A tiny snippet from a lovely thread
i want to be asked to come over and help put my friend's kids to bed as casually as they might text their spouse and ask them to pick up milk on the way home
i want to stop and pick up milk for another friend because i know their spouse hates the grocery store
i want to buy fruit that i dont like because it's on special and i know people who do
i want to pass lemons over the fence and to take my neighbours bins out when the forget
i want group chats instead of rideshare apps, calls in the middle of the night because someone's at the hospital, lonely or hungry or both
i want to do the dishes in other people's houses, extra servings wrapped in tinfoil and tea towels so it's still warm when you drop it off, a basket of other people's mending by my couch
i want to be surrounded by reminders that 'imposing' on each other is what we were born to do
Today I learned there are graphic resources—icons and banners—on the Archive of Our Own!
https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Banners%20*a*%20Icons/works
(Sadly AO3’s metatags don’t create RSS feeds, so I can’t add one here.)
New DW community for people who archive information from the web: ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
datahoarders
timeasmymeasure provides resources for would-be archivists without tech skills:

Of particular interest to me:
AO3 Downloader: a life-saver for any person who has thought, "God, I wish I could download all of my bookmarks, but that would take sooo long to do individually." Another Github download which is saved by its thorough instructions!

Date: 20/04/2025 10:41 pm (UTC)My anxious self hesitates to contribute because I can "only" help, not completely solve things. But help is better than nothing! Many hands make light work!

(I require huge amounts of hibernation from other people in other to function at all, but it doesn't mean I don't like them.)
I get it

Date: 20/04/2025 10:44 pm (UTC)that does sound hard.
My neighbor across the street put up a chalkboard with a little roof to protect it, and a chalk holder. She writes prompts every couple of weeks, and folks chime in all the time.
"What are you looking forward to this month?"
"What's your favorite flower?"
Nothing earth shaking, but it does offer a chance for people to chatter a little, and witness each other doing it.

I think when we finally manage to move out of here, things will be a lot easier.
