Some questions are harmful in and of themselves. It doesn't matter what's said in the debate, or who "wins."
Pretending that this is not trash, is weakness.

the minutes of the October meeting between WellBN and SussexICB are chilling. Andrew Dodson from the Sussex side just openly saying patients will be “deprescribed,” that they’ll have no choice and won’t be allowed to talk to the team taking their healthcare away

“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞

Charlie Kirk’s shooter was a 22 year old white cis man & 4chan groyper.
Charlie Kirk’s last words were “gang violence”. he was claiming Black people were inherently violent right before his life was ended by another white man.
Here is a description of Kirk’s terrorism by one of his many victims:

What's the past tense of the verb "to unwind" (≈ relax/decompress) for you?
A) "unwound"
B) "unwinded"
C) this verb doesn't have a past tense and you'd reword to avoid like "I had to unwind".
Is it different than for the past tense of "unwind" (≈ unrolling thread)?

I’m reminded of the recent remarks by Dr. Oz saying it was our “patriotic duty” to remain healthy so we consume fewer healthcare resources.
