Social Life

A 3-post collection

Saturday, Parkrun, Democracy, and Social Shenanigans

Saturday, I have a social life now

WHat?

Social life?

Me?

Yeah apparently I do.

We took KIABIL for the Parkrun and he did the whole 5K straight out of the box! Holy shit. Thereafter, we went to a Nerd Bar called Netherworld.

Yes, there are Nerd Bars. Yes, they have a lot of games and that includes game machines. They also have an overall atmosphere of inclusivity that makes the whole place pleasant to be in.

Translation: TERFs Not Allowed.

It's a nice place. But it also sucked
