This is wonderful! I’ll have to look back through the last 35 years

I can speak to the value of a community fridge, I’ve been helping pick up food donations once a week for the past few years. Our town has a few locations downtown and a small network of people manage them (I’m only there to help with heavy boxes). The fridges are all posted outside of churches, which provide electricity and extra storage space, and it’s mostly retired folk who handle the logistics. Whenever we run into someone who’s there to pick up food, they’re always so thankful (if they want to talk, some people aren’t comfortable interacting). We often hear of medical issues putting people out of work, families having to take in kids from other places, and all manner of difficult situations.

Here’s a short impact assessment from 2019 with some numbers (not my town). But these places end up having hosts of network affects that benefit their communities.

Ah that’s a classic! I haven’t read it in years, but if you enjoy it it, Gibson has a collection of short stories that you may like: Burning Chrome

This was such a good idea, so many of these are fire.

On the topic of fiction, I’ve been reading a book my partner recommended “A Psalm for the Wild Built”. They described it as “happy nature sci-fi, something called solarpunk. I think you’d like it” lol. It’s an easy read, a story set in the far future about a tea monk on an adventure with low stakes and pleasant wordbuilding. It’s very welcome comfort right now. I’ll check out !fiction!fiction@slrpnk.net, if anyone has suggestions for other relaxed-type solarpunk reads, I’m very eager to hear them!

The author of this article has a little website where he reviews indie games, its been a good read, and just reeks of a passionate writer. https://buried-treasure.org/

I love Cube! But don’t forget about Cube 2: Hypercube, or the (admittedly weaker) prequel, Cube: Zero. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(film_series)
