even if you don’t end up talking to anybody, just try to be observant. what are The People worried about? what are the streets saying? you’ll almost always come away with a few interesting observations

gotta use the word commotion
can't deny i like being nosy for no reason other than the human race is so bizarre and i wanna listen to the opinions of my fellow peasants at the bus stop / need to decide if i want to be in on the action or not / mostly i just want to feel a part of Society and Spectatorship

obviously not in a creepy way but once you start doing this you’ll actually recognize the same people if you’re in a walking neighborhood and it starts to really feel like a village!
Love recognizing an old coworker, your local tailor, or just nodding at your barista on the street :)

you are a scout looking for changes in the landscape. you are making your presence known to the neighbors watching from their windows. you are saying hi to the old eastern europeans who are always outside smoking

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!

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
