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 think it's a question a lot of us think about on our own, and it's easy to get overwhelmed. So thanks to @gachzoldberg.bsky.social, @ollieschminkey.bsky.social, @seemore.bsky.social, @katparent.bsky.social, and @fionaswriting.bsky.social for thinking through this with me.

More and more poets showing up here. Today it's @ollieschminkey.bsky.social, who wrote one (two really) of my favorite books.
Our books came out around the same time, and we did a deep dive conversation about process, "the work" of our work, and more here: guante.info/2022/05/10/o...
