Erederyn Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Was nice to meet again! For the next meeting, I was thinking we could perhaps discuss either aro activisim and community involvement/building or alloaro inclusivity/representation (for example, read something from Bones of Green and Hearts of Gold and/or some of AUREA's articles) or we can share and discuss our favorite works from AroWriMo and ASAW. Any of these sound good? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticanary Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I love those ideas. For next month my favourite is the idea of discussing aro activism. It would be interesting to talk about that after aro awareness week, It would be cool to talk about what people have one and how it went. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of these sound good? I also think these are all good ideas. So maybe we go for aro activism for March's meeting and use the others for April or May etc? I was thinking of the weekend of Saturday 6th / Sunday 7th? Before I say the usual time of 7PM (UK time) on the Sunday is anyone quietly screaming, "not that time again, I can't do it!". At the moment the whole weekend is free so I'll leave it at that for now and schedule the exact time in a few days or so. Let me know, otherwise I'll stick to the same old time :-). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogObsessedLi Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Just to let you know that I've set up a Facebook group for these videocalls as I'm aware that some people prefer Facebook. If you also know of anyone who would also be interested feel free to share the group with them, just let them know that there's security questions to answer before I admit members. https://www.facebook.com/groups/3585539994877768 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogObsessedLi Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 I'm just posting on here after discussion on the Facebook group about scheduling the time for earlier due to a timezone different. We are discussing moving the time to around 11AM (UK time) on either a Saturday or Sunday. At the moment, everyone who regularly attends is a European timezone. If this can help at all let me know? :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erederyn Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I was thinking, maybe we could discuss other forms of attraction (non-romantic, non-sexual) as a topic for April? Inspired by the TAAAP discussion on platonic attraction for their pride chats this month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I say the weekend of the 10th/11th April would that work for the usual bunch and anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elin W Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hi! I’ve been away from this forum for a while but excited to take part in the video chats again :) the dates seem good but if it’s on Sunday I won’t be able to participate cause I’m working that time :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharCharChar Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 That's 5am my time, but my sleep schedule is wrecked at the moment, and perhaps it will still be wrecked by April 10 :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogObsessedLi Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 meet.google.com/qum-mmnd-xkw (just in case you are struggling to find the link) I've just double checked the link to make sure it was still active, and it was, so see some of you tomorrow (11AM UK time). UnYoung kindly posted this link on the Facebook group that could be useful for the discussion tomorrow: https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Tertiary_Attraction?fbclid=IwAR33Q-gMWOBjCruHI6lNrKLXl30FYbQjI2P6dP2DgwMH8x3LnUeo-ZbJAtM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharCharChar Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I mentioned aplatonicism in the last meeting, so here's a link to my summary of the TAAAP pride chat about aplatonicism in case people are interested. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogObsessedLi Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Does anyone have any preference for topic for May's meet? I was thinking about choosing a story or two or more from https://aroworlds.files.wordpress.com/2020/11/bones-of-green-and-hearts-of-gold-k.-a.-cook.pdf (thanks to whoever put it on the google doc). I looked at the Aze journal but it seems much more asexuality based (though I do like much of the art work). What do people think? I'll have a closer look at the Aro Worlds pdf over the weekend (I'm busy tomorrow) to see how long the stories are. Or would people like a month or there's about from now to read them all and then meet to discuss? Unless anyone is desperate for another topic? 4 weeks will be weekend of 22nd/23rd May. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
