I've helped Amira set up a new Bluesky account after her last one was wrongly deleted. Please help her if you can - she needs money to feed her family, for transport and to begin rebuilding their lives.

@mikescott84.bsky.social hello, whoever you are doing this page. Please stop presenting it to look like my real page. If it is genuinely a fan account, remame it and its address to make that clear. Do not use the word "official" or the banner/icon photos from my page.

This account is not me and it is not official.

A very good read! www.spin.com/2025/10/the-...
