Venture Commons would be nice.
But the whole "venture" thing predicates risk for a potential asymmetric fortune.
But investing in a commons predicates risk for symmetric collective flourishing.
The 'risk' is still there, but the 'fortune' needs to shift from 'cashing out' to 'living in/with'.

Tired of corporations abusing your brain, extracting your money, data, time, ownership, and privacy, and enforcing hidden agendas through censorship?
Make your pfp a Clippy to recall a bygone era of software that was genuine, helpful, and not evil.

WAR SHOULD NOT BE TREATED AS A SPORT IN WHICH WE WAVE OUR FLAGS AND ROOT FOR OUR TEAM.
THE ONLY WINNER IS PEACE.
Everyone and everything else loses.

Laundromats are so underrated; they're one of the living pulses of a community.
Talk with the locals, check out the community boards, take life slow for a few minutes.

Sometimes ADHD is the best thing ever and basically a superpower. Lately, it's been more like my kryptonite.
Coaching, meds, and coping strategies and I still can't get shit done. 😮💨
ADHD hacks anyone?

Living in an RV can be lonely. I think it's largely due to the community design of Campgrounds and RV Parks. They would make a great substrate for community and mutual aid.
