I am hosting an event this weekend!
The impetus for creating this gathering may have arisen from some demand avoidance around writing my dissertation, and also a reaction to the enshitification of just about everything.
(Side note, if you haven’t seen this awesome Norwegian video, I recommend you stop everything and do that because it’s hilarious and we need to laugh now more than ever).
So why an in-person event?
Honestly, in large part because I needed a distraction from my dissertation (which is going well, it’s just such a beast of a project to wrangle).
Also because as a parent of teens, I feel much less connected to my local community than I did when they were little. I’m hoping to change that in the coming months as time allows.
And, as noted, the world is depressing as hell - I’ve been wanting to make something, anything, just a little more concretely better. Increasing connections in my local community seemed like a good place to start, as I’ve seen many times how these kinds of events can create a ripple of positive experiences for families.
So, I did a thing, and we’re having a gathering, and it should be fun. If you’re near Boulder, I hope to see you there.
