It’s a feed that you can either hashtag or mark with “💙📚”

It was one of the first feeds I stumbled across when I joined the app, and it also lead me to @michaellaborn.bsky.social and mission to publish black & brown fiction authors with his Bindery Imprint - Left Unread.

My content’s going to be obnoxious today & tomorrow, fair warning. I’m trying to hit my goal of 500 paid subscribers in Bindery for my birthday tomorrow and I am 115 away. So I will be obnoxious as I try to make that happen over the next 48 hours. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I shared this on other socials but haven’t here. My family is going through some crazy changes and circumstances right now (that I don’t particularly want to talk about yet). And we need help. If you’re able, here’s the link. If not, that’s cool too! Love y’all! ❤️❤️
