Interest Group: Disability AGAIN

RantWoman is falling down on her zeal for relentless self-promotion and invitation to idiosyncratic interest groups experiences.

Here is the interest group description as returned with a request for a Zoom link:

> | Interest Group: | Disability AGAIN??? |
> | Description: | Those gathered will go where lead about the topics of
> disability, ableism, persistence.
>
> Oops. Ouch Whoa--AND DISABILITY?
>
> Spoons?
>
> Friends hosting ALL interest groups are encouraged to ask those present to
> share any accessibility needs. Hopefully this practice can become as routine
> as mention or non mention of pronouns.
>
> In the event that no one shows up, Team RantWoman will be visiting another
> Online Interest group and may or may not share all her accessibility needs until the issue comes up. 

The space was needed.

Shamelessly amplifying a good bit of the fall quarterly descriptive material.

Theme Summary

Plenary Recording

Practical Peacemaking

As we travel to Lazy F, we will pass by people we don't quite agree with. If "there is that of God in everyone", these people are our neighbors too. How do we make peace with -- or even just talk with -- all our neighbors, not just the ones with whom we have easily-found common ground? Perhaps you have challenging relationships with family or co-workers or childhood friends with whom you disagree on closely held beliefs. Our hope for this session is that we will learn more about how to encounter ALL our neighbors with love, and build bridges where all we can see now are rifts. For some of us, this may be a new experience. For some of us, it is daily life.

We will hear from our F/friends living across the Quarterly Meeting about how they practice day-to-day peacemaking, no matter where they live or who they meet. Let us learn from one another.

HOSTED BY EASTSIDE AND SOUTH SEATTLE MEETINGS

PNQM Fall Quarterly Meeting September 23-25, 2022

The flyer has 3 lovely pictures, two of car bumpers each plastered with a different but sort of predictable combination of bumper stickers and a third one of a road straight down the middle of some flat dryland with low shrubbery on the side. RantWoman has enough eyes to tell this with magnification. 

On Planet RantWoman with RantWoman's screen reader, these pictures sound like "unlabelled graphic unlabeled graphic photocredit.

RantWoman is not going to spend more time adding the images here.

Queries the panel responded to:

1- How are you practicing peace-making in these divisive times?

2-How does your non-Quaker community - neighbors, friends, workplace,

extended family - and their political leanings inform these choices?

3-  What would you like to share with Quakers who are living in a different

political environment?

RantWoman feels vaguely responsible for not sending out suggested worship group queries until after she herself had registered. The worship group RantWoman was in was well-held regardless.
