DogObsessedLi Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 Yep, that is correct. 12noon GMT tomorrow :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogObsessedLi Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Were we talking about alternating it to be a little later on some months. Might be difficult this month because I have a commitment 5PM GMT until the end of January, but maybe could do later in February. Any preference of topic for this month? Any weekend dates that you seriously can't do? Sorry for being a little late in typing this, the Christmas/Yule season is a strange time to get around to things!

roboticanary Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I'm up for any weekend other than this coming one. Doing it is a little later is fine for me on Sundays. Later on Saturdays may be a bit difficult as I try to get in touch with family at around 5 ish (after the football). No prefference for topic yet, might try to have a proper look through them later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinn Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 My weekends in January are open so far. I don't mind keeping it around the same time this month; it's an early morning in my timezone but I'd be up anyway. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IA_8HAchi Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) I sure would. I'm free on weekends for the next two weeks, and my time zone is CST. Edited January 8, 2022 by IA_8HAchi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a star Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 oooo.... on one hand that topic is really interesting, on the other that's midnight my time. On the other hand, I probably won't need to be up until noon? and i'll need to get a webcam setup but I should have gotten one ages ago anyway.

On the other hand, I probably won't need to be up until noon? yeah, this is a fair point a few people have mentioned. Hopefully over the next few months there will be some experimenting with the times. If there are any times which would be good for you it might be worth mentioning them. @DogObsessedLianne does a very good job at the impossible task of trying to make a time that works for people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a star Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 @roboticanary I'm personally not too worried about doing stuff at weird times because most of the things I have on during the day are either movable or things I won't get in trouble for missing, but like if anyone else in the AEDST timezone or close to wants to make suggestions about what is a good time, I wouldn't object.

DogObsessedLi Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Hopefully from next month we'll have more variety in times. It's just I've got certain commitments in January at the moment, hence it's 1PM GMT this month. I might put together a google sheet for people to put their time zones in and best times. Obviously I can't cater for everyone every month, but it'll give me something to work from! Here is a form for people's best times. Please note all times are listed as GMT or BST (UK time) so please convert to your own timezone using the internet search engine of your choice. https://forms.gle/6RmpNyFwsy2WKjYW7 Edited January 9, 2022 by DogObsessedLianne Link needed changing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogObsessedLi Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 And here is a sheet for more detail than the Form. Any problems let me know. I will use both in deciding times. Of course it is also possible to organise something without me if you find my UK limitations too limiting (we all have our limitations so feel free to use the forms yourselves to organise if you'd like to). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eaOCOfABd_8n9YIgkqXcv_ZuDViwvvOuL9npIB4TulI/edit?usp=sharing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues if you haven't listened to the podcast or read the article. They were just suggestions. I know some people prefer podcasts, others prefer to read, others like to bring their own sources, and the most important in the mix is probably to bring our own life experience - so hopefully see some of you later :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogObsessedLi Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 What are people's availability for March? I was thinking 7PM (GMT) on a Sunday this time to give an opportunity for those on Eastern or similar times. It was suggested that maybe we could discuss aromanticism and the LGBTQ+ community.

roboticanary Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 March for me is going to be chaos (good chaos) no matter what. I might be able to make that one but to be honest there is no preffered time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieD Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 10 p.m. GMT is much better for me (2:00 ET zone where I'm located). What date in March? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What date in March? Hi @JackieD, you are more than welcome to organise at a later time without me if you'd like, and I'm more than happy to help you set it up. But if you are relying on me for the organisation 10PM is far too late for me even if it wasn't a work night, sorry! Next discussion: Sunday, March 13th, 7PM GMT (UK time) Topic: "Aromanticism and the LGBTQ+ Community" The usual link at meet.google.com/qum-mmnd-xkw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mx_queer_hearts Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Hi, is there any online meet happening in April? 😊 Edited March 18, 2022 by Mx_queer_hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone any suggestions of what you'd like to talk about next month? It'll be around 12noon or 1PM BST, though date tbc as yet. It goes without saying that if anyone wants to organise a similar discussion meet at another time that's suitable for other timezones that are outside what I can do then feel free (I'm more than happy to help you set it up - and it doesn't have to be a regular commitment, the more organisers the merrier as far as I'm concerned!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mx_queer_hearts Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Hi I've just realised this is the Liverpool group. I was directed to here by an admin. I'll keep any eye out on the Liverpool aces and aros page for times and links. 😊 Re setting up other meets, I'd be happy to help out from time to time for sure. 👍 Topic wise, not sure what other people have suggested but I thought it might be cool to choose a topic such as communication, boundaries and QPRs 😊! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinn Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Been thinking about topics that might be interesting. - Connection Are other people necessary to feel a sense of connection? Spiritually, emotionally, etc? Ways we connect with others and build friendships/connections outside of amatonormativity? - Ace/Aro representation in books, film, media. - Split attraction model, people who identify with it and who don't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding dates, are there any particular dates that the usuals can't do? I could do weekend 2/3 April, 9/10 April, 23/24 April. We're due to do it 1PM BST this month (we'll do evening BST in May) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
