Aw man that's an even better punchline. It's peely good.
While I agree with this it doesn't address the issues at least in the US with the cost of rent and all the problems associated with renting (landlords and property management companies treating their residents like garbage) I wish we could have more apartments where the unit is owned by the individual.
There is already an illegallysmolcats https://lemmy.world/c/illegallysmolcats Im sure the rest arent far behind.
I know there is a book community already. https://lemmy.world/c/books@lemmy.ml Im sure it wont be a curated as bettermentbookclub but its a start.
Aw man I haven't even thought about that sub til now. It was my morning coffee scroll. It will take forever to build something like that here.
I had mixed results with the community. I got some great articles that I was able to share to raise awareness, some great book recommendations for everything from coping with stress to fiction to distract myself to useful sustainability topics.
But it also wreaked havoc on my mental health overall and I got downvoted for trying to find environmental communities that werent just big corporations in disguise or ineffective at their goals.
Overall definitely not going to miss it but a community that isn't afraid to talk about collapse while still trying to find some solutions (even if just small individual solutions) would be welcome imo.
Got to be honest, I am not a true hydro homie, but if I was doomscrolling and a previous hyrdohommies post came up, it reminded me to drink water. So thanks hydro homies!
fair on the pomodoros. What about body doubling?
I don't know. I find this refreshing. I had been a major lurker on reddit but here it feels like its truly a community, but maybe that's the novelty of it.
I have had some success with Pomodoro timers. Honestly now that I am older I am resorting to trying to reduce my digital presence (which is funny because here I am lurking on lemmy avoiding work) and doing a lot on paper. Printing out worksheets, handwriting things, putting my phone in a drawer where I can't randomly pick up and get distracted for an hour. Its a rough start but its helped a little.
I don't really have a lot to contribute, its only recently I went from being a lurker to really engaging with the community on Reddit, perhaps here I will feel more like engaging instead of just doomscrolling until my eyes fall out.
