Reunion Thread

Hey, uh, the reunion is in 2 days, and in the past we've always had a main thread for one? I'm a little early but I just think when old CBers begin to arrive, they ought to have somewhere to go… So, um, hi! I hope it's okay I'm making this thread if I'm a current CBer, I don't know if it's usually the old CBers that do it…

Anyways, hello, everyone! For anyone who doesn't know, every February 14th we have a reunion where old CBers pop in to say hi. It's really cool to see everyone! 

For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm Periwinkle, but most people just call me Peri. I'm a current CBer, here since January 2021. I use she/her pronouns, and you'll usually catch me working on my ski-lodge, giving advice on the Confessions thread, writing about my AEs, and occasionally sharing my poetry. 

And for anyone looking for old reunion threads, here's a few. Thank you to Kitten for providing all these links last year so I only had to dig up the 2022 reunion, saved me a lot of time XD

Hi Mei! Our time on the CB didn't overlap, but I still see you as one of the CB Old Guard or whatever. That's really so awesome that you did a lot of climate activism. Doing something about climate change has been a main goal in my life for practically as long as I can remember, but I've struggled to find a way to do that that's truly impactful but also isn't something I'd totally hate. (I doubt I'd enjoy a career in, say, engineering renewable energy, or politics, and I'd like to avoid social media activism, but idk...) So if you have any advice/would like to just share more about your experiences with activism, I would appreciate that!!

Also hey, I realized I was bi over the pandemic too *fist bump*

Hii! I don't think we ever overlapped but you seem so cool :D I'm so impressed with your activism projects! Those are things I've dreamed of doing but never had the initiative to actually do.

My school is like 60% Asian so it would be pretty ridiculous if we had an AASA, but I am really looking forward to AAPIHM this year (especially now that I have social media, so I can bombard people with Asian stuff for an entire 31 days whether they like it or not). What kinds of things are y'all planning for the holiday?

Hi CBers, old and new!
I think I'm too late, though...it's been more than a week since the 14th.
I'm Avara, and my pronouns are she/her. I joined the CB in March 2022, so I'm pretty new here. I've been reading the thread, and I was so surprised to see so many old CBers! I'm really sorry I'm late.
