This is such a happy thing.
Also, just yesterday I modified some mechanical drawing pencils with foam pipe insulation, 1/4" inner diameter. Remarkably lightweight and comfy to grip. Also works on pens and gels and paintbrushes and etc.

For many of my patients with Long COVID and disabilities, in-person visits are exhausting, inaccessible, or simply not feasible. Removing telehealth coverage means denying care to those who need it most. We must protect access to virtual care.

It's a user-created list of (a type of) accounts. It's a bit un-intuitive, but if you subscribe to a moderation list, you can then mute or block the accounts in one fell swoop. This list happens to be one I use myself and I am comfortable recommending it.
08.01.2025 01:00 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0There's also (at least one, there may be others) well-maintained moderation list for OnlyFans and related bots. No harm meant, but it's not what I'm here for and the list works pretty well: bsky.app/profile/mica...
