welcome to all new bluesky users. please keep in mind that it is still in beta. there are many features still missing, so please be patient. for example, you may notice that this app loads posts and then shows them to you, instead of not doing that for some reason.

It's something we tried years ago, login wall for all twitter content, the experiment showed users just bounce (low conversion rate). https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/30/twitter-now-requires-an-account-to-view-tweets/

Ok, very late here, but loving Instacart.

Q- why isnt there an easy option to switch to another provider if they don't have something on my grocery list.

Me: but why?
Staff: oh just appreciating all the hard work you do
Me: (still very suspicious of a popup popcorn booth in our micro kitchen)
Colleague: must be some extra quarter end budget
Me: aaahhhh (!)

i’ve been sad for twitter many times over by now. all the hard work that an amazing team put in to build a real-time global communications platform that was an unprecedented cultural force, esp the trust & safety folks who were leading an industry, thrown away; my own communities have scattered

Some good news: for a few years now I’ve been working to get the FDA to drop a discriminatory ban against gay & bisexual men from donating blood. 🩸

Today we won! 🥳
FDA just announced new blood donation guidelines & dropped the ban!

Shout out Reps. Schiff, Pappas, & B Lee who we worked w/ on this
FDA relaxes blood donation guidelines for men who have sex with men
The new approach does away with a requirement that men who have sex with men abstain from sex for three months to prior to giving blood.
