Every time I speak with Eslam she asks me to help getting her @soma-eslam.bsky.social account restored. She had a whole community on Bluesky and it was unfairly taken from her. If you want to email [email protected] to ask for it to be restored it would maybe be helpful ❤️
Eslam is still trying to get her account back. If you’ve ever interacted with her, please take a minute to email moderation and ask them to reinstate her.

you can also continue supporting Eslam here: chuffed.org/project/1282...
from her most recent update: “My donations have nearly vanished since I lost my Bluesky account two months ago. Everything is slowly collapsing around me.”

they needed the whole editorial board for this one?
At this point, the Washpost edit page is just trolling its readers.
This is today's actual house editorial.

Gender is a spectrum from just wanting have fun to being back in town, and to varying degrees, each of us contains attributes of both, which is a beautiful thing

Why does it feel like no one feels our suffering anymore?
My children are still cold, hungry and fighting every single day. Naser still needs his daily treatment, and every hour without help is fear for his life
Please don’t turn away… your support is our last hope💔💔

How I feel about the whole Olivia Nuzzi story is that there are a lot of talented, ethical, underemployed or unemployed black and brown journalists right now who are ready to work.

a PSA: most nonprofit newsrooms right now are probably participating in the NewsMatch program RIGHT NOW. That’s a program funded by a few foundations that “matches” your end-of-year donation.
If you set up $10 monthly, that literally unlocks $120 from NewsMatch.
So who could you support?
