If encampments for the unhoused upset you, direct the blame where it belongs. The stigma and exclusion experienced by people suffering from #homelessness and drug #addiction are very real, by @mtltoula.bsky.social montrealgazette.com/opinion/colu... via @mtlgazette.bsky.social #ToxicDrugCrisis
Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.
@jennlong3.bsky.social You are her3! It's so much nicer than the other place

Bluesky,
Today is my 2nd day on here as an escapee from The Bad Place. I am BEGGING y’all to repost this
I have $80,000 in scholarship money to give away to women and girls NATIONWIDE. I worked so hard to raise this money. Applications open THIS week. I’m scared the mass migration will impact this
Not a definitive list but a short list of folks I’ve found on this site who have interesting things to share about Alberta politics. Enjoy. 🤠

Misinformation Decided the US Election www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/2...
"Polling data show that Donald Trump’s supporters were deeply misinformed..."
If "more than half of the electorate wants to be misinformed, America – and indeed human civilization – is in serious trouble."
Happy to find you here

Should I tell Twitter I’m here? I don’t want to inadvertently cause an influx of all the worst accounts on the internet.
New to Bluesky? A helpful tip in case you didn't know: instead of hashtags, you can just add emojis or certain terms to ensure you reach topic-specific feeds & save characters in posts.
E.g., my usuals:
🛟 or public health
🩺 or medsky
🧭 or bioethics
🧪or science
📉📈 or econsky
😷 or episky

Teens learn a new conspiracy theory every week on social media yet most schools aren’t teaching media literacy fastcompany.com/91224580/tee...
"80% of teens who use social media say they see content about conspiracy theories..."
From study: Support robust "media literacy education policies." YES!
Some thoughts about using #bluesky for newbies ...
* fill out your bio
* post (even into the void)
* check out feeds
* block don't feed trolls
* like and repost as you pass through
There isn't the same algorithm here so we make the weather. 😊
