If you have yet to sign up for this project it’s not too late—far from it, there are still over 70 posts to come from an amazing lineup of authors @writingco-lab.bsky.social

@smathewss.bsky.social writes this as a novelist, an organizer and an immigrant who grew up under authoritarianism. I found it a centering and even calming experience to read it, arriving at a place to act from, variously.
