firm handshake and a question about the building

connections are formed through common experiences. if you're having an issue with the laundry or missing packages or a weird message from the landlord, knock on a neighbor's door, introduce yourself with a handshake so they know it's business, and ask your question. if the conversation goes somewhere fun, congrats, you've made a friend. regardless, get their number at the end to build your network of neighbors who help each other out.

chatting With neighbors, bringing a baked good when someone moves in, bringing in the trash bins, lemonade for the plumber, actually introducing yourself & making an effort to remember details

Visiting neighbors

something i like doing when feeling like changing my routine is visiting/chatting with neighbors spontaneously, even though we are NOT on the same wavelengths

unplatform - a guide for leaving social media

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post. it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library. additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!

unalive

it’s so bad that discourse about it being bad is kind of played out now but it bears repeating how fucking bad it is
