RIP to the great #DavidLynch piece for @spoke-art.com tribute art show from a while back

So glad to be here! Let's start with this:

Laughter loosens the logjam.
Little by little,
words temporarily halted
by despair
once again
begin to flow.
Can the rapids
be far behind?

A banner promoting the Canadian KidLit & YA Community on Bluesky, featuring a collage of user avatars arranged in two rows. The text at the top reads "JOIN THE CONVERSATION" and at the bottom, a Canadian flag icon precedes the text "Canadian KidLit & YA Community on Bluesky" with a butterfly logo.

Woohoo! In celebration of #CanadaDay, I created my first Theme Pack! (calling it a Theme Pack rather than Starter Pack to give me more leeway)

The #CanKidLit pack incl. just a sampling of users in the community: go.bsky.app/CzuFhAd #kidlit
