This is a special post for quick takes by Willa. Only they can create top-level comments. Comments here also appear on the Quick Takes page and All Posts page.
My fingers are slow and inflexible as I type this, because I just spent nearly the entire day outside (excepting indoor workshops) late into the night here at the retreat (it's cold at night in Berkeley): attending workshops, talking with other organizers, and having the kinds of amazing late night conversations I expected would occur here (they are even better than I predicted).
My shortforms during the retreat will be very short. I am spending almost every waking moment engaged in good discussions & conversations with fellow organizers here, and I am loving those experiences! I've been taking notes (as have others), so after the retreat is when I'll do some retrospectives or insights learned types of posts.
