This Is Where The Hope Is
Ice on the ground. A hard, bright moon. Deer balancing on snow to reach cedar. The air feels tense. Stories of missing mothers. Big voices tossing around power like it’s abstract, like it doesn’t land on real people. The snake is shedding its skin.... - Benzi...
A message I wrote to Joshua Zader about my experience of circling one month before I fell in love with my community in September 2023

I'm in Austin TX so I'm lucky that we have the Alamo Drafthouse, which doesn't do the insane ad thing, and instead has really clever, original content related to whatever movie you're about to watch.... - on“Noospheric bioregioning” — roots down, branches and leaves up. Bioregionality is an important piece of the puzzle, but I have also heard leaders like Joe Brewer argue that culture is only a subset of biology. It isn’t. How else to account for the “networked” aspect which is so clearly happening? How else would I be able to listen to a Joe Brewer podcast when I don’t live in the same bioregion?

You gathered weekly, whether or not you felt like it, with people of every age you did not choose, around something larger than your own... How do we fix the loneliness epidemic?: The Story
The Tuesday with no one in it A fifty-eight-year-old in Ohio wakes, makes coffee, works through a screen, has dinner left at the door, scrolls until midnight, sleeps. He has done nothing wrong. He isn’t poor or sick or unkind.... - EricAdam...
At the same time, a few of us seem to be holding deep grief and anger about where America is headed and our vision of neighborly goodness might be a counterreaction... seeking evidence that our ideals survive. Both are true.... I agree, the narratives we feed ourselves via the media, including social media, overrepresent the negative and under-represent all the wonderfulness.... I hadn’t considered this before, having grown up after microwaves were ubiquitous, but it makes so much sense. has me wonder what other technologies we think are helpful but actually arent.... Hello everyone! I am in North Carolina and I am excited to learn more about this platform. It certainly described the struggles. I've been having with other platforms regarding not understanding what's going on in our world today so I thought I would check it out and hopefully... - Derek...
