Thank you so much for coming, @substockman.bsky.social. It was so buoying to be in conversation with these writers I so admire! @manjula.bsky.social, @rahawahaile.bsky.social, @latriagraham.bsky.social, @maggiemertens.bsky.social
My hashtag #NFNow25 hasn't taken off. But doing the same thing over and over hoping for a different result is the definition of persistence.

Excited for this @manjula.bsky.social @latriagraham.bsky.social @maggiemertens.bsky.social @rahawahaile.bsky.social and @emilystrasser.bsky.social
