🎶 Hey there Mr. Bluesky! 🎶

Good to see more and more users coming aboard. I’m Jen. I moved to public media education after a long career in conservation/enviro ed. So far PBS has given me lots of full circle moments and opportunities to work alongside amazing humans (and other beings!) I ❤️ PBS.

😂

I’m hoping all the public media folks find their way over too!

I got to make quilts with PBS KIDS fabric alongside hundreds of volunteers and the happiness it gave my heart has a lasting impact.

I’m from a station! Hoping more PBS folks migrate over.
