@gilmae Claim the spot and check a day or two ahead of time. You can always relinquish if there is a waitlist. (If it’s the one on Tuesday, men are very much welcome. Don’t hesitate at all!)


@gilmae Ah, yeah, for that one I’m sure @lucykbain would be very appreciative if you give it up if there’s a waiting list. But there might not be!


@koningwoning I’m literally not sure if you’re talking about “crafting” or “making” being a definition that’s been around for ages. I’m arguing that crafting has been around for ages, and it’s well wide enough to fit everything else in. 🙂

@NicoleADonnelly Oh no. What happened?


@NicoleADonnelly Ugh, that sucks. Sadly, the only thing that we’ve found that works in Sydney is charging $10. That takes us to 90% attendance, but it does introduce a barrier for some folks. 🙁


@gilmae WAIT A SEC. It *is* on there. It’s the GGD event. So pbbbbbttttttt. 😝


@gilmae Yeah, that’s weird. Google Calendar shows like 15 events that day. https://t.co/4FACgEZ1py


Blog post: Viral. The past 72 hours on Twitter have been pretty weird for me, to say the least. https://t.co/QNBhd14MRS

Yay for my old @canva colleagues Shipra and @jeamesbone! https://t.co/mvsgVHxFz9


@anotherclive @DarrinLRogers @RoseRed_Shoes It’s not clear to me at all that it’s useful. I’m already a crafter who uses textiles, code, and electronics. The only thing calling myself a maker does is signify that I’m aligning myself with a brand and distancing myself from tradition.


I went by today and someone had turned it around backwards. 😂 https://t.co/R6P3FxiQOo

@salcedony I’m so sorry no one ever told you that before. You have valuable technical skills. You do.


How Nick Offerman Is Using Woodworking to Help Americans in Need https://t.co/bRHrCfQV6i via @menshealthmag // Best quote: “the world of craftsmanship doesn’t fall into neatly drawn gender lines.” (No mention of “makers.” Ahem.)


@svthmc @NicoleADonnelly Sadly, the only thing I’ve found that works consistently is charging some nominal amount.


@sassypants81 😡


Really looking forward to the @Data61news #D61wit event tonight! If you missed out on a ticket, you can watch on the livestream. https://t.co/1IFQseNQ9g


If you want to see @mipsytipsy in Sydney next week, you’ve got two options: Monday night with @SydTechLeaders (https://t.co/zZavRUboqk) or Tuesday night with @GGDSydney @WWCSyd @yow_conf (https://t.co/SB7iuoWuGZ)
