Planning to hold another Zoom mixer. The last one was a while back. Please respond or dm if interested - looking at time zones (I’m pst) and a date that would work for most people. Last time it was for singles but I think a mixer where everyone on this bowl and friends are invited.

Please, no more virtual “happy hours” after 5 p.m. There’s nothin’ happy about it when we’re at home, reaching into our own fridges, forcing conversation on Zoom, and wishing we were outside doing real-life stuff. We’re no longer as desperate for connection; we’re virtually burned out.

I have a coworker who is usually extremely active on slack and who has all but dropped off recently. They respond to emails at a much slower rate and their replies are shorter. They used to be the fun of the group, but on both group and 1:1 communications they seem very different. I am worried about them/their mental state but I don't know how to reach out. I know they live alone/don't have much family and I realize depression is a really big problem right now.
