for what it’s worth we have quite a few communities in dire need of some love and posters willing to give them some life–betterment and praxis was a good idea for example that’s unfortunately not been able to sustain itself recently

Cooking! I’ve tried to post in that community a couple times with a bit of success. I’m going to commit to posting more though. But you’re so right. I love people nerding out over the niche things they love. Thanks for the encouraging post!

We have a literature community, but I would love a weekly “what are you reading?” or similar thread. I love seeing what other people are reading and sometimes find new books in those types of threads. Mostly I just want to talk about books, ha ha!

Decades ago, I discovered that there are 4 dimensions that need to be covered, in balance, in community news:

• the Strategic issues, 7+y as a rough guideline, for significance
• the Tactical issues, 1-3y as a rough guideline
• the little Pervasive annoyances that never get given a headline, but are a “tax” on people’s wellbeing
• Grow The Good!! community, culture, accomplishments, anchoring people’s hope, humanity, validity, etc.

Leaving-out any 1 of those 4 dimensions has long-term costs.

this is just what one autist discovered, it doesn’t mean you have to think there’s any validity in the concept.

Wildlife and other animals, dog training, plants and garden design! Gardening wise I’m very into permaculture and agroforestry in particular, but always down for any plant talk. And if your dog training style is based on mutual respect and a lack of force we’re already friends!

I’ve really been enjoying the game discussion threads in the gaming community!
