I talk to my neighbors when I see them outside. I don't "plan" anything; I just try to be friendly.
The other day my neighbor talked about doing some significant landscaping and alluded to it being necessary "if I needed to sell the house", and I told her I wouldn't blame her since I'm not sticking around forever either if things don't open back up. That turned into a long discussion on related topics, and now we have a level of understanding and trust between each other on that subject.
Mixing online and real-world is a dangerous game. It's unfortunate, because there's a couple people here I'm quite certain live close enough we could easily meet in-person.
Yeah but it's a valuable skill to have. At a minimum, knowing who in your neighborhood can't be trusted is a valuable piece of data. As is finding that out without giving away your own position.
Exhausted from your federal work, glowie

Talking on the internet is why there's any resistance to what's occurring at all. Don't fuck it up.
We could all catch our farts in little plastic bags...might help.
