Bumping the PSA because someone else who needed it found it recently and it's been a good bit: if you are diagnosed with Dupuytren's/Ledderhose, read this thread and get to an oncologist who does radiotherapy treatment AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
I don't think I've done this PSA on BlueSky yet: so: if you are diagnosed with Dupuytren's (hands) or Ledderhose (feet) disease, your orthopedist will probably tell you there's nothing they can do until you reach stage 4 and you have lost motion in your fingers/have lumps immobilizing your feet.

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate.
The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵

this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal

Brazil nuts, almost unique in our food supply, are not cultivated, but are collected in the wilds of the Amazon forest. Communities of indigenous nut harvesters maintain intact forests necessary for the trees. When you eat Brazil nuts, you are contributing to the conservation of Amazon forests. 🌏

Coming back to say thankfully AmEx sided with me in my chargeback & I got my $ back. But if missed it: #eShakti, formerly great, is full scam now; they take your $, deliver only excuses, then try to wait out your chargeback period. Google has the full story & the BBB has removed their accreditation.

i think we should stop giving our ai bots female names (alexa, siri) and give them names from the old white boys club (john, james, chad) in honor of how overconfident and annoying they are even when they’re completely wrong or making stuff up

Heat wave season reminder: one incident of severe heatstroke can cause an acute brain injury, as well as predispose you (generally temporarily) to getting heatstroke again. Do not push past early symptoms of heat exhaustion.
Catch it as heat exhaustion, and avoid an ER visit for heatstroke.
