I’ve reported on homelessness for years and met many, many people who have found themselves in awful situations

Not exactly the most important issue, but this site has proved exceptional at covering breaking international news, exclusively due starter packs. Far superior to Twitter, even in its prime.

Thank you @bsky.app for suspending the fake account within hours of it being reported. On X there are several fake accounts which have been live for more than a year & X has proved incapable of removing them. What a difference. The sky is most definitely bluer here🙏

Leadbeater's approach is incredibly affecting and humane. She is reading out a list of stories from people she has spoken to - currently those who committed suicide rather than leaving a disease to take its course. "Hearing these stories is not easy, but it is important that we do."
