As requested, a 🧵 about my process for reading applications for @roundtablementor.bsky.social ! Before we get into it, one important note: I’m sure this is not how agents read queries—I’m looking for something I can help, not something I can sell. Okay, here we go! 1/

Reviewing @roundtablementor.bsky.social applications is so exciting!

started reading @roundtablementor.bsky.social 's apps and i am FLOORED with the quality of these applications. if you are an applicant, check your email for a link to the discord server so you won't miss out on a great pool of resources and connections!
