I NO LONGER RECOGNIZE MYSELF…
The person I once was is buried beneath the ruins of these endless nights.
My heart carries more pain than it can bear.💔

Every breath I take feels borrowed,
and every sunrise reminds me that I survived…
but I’m not truly alive.

✨ PLEASE STAND WITH US.
✨ BE OUR VOICE.🕊

Look at the innocence of childhood, look at the pain inside them, look at the hunger, how it affected their bodies, the horrific anemia inside them. Don't be stingy with my children in buying food and medicine. Don't let them die of hunger.

It's Reem 🇵🇸🍉 @reeeeeeem.bsky.social · 6h

Sakher’s account was shut down — the only place where he spoke to the world about his pain and his suffering.

That account was his only voice, his way to survive and keep going.

Are you a non-Black person pissed at Bluesky leadership and feeling a little jealous of all the good vibes coming from Blacksky?

There are Blacksky adjacent options for you! Here’s info from the Blacksky migration guide!

docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to...

Screengrab from Blacksky migration guide:

blacksky algorithms

A Warning: Anyone else using a blacksky.app handle will receive a warning at first and then a suspension.

Alternative PDSs for Everyone
Blacksky Algorithms also operates two other
PDSs that are open to anyone:
• myatproto.social - Open to all
• cryptoanarchy.network - Open to all

These servers run on the same infrastructure as blacksky.app and are maintained by the same team, but are available for anyone to use regardless of background.

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.
