This Friday, One Million Neighbours #WatReg is hosting our monthly drop-in meeting in Cambridge. RSVP here: https://gath.io/91ET8dCs1JthrXFWxg6ry

We're testing a federated event platform called Gath.io (@91ET8dCs1JthrXFWxg6ry). the process was pretty simple to set up! I appreciate the Calendar and Maps integration, and the fact that guests don't have to sign up to RSVP.

Also, if you're in KW and need a ride to Cambridge, let me know :)

The correct answer: supervocalic. Which is also an autonym!

My response to a trivia question about the term for a word that contains every vowel exactly once: “an aeiou?”
