Community-Based Enterprises: Driving Local Impact and Growth Explore community based enterprises: what they are, how they empower communities, and their impact on local economies. Build a sustainable future.

Community-based enterprises generate wealth for communities. Profits are reinvested to create a wealth multiplier effect, allowing for the improvement of essential services like transportation, housing, education, and healthcare for everyone.

This is what inclusive economics looks like.

I feel like it’s a matter of days before we start getting Mamdani-Senpai art from Japan

putting this on your timeline again

And you have to use your privilege if you have it. Like, a lot of the decisions about character identity in our game is made by myself and another cis white dude, but you better believe we take pains to make our characters reflect the diversity our players.

Truly, this is living

I love the concept, though slightly disappointed to learn it’s a matching game vs a Cards against Humanity style “use the right ‘Dude’ for the hypothetical” game

I’d be willing to bet the answer varies depending on the age of the collector (e.x. your great grandpa’s “collection” was just how he listened to music)

Just realized that in certain contexts, “Dude” is the equivalent of “honey in western vernacular.

Also arguably the closest Californians will get to “bless your heart”

It also works the other way though;
“Dude [oh honey], what’re you doing?”

From the insta comments:
It’s whole dang 45 min experience

Had a dream I had to use a walker for a leg injury but kept running into a guy who used a cane and there was honestly something charming about being stuck together by fate with another oddbird experiencing life at the same pace.

I recently solved a problem by adding a door where previously there was none

Source, and alt text I forgot:
A group of men(?) stand in a body of water in a scenic grotto blowing musically into bottles, accompanied by a flute. They are dressed in bathing suits and the quality of the footage and hairstyles indicates it is likely pre-80s.

good evening, BlueSky

Of course the flip side of this is due to my phonetic fascination, I’ve inadvertently internalized some terrible poetry

Timeline cleanse

People often remark how strange it is that I’ve made a career as a writer despite having relatively strong aphantasia. Well, who’s laughing now? I may have read it, but I didn’t have to envision it.

Hostgator bout to make a comeback

TTRPG PEOPLE: THE FONT OF YOUR RULEBOOK IS STORYTELLING. THE PICAS OF YOUR TABLES? STORYTELLING. This isn't a joke I am 500% serious. Visual design = storytelling.

I think it’s bad that ai allows people to pretend to live in completely separate realities so they don’t have to process news and events that make them uncomfortable. I think that is bad for the health of society!

A socialist running for that district and getting endorsed by Mamdani would be the funniest thing after today

And also forget that fresh cut flowers are still alive, even if trapped in a Faustian bargain

And by “you” I mean at least the ADHD crowd

I’ll often buy flowers for my partner an then a few days later wonder why my allergy symptoms are acting up despite a clear pollen forecast.

You really take the stuff in your environment for granted once it’s situated 🤦🏻‍♂️

AKA: everybody gets a home, healthcare, and the necessities of daily life just for being alive
