shmaylorToday is our first check-in! You can check in over email, twitter message, discord message to klb or shmaylor, or on dreamwidth--whichever feels most comfortable to you. A single person can check in for the group, though if each person wants to check in individually, that’s fine too.
In addition to checking in with us, make sure you check in with your partner(s). Sharing your work-in-progress with your partner(s) is mandatory, and the minimum requirement is once per check-in. That means that, if you haven't already shared what you have so far, now is the time to do so. Partners, don’t forget to give feedback/encouragement on the work-in-progress when you see it!
Completed writing is due in 3 weeks, on July 26th. When you check in, let us know if you feel on track for that deadline so far. We'd also love to know what's going well in your group and any worries you may have about your group or your project. Comments on DW are screened.
It's very early in the game, so if you are anticipating difficulty, this would be a great time to start discussing problem-solving options. We're happy to help in any way we can to ensure you and your partner(s) have as positive an experience as possible! And if everything’s going awesome, YAY, we can’t wait to hear all about it!
P.S. While we have you here, one small announcement: as part of the effort to make pod-together a more antiracist space, we want to create a space for our community to engage in conversation about writing and performance on Discord focused around one antiracism article or post each week, so that everyone who wants to participate can read the same thing at around the same time and process it together. If you have not yet joined the Pod_Together Discord but are interested in joining to participate in these, please let us know and we would be happy to send you an invite code.
