My wife took this great picture of the moon Sunday evening. I appreciate the patience it took to capture these migrating Canada geese. Rodman, NY

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

COVID tests were so much cheaper in the UK (5 pack of Flowflex for £9.95?!) that I looked completely ridiculous buying a pile of them in the airport and am still going through them all
