I was trying to recreate this issue on my own phone but was not able to. Would you mind telling me what phone browser you are using, and did you eventually get it to work? Sorry about this

Today's ISSUE 04 SPOTLIGHT is a lesson in compassion by @ivyintheroad.bsky.social

Read the full issue:
bleatingthingmagazine.com/current.html
A red-and-yellow toned image of a two-headed sheep standing in a field, against a backdrop of trees. The text reads: "[Fern] tells us during read-and-share that there was a fire in the bathroom and that her bird died. Smoke pressed against its chest feathers and its heart stopped beating and it went black and still." - Ivy Jones, Cream-and-Sugar ISSUE 04 BLEATINGTHINGMAGAZINE.COM
