Online communities (like Beehaw!) are amazing, but IRL communities are so important for our mental health too, and those are deteriorating in our modern life. All over the world, people are more depressed than they've ever been.
I completely support the idea of making communities more safe and walkable. It feels impossible to tackle on a national level, but there's a lot you can do locally. Get to know your local politicians and get involved.
