Are there any other account providers/servers on @bsky.app or are we all still using the Bluesky instance?
Feels like this never really opened up like it was supposed to. It’d be great to see a server list like on Mastodon, so we can have some idea of how/if the @atproto.com protocol is expanding.

In July, a Petworth resident called 911 for a medical emergency. Luckily, FEMS 24 is only 2 blocks away, help should have been there fast. That didn’t happen: OUC sent the call to the wrong address. These mistakes cost time, property damage & potentially lives.

This is a modern day book banning and we shouldn’t accept it in DC.
@janeese4dc.bsky.social is this really the standard we want to set for our kids in DC? As Mayor, how would you respond to this? Do you support @dcpublicschools.bsky.social removing full-length novels from their curriculum?

Staff at Alice Deal Middle School made the decision this year to remove all full-length novels from the 8th grade curriculum.
It's a mistake, current parent @aaronweso.bsky.social writes, arguing that "reading full novels has real and important benefits for middle school-age children and in life."
