#icebreaker — Public Fediverse posts

Hello again! Our second in-person #Neurodivergent Social Connection was once again a success at Jubilee Park in #downtownabbotsford, so we will be continuing to meet there for the rest of #summer! Meet us at 2PM on the last #Wednesday of the month at #JubileePark in #Abbotsford, near the #pickleball court. Please bring seating such as a lawn chair or picnic blanket. We will be having a #potluck style meetup, so please bring any #food you would like the share. The group will start with everyone introducing theirselves with their name, #pronouns and an #icebreaker, then everyone will split into smaller groups to ease the social #anxiety. For those who want #icecream, please bring money for Banter ice cream. These events will be leading into Yoga in the #Park, so please bring a #Yoga Mat if you plan to stay after 6 PM. Group age limit: 19+

#US to lose ground in #Antarctica after pulling out last research #ship, scientists say
#Scientists said the loss hinders their work and diminishes America’s leading presence on the continent. The #NSF said it continues to support Antarctic research.
U.S. Antarctic Program has had at least one dedicated research vessel in the #SouthernOcean for almost six decades.
NSF said in its 2026 budget request it would terminate lease of Palmer #icebreaker.
