Going to share this post from @jgsseeerd41.bsky.social as a screenshot w/ the link to the family fundraiser as the video shows more of the baby than is safe for her (creepers be creeping & I want the family protected from those people). Donate and share. www.muslimgiving.org/arfat

Screenshot includes a freeze frame from a video of a baby in Gaza with a large abdominal sore, with a watermelon digital sticker overlying where the baby’s vagina is visible on the original video. There is skin irritation on the inside thigh of the other leg as well, which is what the mother was trying to show.

Post says: “literally, my child will die if we don’t quickly save [her] life with emergency surgery. I am poor, I have no money, and I don’t want to lose my child. I beg you and implore you to save my child. The story is on the donations page. Donate via the link.” After that, the same link provided in my post is displayed. Please click the link in my post to navigate to the donations page to help this poor family.

Suspension of accts from Bluesky has called into question the mission and very existence of Blacksky. "If bsky can still suspend you, what's the point?"

For one usually Bluesky doesn't just suspend you. They delete all of your data AND suspend you. Moving to Blacksky prevents that. 4/11

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

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

So much of the angry discourse moments that riled up everyone on the site have been a direct result of tech-focused folks trying to explain tech to non-tech people. It’s a consistent lack of understanding of the
depth of knowledge that normies have. They’ve gotta pass the torch to an expert.

I am not speaking against mammogram. In fact, mammogram should be done SOONER for some women.

I'm challenging the statement that there is no breast cancer epidemic when some populations are dying more.

I am offended by the tone that everything is rosy. Black women are dying more.

Citizen.Coping @propcazhpm.bsky.social · Apr 11

Also, there is a new kind of mammogram that dense breast havers can get that involves contrast.

Contrast-enhanced mammogram adds iodine, similar to MRI, to catch anything at earlier stage.

Based on the disparities in breast cancer mortality alone, some of us should be offered this by default.

What is a contrast-enhanced mammogram?

Contrast-enhanced mammography uses iodine-based dye to help detect breast cancers earlier. Olena Weaver, M.D., describes more about this mammogram, who it is right for and what happens at an appointme...
