@windingdot I tried using a VPN but I noticed that without it, I can do most things except DMs and view NSFW. Still very disappointed in Bluesky since they rolled this out before any of my other apps have.

“I did not even know where Martha’s Vineyard was. And now I feel welcomed by everybody here. I’m working, making friends and this is home for me now,” Ms. Cauro said with a wide smile. “This is home now. I don’t want to leave.”

Really lovely story about the migrants who stayed behind on Martha's Vineyard and found community there after being duped and dumped there by DeSantis last year.

How Migrants Flown to Martha’s Vineyard Came to Call It Home

Florida flew 49 migrants from Texas to the liberal enclave last year. Since then, a few of them have found work, friends and a new life on the wealthy island.

@BlackAzizAnansi It was really clever. I found interesting local folks, and I learned so much from Black Twitter that I will always be grateful. It was also the easiest and best place to follow breaking news.

@q_aurelius The only time I've had a drink at a kids' sporting event was last year, a few hours after Roe was struck down.

I haven't noticed cobblestones in other parts of Old Beechwold during road projects. This is on Olentangy Blvd near Rustic Pl. #Clintonville #Columbus #Beechwold

I generally find it trashy to drink alcohol at a kids' sporting event, but what if it's a baseball game at 8:30 on a Saturday night? 🤔

@q_aurelius Wild! It's totally dead for me. I can't see anything new or read replies to my tweets, and I get the "can't load tweets" pop-up on every view.
