A is for Authors, B is for Bluesky!
Rebecca Solnit, N.K. Jemisin, Min Jin Lee, Colson Whitehead, Ed Yong, Heather Cox Richardson, Questlove, Rebecca F. Kuang, Amy Tan, Cheryl Strayed, Margaret Renkl, S.A. Crosby, and more of the best! No James Baldwin or Jane Austen, but they totally would have been on Bluesky.
