First De-Shittification Society meeting was a big success. Come join us *this* Saturday.

We had a dozen people, of all different backgrounds. It's going to be a regular 11 a.m. Saturday morning thing. Come meet at the Pressed Coffee/Book shop in downtown Lakeland.

See you Saturday at 11 a.m., at Downtown Lakeland’s Pressed book store/coffee shop.

Last Saturday’s first ever meeting of the Public Enemy Number 1, Rick Rousos Memorial De-Shittification Society went really well. We had a dozen people, which was somewhat larger than the seating space really allowed for easily. And that’s good.

We talked about each other’s backgrounds and interests, civic life, creativity and art, and a little bit of politics (but not that much). It was a warm and upbeat bunch — as De-shittifiers must be.

A number of folks have expressed interest in coming, but had conflicts or other impediments.

So I think for the next two weeks at least, we’ll keep the same place and time. Think of it as Billy convening De-Shittification office hours.

By that time, hopefully we’ll have a sense of what a core group looks like and move on from there. We may relocate outside or to another venue if it makes it easier to chat. And eventually, I’d love for us to do active things — hikes, or service, or action, etc.

But for now, we’re just building community. And a regular time and place is helpful. So come take part. Any would-be de-shittifier is welcome.
