I'm getting ready to do a Bluesky 101 session for health and medical researchers at U-M (not yet scheduled!) and I put together a list of tips and terms. If anyone has a chance to review and give feedback, I'd be grateful! And if you find it useful, great! www.slideshare.net/slideshow/bl...

Kudos to the school administrator who wrote this letter for making it clear to families what happened and who they should blame. This is the way to build a coalition--with a shared adversary and a reason to fight.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.
