Hello, all! I’m stoked to be here and out of algo-misery to rediscover the commons with y’all. That said, I’m still getting my bearings on how to explore this place.

Bonus points if they involve #dogs #goodbooks #bloomscrolling #walkablecities
With care,

Meetings recur every third Monday of the month at 4 PM via Zoom (FMI at link below). Meetings will be ~45 minutes and will consist of introductions, share outs, and time for questions! I’ll be there to facilitate and help connect folks with resources."
