Thankfully, there are many resources available to people who are Transgender* throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. However, there is relatively little support is in place for partners--and ex-partners--of people who are transgender or gender variant. The purpose of this group is to provide an environment of mutual support for partners of Trans people who might feel left behind or in some way require emotional support--just as Trans folks do! Partners have genders, too and we are her …

Usually, work is followed by coffee and chat. Great way to stay fit and enjoy the outdoors and good company while …

There are several Meetup book clubs in the East Bay, but many of them are specialized (e.g., women-only, we only read such-and-such books, etc.), or their meetings fill to capacity so fast that I never get a chance to rsvp - so I decided to start this one. I previously participated in a fantastic book club in Chicago, which gave me the opportunity to read some great books that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I hope to continue that trend here! This is a mixed-gender book club for anyon …

Every time I go to the local coffee shops during the weekday, I notice how almost everyone is staring at their computer screen rather than socializing. The idea here is to change that. I've noticed a lot of people work from home in this part of the East Bay and thought it would be nice to organize the occasional meetup at a local coffee shop to take a break from the screen and meet some new people in the neighborhood.

This Meetup is inspired by the creator of the Coursera Cafe, Belinda Beasley, for her Facebook group for us fellow Courserans: "This is a place for Courserans to get some downtime from studying, discuss Coursera in a general way and chat about things which are not relevant on the study groups. It is also a place for friends to have fun. Anyone can add other Courserans so please invite anyone who you feel should be here. We would ask that you please invite only people who you already know. Apart …

I've been studying Esperanto for a while and would like to find other people who are interested in studying together on a weekly basis. I've already used Esperanto while traveling, including an intensive language course in Europe. I plan to use it on my next trips as well. If you are new to Esperanto, check out my blog post on how to learn Esperanto. I can teach you what I already know, and we can go from there. We'll try to get some fluent speakers to help out when possible. All levels are welc …
