Lots of great feedback from @sage_southaus about why The Joinery in #adelaide #kaurnaYarta is such a unique venue and one that's so vital to the community. So heartbroken at the demolition plans💔

The "Making Contact With Friendly Aliens Tour" continues. Last night: A terrific #DIY space in #Graz, a fantastic concert, then an evening with the organisers and other musicians. It's so cool that there's so many talented people doing cool stuff - there is hope, people!

GONE! Because you don't want to give away taxpayer MONEY to build #CommunitySpace and #EmergencyShelters, do we?!!
Press Release from #USDA
USDA Rural Development Awards $2 Million to Town of Hollis for New Town Hall and Community Center
Sep 18, 2024 - "U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development Maine State Director Rhiannon Hampson today announced a Community Facilities grant of $2M for the Town of Hollis. The York County town will use the grant towards the construction of a new town hall and community center."

So, a #CommunitySpace is being built in #HollisMaine. In addition to housing the town's government, it will also be a #ThirdSpace and #EmergencyShelter for local residents. (Also, when I searched for more information, I found the #USDA press release about the project had been DELETED! But that's a rant for another time...)
"Once complete, the structure will house the offices of the town staff, the Select Board and Planning Board, as well as services such as motor vehicle registration and General Assistance access.
"There will be a large multipurpose room for public meetings and events. Most of these features will be on the ground floor, with ample room for expansion as needed in the future thanks to a full daylight basement.
"With climate change and severe storms in mind, town leaders also plan to use the new facility as an emergency shelter.
"'In the last year we had two major storms that put the power out for two to five days a lot of people, and we didn’t have anywhere for people to go to warm up, charge their phones, and so forth,' said Mary Hoffman, who is on the town select board.
"The energy-efficient, spacious and accessible new town office will provide a warm shelter during future power outages or other emergencies.
"Another beneficiary of the larger building slated to open next year will be the town’s Parks and Recreation Department, which will have more storage space and more options for evening activities."

"#BridgehouseGardens community group in South London has been on an incredible journey.
"Together, they have transformed a disused, vacant tarmac site into a thriving forest garden and built by hand a new community learning space, #TheWinsladeBarn. Along the way, participants have learnt amazing practical skills, built community and created space for wildlife."

Chris Gabe of Bridgehouse Garden Community Group describes an incredible journey from tarmac site in South London to thriving forest garden and a cosy wooden barn, hand built by the local community group after learning a host of new practical skills.
If only publicly-owned and community-owned buildings were as easily available for non-commercial gatherings of citizens and community members, as are groups on DataFarming online platforms.
Maybe then we'd all spend less time online getting predated on by corporations, and more time getting to know the people we share our neighborhoods, towns, cities and countries with.
Pubs in England are community gathering spots, in many areas. It’s been lovely and relaxing to sit in a mildly full pub of families, the bubbling conversations and laughs enveloping like a warm hug… all while having my own space to exist.
