It was strange going back to the former Vaughan College, now part of @jewrywallroman.bsky.social' but we had a great meeting and have a few plans!
A very interesting, positive and fruitful meeting today between the @vaughancoop.bsky.social and @jewrywallroman.bsky.social. We will look for synergies. #AncientBluesky ⚱️🦋
