People who gather in small groups online, in Zoom calls, to get support and friendship. There is supervisor who helps them learn how to do the Zoom calls and is also there for each gathering. There is a commonality to the groups; in some cases everyone is a senior citizen. or maybe all female.
She wasn't sure how she'd like being on online meetings with people she had never met; but she kept working with the supervisor to learn how to do it. Would they like each other? After several meetings, she looked forward to her weekly meetings with them. They had bonded, and Online Zoomies seemed a fun & pleasant name for them.

Get the Online Zoomiesmug. Lightling is the name of a character formed by photographing traffic lights, headlights, street lights, neon lights, or other lights, in the rain and usually night. They appear sometimes tiny, unformed, deformed or otherwise different that what they actually were. These lights often are anthropomorphic, seeming to take on facial expressions, interpreted differently by viewers, but fun and interesting. Unless the photographer what the Lightlings really are, people are not likely to know.
The photographer was taking Raintings of many kinds of lights through her rain-covered windshield. When she looked closely at some of them, many of the lights appeared to have human expressions. It was fun to see them and to know what they were in real life. She saw anger, smiles, doubt, all manner of expressions. One of her images had a lot of them gathered under a tree. Whether they were a new type of cartoon character or not, she felt they needed a name, hence Lightling.
