It’s taken a while but so glad @obshealth.bsky.social has moved here. I would say it but if you are at all interested in health systems and policy you really do need to follow eurohealthobservatory.who.int

Among the many innovative features listed in this article, I find the use of a custom domain both easy and useful. By connecting an account to a personal domain and website, it acts as a means of verification that is more meaningful than any check mark, paid or unpaid! Congrats @bsky.app

The profile banner is a detail of Tao Hong's painting "Eye in the Sky" (2018, oil on canvas, 200cm by 300cm) at the National Art Museum in Beijing, on 13 Sep 2019. A mosaic of 100s of corporate icons, the piece serves as fitting metaphor for surveillance capitalism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveil...
