"In an attempt to reduce the population of the former Danish colony, at least 4,500 women and girls are believed to have undergone the medical procedure, being forcibly fitted with the contraceptive coil, usually without their consent or knowledge, at the hands of Danish doctors, from 1966-1970 alone.

Dear fedi folk:
I want you to know how much I appreciate you. I'm at-risk for Covid, and still mostly isolating. So your funny, random, informative and thoughtful posts are my water-cooler, my community radio. Your posts bring me laughter, reflection, learning, & sometimes outrage - all of it good. Sometimes you even catch my #dyslexic typos.
Thanks for being in community together with me. Keep being kind, woke, informative, funny
Keep being you. I like it!

"duets with Miley Cyrus & Post Malone, covers of Dolly Parton's Jolene & The Beatles' song Blackbird. Willie Nelson & Linda Martell also feature."
👀 "Have you never quite bought into the idea of personal brand or 15 minutes of fame? Do you gravitate towards, and deeply enjoy, roles that tend to be outside of the limelight? Then this learning and community space might be for you!"
NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER a learning and community space for those who love to help others shine

Apple screen reader (built into the OS) ignored all formatting, so the strikeout word ("me") gets read without change. Otherwise it sounded fine. It also said the tagged word without formatting. So the message is conveyed, but formatting is lost.
Meanwhile, on the Thames:
"River Action said the highest level it recorded was 9,801 CFU per 100ml, meaning it was nearly 10 times higher than levels found in bathing waters graded as poor by Environment Agency standards."
I use duckduckgo browser and search.
It doesn't spy on where I am located or store what I previously searched for or track my browsing. Which matters because … https://ioc.exchange/@omartwotone/112169180328029776
