The link for Gather town (our meet up hall) wasn't updated. I did so now. See as well: https://app.gather.town/app/Yhi4XYj0zFNWuUNv/EA%20coworking%20and%20lounge?spawnToken=6DRLsIP5Gp1C30RP

Sorry, I was way, way off. Oh well. Please just check date converted to your time zone with that link: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Online%20Working%20%2F%20Community%20Meetup%20for%20the%20Abolition%20of%20Suffering&iso=20240406T07&p1=1440&ah=1&am=30 (It only works if your browser has access to your location.)

Hi everyone, again I want to cultivate the habit of using the commenting function (here in the EA Forum, in FB and in Discord) as a motivating accountability tool for sharing what one is working on/ planning to share at the event.

For me, I might talk a little bit about the "Wild Animals in Urban Spaces: How Cities Can Promote Wild Animal Welfare in the Built Environment" talk, and share about my increased engagement in EA Munich and the potentials. Looking forward to seeing you all in about 10,5 hours (if I counted correctly)

We start in 4 hours :)

I'm sorry I messed up the time! We start in 35 min!

Hi everyone,

I will be sharing insights from the IARC2023, where I gave a workshop and attended a bunch of stuff. Looking forward to hearing from everyone again :)
