Mittens 2025 - pre planning

I will not visit the US under its current regime. I would be OK with Canada.

I came back to say I can't responsibly support having it in the US anymore.

I am really scared right now.

Toronto is just a four hour train journey for me, so can easily attend there. If we chose elsewhere in Canada, it would likely be fine for airfare. We'll see what happens in the near future with souring partnerships

I just want to note that at least for this year and my current near-future I am not in a position to organize anything officially, but can help research.

There isn't a lot of comfort I can offer other than sending best wishes and hopes. Things are fucked.

Is anyone still interested in this, or have we given up? It does look like I will only be able to take vacation in July, so between me and AGA/Tampie that limits it to the week of 21. July.

We've now arranged another summer holiday, on the assumption this wasn't going to happen.

I'm back in Tokyo for a few months if someone wants to do a Hello Kittens in lieu of a proper Japanese Mittens

Welcome back, man. How long are you back for?

Until the end of June at the moment, then back again sometime after

Yeah, I figured. Maybe next year!

I would very much like to keep this going, so hoping for next year as well.

Between being a witness in a court case that is recently open and can be scheduled for trial or settled at any moment, as well as the constant fear of political violence erupting in the States, this was just not the year that I could take a lead in organization.

These Mittens meetups mean quite a lot to me. From early childhood into young adulthood I struggled socially and could barely keep friends for more than a year or so. Going to my first Mittens twenty years ago this August opened up something in me and created lasting friends with a group that I immediately felt at home with from the beginning despite being strangers from several countries. It was and still remains one of the highlights of each year I have attended <3
