For all you newbies to Bluesky, remember to repost more than you’re used to (even your own posts sometimes), as there’s not really an algorithm here. Also you can make custom feeds of your friends, or on specific topics. Also repost funny, quirky things, not just political outrage or despair!

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library?

Merci Gisèle 🧡💪🏼
