Welcome to the Guide Doc for the
Still Coviding Weekly Hangout
Started Jan 2023 and happened weekly on Saturdays through Nov 2024
For those who missed the announcement during our 10/26, 11/2, and 11/9 hangouts, and who are visiting this page looking for the weekly covidisntover hangout details, I wanted to share that we’ve made the difficult decision to bring the hangouts to an end.
The past several months have been really challenging and painful, behind the scenes. What started as seemingly small conflicts snowballed into a bigger and more harmful pattern that heavily escalated when addressed. It became a cycle that none of us could manage together, and further attempts to address it only led to more harm, leaving many feeling increasingly drained and unsafe. Unfortunately, heartbreakingly, in the end, what made this decision necessary was not only the profound misalignment in values, priorities, and realities but also the impact of ongoing abuse that made reconciliation impossible.
Although the hangouts have ended, the community calendar, bulletin board, and resource doc will still be available as resources, as well as information being shared on the covidisntover social media pages. I hope covidisntover continues to serve as a bridge to information, events, and support - as was what was always at the heart of this. The Centering Palestine accessible action event (weekly, Tuesdays @ 8PM ET) will also continue uninterrupted.
I dreamed this space into being because I couldn’t find anything like it—a place that was truly supportive, and centered on our shared intersectional & anti-oppression based values, where we could talk “face to face” (in a covid safe way!) about all kinds of different things. It’s been so meaningful to see this community grow, to witness the care and connection everyone brought. Thank you for being part of this journey over the last twenty-two months, and for all the care you contributed to the space. I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who helped build and nurture this space through your participation, and I’ll always hold that close, I hope you may too. I know this space has been important and impactful to so many, and I honor the connections, support, and shared experiences we built together.
In gratitude & grief,
Willow
there are many different still coviding spaces/groups are held by different covid-aware people, this hangout & other @covidisntover offerings are/were not affiliated with any specific facebook, discord groups, or other events (with the exception of Centering Palestine)
