20% of English Wikipedia's biographies are about women! This is a huge milestone, but there's so much more work to be done on notable women who are more than qualified for their own Wikipedia biography. Thank you to all of the editors who are taking part in this work 🫶 #gendergap #wikipedia

Wonderful thread

Joined this place yesterday. It seems good. Thanks for the follows. In case you don’t know, I post old postcards and bits from the messages on the other side. Hope you like them. Tell your friends. Cheers, Tom

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up. Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.

Oh hello Britain 😳 That blue line is activity in the UK spiking past all of the other countries on Bluesky right now. Welcome, and invite a friend to join us! bsky.app/download

Have finally ditched X. Like many in the UK I’ve been shocked at the recent levels of hate speech there, and at the site’s facilitation and encouragement. I can’t in good conscience remain. Fortunately, things seem a lot more pleasant here
