I love that soon diabetes supplies and menopause hormone meds will be covered in #BC by #pharmacare like birth control already is. This benefits people I know and love. But how about colostomy supplies? That should be covered too. I’m shocked they’re not already. #nationalpharmacare

I was so obsessed with this case when it was on the Serial podcast years ago.

What a great idea and great results - more towns and cities should do this.
Portland pays homeless residents to clean up the city's trash. They've collected over 1 million pounds
Currently or formerly homeless workers get paid $20-29 an hour and have access to an array of benefits.

I spend a lot of time on Reddit and am loving seeing many subreddits this week institute bans on any links from Twitter. Don’t give that toxic site any more traffic or the ad revenue it generates 👏🏻 #Reddit

I may have misheard--is it true that every committee in the House and Senate in 2025 will be headed by men? Isn't this macho shit getting a little ridiculous?

While it’s not unusual for big corporations to donate to inaugural funds, META did not donate to the first Trump Inaugural Fund in 2017 and did not donate to Biden’s Inaugural Fund in 2021.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

It’s been 4-5 weeks since I had to stop running due to knee pain. Today I went for 6km and just had minor pain. 🤞🏻 this continues in the right direction! 🏃🏼♀️

I love having every Friday off myself.
When I worked in restaurants, I worked enough doubles to give myself a 4 day workweek.
I chose Mondays off, but that was also bc I liked to do errands when everyone else was busy. So maybe Fridays off would be the more popular option

Hey Bluesky - can you guys kick this idiot off your board?
The entire community here thinks Jack is dangerous and going to get people killed with this anti-vax nonsense.
You won’t build a strong community if he remains involved.
