@ngerakines.me did some really cool stuff this year! We met because of community organizing, so watching this take off has been really special. Super proud of you, Nick! 🔥
🎉 One year ago today, we launched Smoke Signal! What started as an idea has become a growing community of event organizers and attendees. This milestone belongs to all of you who believed in decentralized events from day one.

An emotional “it takes a village” tour by @rudyfraser.com at #ATmosphereConf. It’s a long list, and a lot of people are on it. #BlackSky is what it is because of mutual aid and mutual values. It’s a conduit of people and practices.
