0:00 Welcome to Anna in the air the library and around Baltimore your daily podcast briefing of all the goings-ons in the rounds
0:07 arts and ideas at very school, so
0:11 Today a little bit of a cold day, so I'm actually
0:17 recording from inside for the first time I was going to record out under the
0:23 porch chicken yard
0:26 but it was pretty windy, so
0:29 Didn't feel quite stable setting up anyway
0:32 Today was another
0:34 Seemingly calm day. We did manage to have one JC case about people keeping their distance
0:41 Namely they weren't keeping their distance
0:44 So we had that
0:46 So I had article club was on the tragedy of droids and the Star Wars universe
0:50 That's a pretty good conversation. We touched on a lot of different topics
0:56 Including what is like freewheel and sentience and
1:00 as well as the implications of how the droids are treated and that universe as well as
1:08 Compares with other sci-fi universes and also how it compares with other people
1:14 Tonight we're having the
1:19 Assembly meeting at 7 p.m.. I hope you all can join us
1:25 we'll be discussing a current situation and
1:29 Transitioning to online as per our current policy
1:34 So assuming nothing changes tomorrow will be our last in-person day, and then we will
1:43 Be fully online for until the numbers come down, so that's exciting
1:55 So next week if we are fully online we'll still have mandatory announcements at
2:01 1105 in the morning on discord and
2:06 We'll also have school meeting we probably won't have JC because JC seems to be really just something we need in person
2:14 But you know if something happens certainly is it I'm also hoping to have a start role-playing
2:20 Next week, so if you're interested
2:24 Message me on discord and
2:26 Well I guess we'll see what else might be happening next week. Oh, we're also gonna continue with article Club. Yeah, so Thursday's at 1 p.m.. And
2:37 I don't think we've chosen an article, but hopefully that'll be posted on discord soon
2:44 And I think that's all I can think about that so it is a tip of the week Thursday, so here's my tip
2:52 In a pandemic when everyone stops panicking. That's when you should panic
2:56 Right now the numbers are pretty high so now's a good time to play it cool
3:03 wear your masks keep your distance and
3:06 Hopefully we'll all be safe and sound so have a good one and talk to you all later
