Welcome to this week's salon post!

Comments are welcome whenever you get a chance - even if that's hours or days later. Feel free to jump into whatever sub-threads intrigue you. More discussion is the point of the salon posts!
Got a question you're trying to sort out, or a thing you'd like to discuss? Lots of thoughtful interesting people with a wide range of interests show up here! Feel free to ask about things you're thinking about or trying to solve, as well as other kinds of chat.
Topic of the week
I've been thinking a lot about being hospitable to people (because I have current Seekers doing classes which meet at my home for my particular witchcraft tradition, who may turn into longer-term students.)
In that kind of setting, what makes you feel welcome? What kinds of things around food and drink work for you? (We're currently at 'feel free to bring things, I have water and a wide variety of tea.' because I'm already spending time prepping for and doing the teaching part, and food is complex in these situations.)
But I'm curious what you'd find interesting or useful or helpful in similar settings (i.e. someone hosting, whether that's friendship/social stuff or something like this which is a slightly different equation.)
What I've been up to:
The religious holidays this week (barring the full moon tomorrow) are not my holidays, but if they're yours, I hope they're meaningful and go well, in whatever ways that matters for you.
It has been a not-fabulous brain week, and I'm about to hit a busy stretch at work (Shifting one of the sites we manage over to a new structure! Major catalog updates!) I have just finished the Donna season of Doctor Who, and am getting through podcasts at a greater rate (thanks to the catalog work)
House rules:
This is a public post, feel free to encourage other people to drop by, just note the 'if posting anonymously, include a name people can call you in responses' rule.
* Consider this a conversation in my living room, only with a lot more seating. I reserve the right to redirect, screen, and otherwise moderate stuff, but would vastly prefer not to have to.
* If you don't have a DW account or want to post anonymously, please include a name we can call you in this particular post. (You can say AnonymousOne or your favourite colour or whatever. Just something to help keep conversations clear.)
* If you've got a question or concern, feel free to PM me.

I actually have a whole page of accessibility notes up on the group site, which anyone who gets to the point of doing stuff in my home has had a chance to read (they're asked to read it along with the other material before writing the letter of introduction).
That's because I know there's some stuff in there that might be a dealbreaker for some people (I'm down a half flight of stairs, the bathroom's too small for most mobility devices, I can't accommodate service dogs in my home) and also because if there is stuff we can negotiate, I want people to know the range of options or things that might be issues.
