In just over an hour, it will be time to chill… and chat! Come hang out with the @othersidespec.bsky.social co-founders, ask us about our big plans for 2026, yell excitedly with us about this past week, say hi to my dogs when they inevitably interrupt, or all of the above! Hope to see you soon! 🪐🗡️🌈
