October 8th, 2026 – “When Shit Gets Real: Abuse, Escape, and Advocacy”

Hello Hackers!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so this meeting’s topic may be uncomfortable for some. If you need to sit this one out, we’ll hopefully see you again in November. Take care of yourselves.

This month we are joined again by floofinfried, who will be presenting their talk “When Shit Gets Real: Abuse, Escape, and Advocacy”:

In this talk, we’ll go over abusive situations, how to spot them, how to help people escape, and how best to support a victim’s recovery process.

Bio: Floof has seen some shit. They try to use it for good.

Meeting will be on Discord. If you need an invite, look no further.

Talk starts at 6:12 PM U.S. Central, but feel free to hop in early and chat.
