The February meetup will be on Saturday, February 11, 2:00-5:00 PM Pacific Time. Please note that this is a change from our usual scheduled date (which would have been Sunday the 12th).

We hold our online meetups in a Jitsi chat room. The service is similar to Zoom with video and text chat. No account is required. No download is required if you use a web browser; Android and iOS apps are available if desired. Sharing video is not required. Joining the voice chat is also not required, but is recommended as it is where most of the action is.

You don't need to live in the San Francisco Bay area to attend! We welcome visitors, just as we would at physical meetups.

RSVP by commenting on this post or sending me a PM and I will send you the room details and password.

(If you are wondering what Discord is, it's basically the group chat platform all the kids are into these days. Vaguely like IRC in some respects, but not. See https://discordapp.com/. You can either download a client, or use it in a browser.)

A fae friend of mine on Tumblr (wait! come back! they're not that kind of tumblr-folk), after being dissatisfied with the Otherkin.net Discord and a fae-kin server run by Alynna, decided with some trepidation to start their own, called Mythcord, and asked for signal boosts. Here's their pitch:

This server is primarily meant for older/adult otherkin with mythical kintypes and therians. 18+ age only, although it’s not going to be a lewd place, I would much rather discuss such things with adults. Heavier on the introspection and critical thinking, reasonably light on the memes and lolrandomtaco-ness.

Other kintypes aren’t forbidden by any means, and I know plenty of people have more than one, so I leave it up to you to decide if this sounds like a space you’d fit into.

There is a 10-minute security lockout to prevent griefers, but you’ll at least be able to read the public channels. After that time, just introduce yourself, and you’ll be assigned the member role as soon as possible which will let you into the rest of the server.

(O, that I could clean up the tagset in this community. Alas, I do not own it.)
