@profmusgrave.bsky.social could I be added to the polisky list please, and @psawomenpol.bsky.social thanks so much!

Whenever I try and add a feed to 'My feeds' it doesn't save. So then when I got to my feeds it is not there. Anyone got a similar issue?

I am also co-convenor of @psawomenpol.bsky.social so follow us on here as well for more gender and politics and polsiky content

End of feed.
