#LGBTQWriteAThon June 11: I'm always eager for more non-binary rep!

Question for my fellow poets who write on iPhones: I see a lot of poets uploading poems with a simple plain background. It looks nice and you can get more words in then you can on Bluesky. I come from Android world, so I’m wondering how best to do this on my iPhone. Any thoughts appreciated! ☺️
