We've all been asking this question. Thank you for clarifying their grievances....

Worried about missing an early flight? No need. Simply book an alarm call at the airport hotel.

For most of the last year, we've been using a new answer to "What is BirminghamWatch (a.k.a. @bhamwatch.bsky.social)?" as it was clear we were trying to do too much (physically and financially). Granted, if you read us regularly, you've probably already figured it out.

For the evening crowd - I forgot to mention: some 30-odd years after his tour, Dad had surgery to cut (yet more) shrapnel out of his back and legs. This was just before 9/11; he used to set off metal detectors in airports - and he was very, very glad that he had it removed when he did.

Nice.

Why do they call drug trials, "randomized clinical trial", instead of "trick or treatment"?

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have developed a nasal COVID-19 vaccine that BLOCKS transmission of the virus. This suggests vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a CRITICAL role in containing the spread of respiratory infections. Phase I clinical trials HAVE BEEN APPROVED! 🧪🧵⬇️

Finally! Another blog post! I know you've all been waiting on the edge of your seats, heh. It's just word metrics and whatnot, but hey - some of you seem to like that: www.cheriepriest.com/blog/e3x1i6w...

pampered possum 🖤

Also - and I wish there was more advocacy for civic engagement from voices in our community rather than just pointing out the bad - but please call your elected officials.

Because this platform is moderated. This is not Twitter. There is no Elon Musk dominating an algorithm that drags down the platform Bluesky is unique. We need it to grow.

Grave Reservations ebook by @cheriepriest.com for 1.99USD! This was such a fun read, definitely recommend!

Ooo this is a good one ☺️

Possum break

Still! Going! On! 👇👇👇👇👇👇

Remember, yes, you are likely taking a risk with every post you make. Who knows HOW crazy and unlawful they are going get, going after perceived enemies. I'll just say this: Without people willing to take risks...nothing notable or meaningful has ever happened in world history. If not us....who?

D Suicide: Let's say you, and I are friends, and one night, we decide to go out and hit the town...and party it up. You want to go to Nightclub X. I want to go to Nightclub Y. We both stand our ground and wind up parting...each going to our chosen Nightclub. The next afternoon, we text each 1/5

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

We had a wonderful Battle of Britain reenactment over the airport today! Absolutely incredible manoeuvres. Loops, dive bombs, inversions - the pilots showed amazing skills. Wasn't so pleasant for the passengers on the British Airways and Lufthansa 737s that took part though.

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

NASA may have been ordered to stop observances but Foot Pound Force continues to lift all voices together! Happy Black History Month.

THIS is what Tech is supposed to fucking be. Do not except anything less.

Every day Ngumba has to ride 10 miles down a steep and dangerous mountain on a rusty bike with no brakes. If enough people buy our Unfairtrade Coffee, we'll upload the video. It's absolute comedy gold.
