Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Inspiring community moments and books

[Tara Gallen (tarabytransit]

**Moments**
-In a low case count moment, we gathered at Alistair and Christine's place
for a community Thanksgiving (in October - we're in Canada!)
-My in-laws are currently staying in a cohouser's apartment while she's on
vacation elsewhere. For six weeks. It's amazing!!
-Rebuilding our marketing to find out last four cohousers -- with a crack
team of amazing neighbours with web and marketing and communications minds.
It's tough to get people with housing prices as they are, but we are so
glad to have welcomed Carol from Toronto to the fold.

**Books(-ish)**
-Textbook: The BC CDC COVID-19 Language Guide. It's actually a guide to
talking about many, many more topics than just the pandemic in a modern,
thoughtful and considerate way. Age and ability; race, ethnicity, and
cultural identity; sex, gender, and sexual identity; and so much more.

-Book: Ijeoma Oluo - So You Want to Talk About Race (on audiobook - bulk
purchased by the Vancouver Public Library)
-Podcast: Gastropod - A podcast about food from the perspective of side of
history and science. https://gastropod.com/ or wherever you get your
podcasts.
