Looking forward to #FemFestival today! This year's theme is Taking Back Our Power, with some great speakers exploring intersectionality and reclaiming our voices. In these early days of Bluesky I've only found one speaker to tag: Hi @amyleach.bsky.social Join us! ww2.emma-live.com/femfestival2...

There didn't seem to be a Starter Pack about philanthropy, so I made one! Let me know who else should be on it :-) This is people doing philanthropy, studying it, writing about it, advising on it, creating/ collating data to aid it. go.bsky.app/L8rNxLG
