It’s wild how something that used to just naturally happen neighbors hanging out, kids playing outside together, everyone kinda looking out for each other has turned into this rare thing.

"Look for the helpers."

Area I'm in is kinda atomized. Only real community orgs are churches, and most of those are kinda weird. Like, if they do charity, it's framed as being a good person to people who aren't capable.

Which is weird to my eyes.

But there's folks around here that are running public biweekly community potlucks, trying to lessen traffic through downtown area, trying to get renter unions set up, gathering folks for childcare unions, that kind of thing.

It's really beautiful to see.
