Thanks so much @benbanyard.bsky.social There is a List 7 too now. Hope the starter packs help people find each other. There's also a newsfeed you can pin to your home page to follow posts from people within those lists which @lukejohnemmett.co.uk made & updates regularly: bsky.app/profile/luke...
Are you, like me, a relative newcomer to Bluesky whose fancy is tickled by #poetry? It can be daunting for those of us who have fled from X to rebuild contact lists pieced together over several years, but @hannahl1n.bsky.social has the answer!
My UK Poets List 6 is now full so I'll be starting List 7 soon! Look in my Starter Packs for all 6 lists to find 900 poets based in the UK. You can browse or follow all on each list so it makes it easier to find people.

When I woke yesterday to the horrid news of the shootings, I was very worried for America. Now, there's real hope that the people will succeed in opposing and replacing this regime. Over 12 million is the 3.5% of the population that signifies this is possible, now. Keep going everyone. Inspiring!
From coast to coast, city streets to small town squares, you showed up. And it mattered.
Honored to announce: 12.1 million in attendance.
