For those who just joined @mclsig.bsky.social & @writinglit.bsky.social tonight, here is the #literacies starter pack. Let me know if I can add you to it!

Anna Smith @anna-phd.bsky.social · Nov 12

About 15 years ago we started the #literacies chat over on the bird app. It provided so many meaningful conversations & connections over the years. This includes some of those people & others in the field. Let me know who else I can add (and follow!) as we work to rebuild here! go.bsky.app/HZLhPr
