I've been on the board of @theopennotebook.bsky.social for 2+ years now, and today, this tiny, scrappy nonprofit turns 15!!!

If you've got a couple dollars (maybe even $15 for the 15th birthday?), please consider donating: www.theopennotebook.com/15thannivers...

Here's why I donate 🧵

“You’re part of a global community” – @biancanogrady.bsky.social.

Help TON celebrate another 15 years as a global resource—supporting tens of thousands of journalists with free tools, training, and community. #TON15 www.theopennotebook.com/15thannivers...

“We can become better storytellers together.” – Tiên Nguyễn

As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, we invite you to honor the past, elevate the present, and invest in the future of science journalism. #TON15 www.theopennotebook.com/15thannivers...

Science journalism matters. Trust in facts matters. Community matters. Thank you for being part of TON’s story. Help us celebrate another 15 years.

@theopennotebook.bsky.social is a tiny org that punches above its weight.

TON's work strengthens science journalism and helps journalists navigate life-or-death issues like climate change, measles, and federal funding for cancer research, and to hold power to account.

Now TON needs your support:
