Today was scheduled to be the day of our migration to Slack. Well there was some pushback from the team and this has now been delayed indefinitely. So this puzzle is a celebration of staying on Disco rd!

Rules: Shade some cells to form a single connected area of shaded cells. Each region must contain exactly two separate sections of the single connected area. No 2x2 area can be entirely shaded.

This puzzle comes with a little GAPP 101: You cannot have a shaded cell/section in a region that touches every other cell in the region - if this were the case then there would be no way to fit two separate shaded sections in the region!
