also: bluesky (just simply as a text posting app, bar for bar) is miles better than twitter lol

im really hoping it can hit critical mass of users bc it's just so much better to use

anyhoo bowling alone is now on the reading list and i just signed up for a shift at thefoodprogram.org

great work all involved @voxdotcom.bsky.social

- also there's a loneliness epidemic: people don't socialize as much
- but it turns out, volunteering is Good for your community, Actually (duh) and makes you less lonely (also duh)

great today explained episode from vox yesterday

tl;dL

- gen-z has been told (many times) that individuals (basically) cannot effect change in society (ie take shorter showers is dumb, occupy wall st instead)
- now, only ~20% of us volunteer (less than older gens, in decline)

(if it's still flagged just hit 'proceed anyway' and you'll be aight)

hello internet

for ~10 years i've kept a series of scrapbooks containing bits and bobs from my life

when i moved to sf, i almost* lost them all in the mail—which made me do some thinking. which made me do some writing
