If you’re a person who would be interested in a virtual co-working space for parents, could you kindly let me know? Thanks! (I’m thinking Discord or Gather for the platform.)
I should add: the space would be free unless the membership got so big an upgrade to the hosting would be required, in which case it would be run at cost.
Thanks to Jennifer Polk’s co-working session, I made big progress on a paper revision today. π
