My goat figured out how to climb the stairs so now he has to start transitioning to big boy outside goat life. I love him but I don’t want him climbing up to our bed and making my life smell like goat.
This absolutely fits. Creating a safe space and a sense of community amongst friends (and beyond!) is exactly what we want more of. That is such a beautiful goal to work towards and it sounds like you’re friends are feeling the love and support ❤️
Yeah for me personally betterment would be self reflection and acceptance leading to the kind of stability/confidence needed to better support your community. For some people it might be getting to a place where they feel healthy enough physically to spare some energy for more community work. It’s a spectrum and in today’s world I think finding yourself and finding that contentment in life is a massive task. Consumer culture and spcial media scream individualism, it’s hard to break back into a more collective mindset.
Congratulations 🎊
I’ve always wanted to try weaving 🥰 please post your projects and your process in the creative community so I can live through you 😂
Yeaah it sounds like it’s ended up as the same kind of thing. I’ve heard the book ones are tricky as it’s hard to get a popular range that doesn’t fade into less popular, stagnant books.
Were people using the food? How was the range?
I love your use of colours. Who did you learn what woukd work for the shadows and highlights? How do you come up with a palette?
Please come fill Betterment with positive mutual aid/community related news to the point we need a whole new Good News sub 😂🙏
This looks so tidy. Great work!
Best of luck on your interview and I hope you get some rest
This is great! Thanks for sharing 😊 i love clotheshorse podcast. They have a very informative instagram as well.
Seeing human rights being brushed off as just an opinion is brutal, I hate remembering that there are people out there that are so full of hate. But! I have seen nothing but people pushing back against that kind of thinking as well as moderation and comment removals when things get to be too much or unproductive. I think while this is a safe space, it’s not a sanitised space in that there will occasionally be some people asking questions in good faith and unfortunately a few in bad faith. To me, it’s worth having a little bit of flexibility for people to ask questions in good faith so they might be positively influenced. Trouble makers will get removed or leave on their own (like the user linked in your post) over time.
Thats not to say i think you should be subjected to comments that make you uncomfortable its just that unfortunately I don’t think it’s possible to have a online community that will meet everyone’s standards of safe 😕
I see a thread of people shitting on an asshole calling human rights an opinion? It looks like he has 2/3 upvotes but if there was a downvote button i guarantee their comments would be in the negatives. It doesn’t look like a debate to me but people telling someone that it’s not a debate and if they think it is one they can go elsewhere. I guess the whole conversation could be removed but i think having one so full of support for transrights being human rights is good for other readers to see. If they agree with the asshole, they’ll know their “opinions” aren’t welcomed or supported here.
“Through this research, kids told us that it was important for Furby to be their ultimate best friend – a furry companion to do all the things a BFF would do, like dance to music, share fortunes, meditate, mimic each other in silly voices, and even put on a light show, and that’s exactly what we created.”
I love picturing small children setting up elaborate light shows for their best friends
That’s a really rough spot to be in 😕 I hope you can find a sense of community and can pass your drivers course quickly.
Ooof that’s valid. Do you have a local community garden or theatre group? There will be supportive people hiding out in your community somewhere and I feel like those two things attract some fun, kind people.
While the results are obvious to most people, it’s important to do these sorts of studies and articles so people have somewhere to point when developers are pushing for more car centric infrastructure.
I live rurally now but I lived in a big city when I was younger and yeah I felt like a cog in a machine in the best way? It felt much more communal than my small community now so I think I’ve really been chasing that feeling. I think when we are physically more isolated it becomes easier to mentally isolate, especially when a lot of people are having to commute for work and coming home too exhausted for socialising. I really want a more robust public transport system as I think it encourages a connection between regular riders.
this sounds like the dream! Free pots but also keeping waste out of the landfill.
