Busy week on the psychology front for me. I’ve a ton of meetings to do with memory and mental health, featuring different public services, some parts of which I’ll share here if I think it will help others, other parts I won’t.
I’ve revived my Manchester Psychology Social Group. If you fancy some science chat with vegan food in a non-alcohol atmosphere, come down to Hinterland in the Northern Quarter on Thursday, 6:30pm. I’ve switched days and made it a little earlier as that seemed to be the issue with attendance previously. I have loads of ideas for the group – things I want to ask people, ideas we can try, etc. etc. If you want some tasty vegan grub and engaging psychology chat, please get involved.
Valentines Day is Friday. I’m at some kind of singles mingles night. Don’t buy a hat just yet, but who knows. I’m more than likely just going to use it as an attempt to recruit people to my meetup events.
A member of Manchester Nightlife, my Meetup group, pointed me in the direction of Social MCR, an online social community that have met in person once so far. I wasn’t there at the time as I was running my own meetup, but I’m planning to join them on another outing soon. There’s an event planned at Point Blank, the shooting range on Deansgate, on 27th February. But there’ll doubtlessly be other things before then. I’d signed up through the site and was dropped into an introductory WhatsApp chat in which the rules and structure of the group were explained. Then I had the option to join different chats like Unfiltered (edgy humour), TV and Film, Event Suggestions (where we can chime in with our own ideas) Gym and Fitness and Food & Drink.
Chats have been going reasonably well on these groups, but today the organisers have decided to move the discussions over to Discord, which as I understand is kinda a blend of WhatsApp and Reddit, allowing for discussions to take place like a tree diagram, with different replies stemming off from other replies. I’m getting my head around it. There is a Bongo’s Bingo night planned but it’s already sold out.
There are other nights.
Also, on the blog: a book review, a writing exercise and a recipe review.
