An Open Letter to our Publishers has been sent to over 90 Publishing CEOs this morning in response to the concerns of our members. 1/4
![With the election of the trump administration and its policies as embodied by Project 2025, we authors have deep concerns about how our publishers will be operating and how publishers will advocate for and protect authors. Trump's agenda explicitly calls for the criminalization of authors, teachers, librarians, and publishing professionals with the consequences including, "imprison[ment]," and being "classed as registered sex offenders" (pg 4 Project 2025)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5jnockxrg63tj4sh24j2y6br/bafkreifuobvu6qojz5fectj7ptbwrzp4t3mpvojwwcnapxprdhn7oc6c5a@jpeg)

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky

Working on my #NCTE24 presentation reminded me of the bookmark Darren and I created to help kids understand the difference b/t mis- dis- and mal- info + what to do when THEY are the source of misinformation. Hope you find it useful. #medialit #edusky #skybrarians #tlsky bit.ly/misinfobookm...
