Well, happy ending-- Bobbi was later recognized by Yale for her efforts (see image below) 🎉
Of the incident, her mother said, "“I wanted it to be a teachable moment. This same call could’ve happened in another state with another police officer, and I would be grieving.”

@fern Hi. Thanks for replying. It seems to be ok on Geekdom.social/explore. It happens on Chrome and Edge on my PC and was happening on Metatext on my phone, but seems to be ok on Metatext now.
I haven't changed any settings on my PC, network, or Mastodon. I also have my virus scanner under control for every other website, so I don't know why it would single out mindly.social. My ISP may have sneaked something in to make my life difficult.
