The Manifesto 

You know who you are. 

You might feel like you're stuck between two incompatible worlds.

Maybe you've pinned down every part of your identity, and know exactly what you want out of life. Maybe you still have no clue what you want to be when you "grow up," and are working toward your goals one step at a time. Whatever nerdy thing you love, and whatever you're going through, this community was built just for you.

Here, we're kind to each other. We find new friends, and inspire our peers.

Come join our weird little group, and we'll figure it all out together, day by day.
