What began as a gathering of fans of musician Jonathan Coulton has coalesced into something much harder to categorize: part music festival, part convention, part reunion, part homecoming with people you haven’t even met yet! We hope to meet you soon on the Nerd Boat! #jococruise

i have recently been informed that this is literally a thing on @jococruise.bsky.social

oh my god 😭

At the risk of sounding like an advert, part of why I keep going back to @jococruise.bsky.social is a concentration of people going absolutely nuts for topics I never knew about Even if I don't "get" that particular interest, the autist in me recognizes the autist in you, and that makes me happy

We'll be back in Half Moon Cay for JoCo Cruise 2027! Join us: jococruise.com

Send this to someone you want to cruise with 😅🧑‍⚕️ . #jococruise #cruise #vacation #cozy #geek

I have been extremely lucky to attend @jococruise.bsky.social , @sizecon.bsky.social , and now #colossalcon, and if you want to see what joy looks like when a community can live their true selves without fear and just be excellent to each other you should attend one/all of these. #HappinessIs
