How might we promote our projects, events, campaigns, art, values, etc *beyond* social media? There's no one magic key, but some friends and I did some brainstorming and skill-sharing. Hope it can useful to artists, musicians, organizers, small business owners, and beyond:

I'm admittedly still learning how to use Bluesky (I somehow skipped over Twitter/X entirely), but I've got a very cool manuscript course coming up starting in Feb, and I'd love to see you there!
