10/18/21 notes, Delfine and Tri
- what are people's learning edges?
- intimidation internalized of not knowing enough, even when invited to ask for clarity around unlearned terms
- on Discord
- parasocial relationship and community building, as a side take
- influencers with Discords e.g., Discord
- can be used for venting, but become very toxic
- Delfine's partner games a lot, is in channels
- on Gather
- fun to interface with, people move around on their own
- limiting, can't see the chats afterwards once you log out
- Discord better for this, since it saves media
- smaller gatherings with groups is good, easier to be interpersonal and social with
- yet, unsure if fully conveying one's personality across
- haven't met everyone during Rad Cafe time, would feel more human to make name-to-face connections
- on 1:1's with Tri, very good for deeper talks
- Lettucemeet and when2meet over Doodle Poll
- People would've wanted to meet more:
- HC, Shan, Chris,
- Christian
- Delfine feels both intimated and supported by re botany knowledge, self-aware
- May, works in non-profits
- for mixed White members, didn't get to talk about that further
- having a lot of privilege in being mixed with whiteness
- room for dialogical space
- "Monoracism", Gurrero [last name?]
- stages of being mixed race, tended to define self as one race or many
- ex. Delfine goes back to Lao, would be seen as White, yet both
- perceived race and nominal race
- Affinity-based Gather-ings?
- Race, plants, queerness, governance
- get more specific than TCs broad themes
- Becomes the post-program "cultural organizing" element that sells Rad Cafe to SEAD stakeholders
- who will facilitate? rotation of facilitators? how to compensate people, or volunteer?
- perhaps use New City Life together models, people can pick their groups for ongoing thing
- After Rad Cafe, private to Rad Cafe members? What conditions would make it ok to make it public to non-Rad Cafe people?
- e.g. Delfine speaking to her non-profit facilitating for Black youths, how much to open to non-Black peoples, mitigating harm
- strong, recurring, pliable community agreements that strongly encourage self- and other-awareness

Religion in Vietnam before it's "fall" to communism.
Look for more modern impacts of buddhism and religion within the communist countries.
