Unhurried Conversations - Saturday

Bring yourself along, we explain how it works.

The Psychology of Friendships

I’ve been thinking a lot about friendships and how our lives can thrive in non-romantic and platonic relationships. I’ve benefited a lot from my friendships and I have all types from close knit to casual. Please listen or read the transcript to the following podcast: **‘Why Friendships Matter More Than We Think’** (20mins) ***https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/podcasts/item/why_friendships_matter_more_than_we_think*** In a world that emphasizes romantic relationships, we explore the science of friendships in humans and our primate relatives— how we make them and how they not only influence health and happiness, but our survival. Episode Summary: Romantic love gets plenty of attention, but what about the friendships that sustain us through life’s ups and downs? In this episode, we explore the science and significance of deep friendships, how they contribute to our mental and emotional health, and why they deserve just as much care as romantic relationships. We also discuss practical ways to strengthen friendships and rethink how we define meaningful connections. **TRANSCRIPT** Scroll a bit down the webpage.

End-of-Year Social RSVP on Luma

​**No talks. No slides. Just dinner, drinks and a good WordPress chat.** ​**Let's finish 2026 without another slide deck.** Note: RSVP on Luma at https://luma.com/6p2mh2wb not on meetup. Date has been changed to Wed Nov 18th. ​I'm getting a small group of the WordPress Sydney community together at BrewDog South Eveleigh for an informal end-of-year catch-up. ​No presentations. No agenda. No pitches. Just a table of WordPress people having dinner, grabbing a drink and talking about websites, clients, freelancing, business, WordPress, or whatever else comes up. ​Come along to catch up with people you already know, meet a few people you don't, and unwind after another year working on the web. ​Registration is free. Everyone simply buys their own food and drinks on the night. ​**I'm keeping this one deliberately small. Only 15 places are available, so please register only if you're reasonably confident you can make it.** ​If plans change, please cancel your registration so somebody on the waitlist can take your place.

SSP WED - Northside Photography Chat

Meet for chat over a drink and snack or dinner. Tonight, if you are in the mood, we can discuss camera setup, technique, editing images or photo critique. If you wish to discuss any aspects of your camera or photography technique, please bring the manual and your camera. You may bring your laptop with your editing software installed & I will bring a laptop with Lightroom Classic installed. We can discuss any aspect of editing your images. Most image editors are similar, so even if using a different editor, the techniques are similar, mainly due to the menu system. Feel free to bring image(s) on a usb stick, SD, microSD memory card or an iPhone that supports Airdrop. Using Lightroom we can work on extracting the story of the image. If you want photo critique, pls bring print, or full size images, preferably not resized, on a usb stick, SD, microSD memory card or an iPhone that supports Airdrop. Please do not ask for a critique on images displayed on a mobile phone, too small a display to be critical. More info on the venue here chatswoodrsl.com.au Plenty of free parking available nearby as well as the bus stop at the door or metro & rail just 50m away.
