Sarah dreams of beansToday in micro-socializing, my friends went to the beach without me, texted me photos, and brought me back a piece of fancy cake from Ruth+Dean 🩷
SevenDeadlyExesThought Experiment: What would a society look like, in which everyone is free to persue their own passions and interests, rather than employment?
(assume everyone is paid the same and/or has their basic needs met and money is irrelevant)

Valerie RoneyOk, #ifIHadABillionDollars is now my new fav hashtag.
The comments on this thread, have SO many ideas around community, housing, healthcare, education, creativity, and rest (so many ppl are so tired).

I've boosted a bunch, and will follow the tag and boost more as they come in.
Also check out, and add to, #spoonieTown - the imaginary place where we've fixed all the problems.
Thx for the #hopePunk & #solarPunk vibes, ya'll I needed that. 🥲

A friend was bemoaning (justly) we haven't been dreaming and imagining for a while. I think we've all been kinda head down surviving the winter and *waves hand at everything* But it's spring now, and time for hope to come back to life at least. Thusly I present a new tag: #ifIHadABillionDollars What would you do with a billion dollars? What would you build, create, solve, cultivate...? [social cue: this is not the place to rant politics, we've got the rest of the Internet for that]
@SevenDeadlyExes this is wonderful. We have a tag, #spoonietown gor exactly this kind of dreaming. Feel free to drop your examples on the tag any time. We so need to be able to imagine a different way of being (current iteration of society is kinda shite 🙃)
Anyone care to invite me to your #ActuallyAutistic private community? I need a less public, non-surveillance-tech-based group. (IE not facebook nor discord).
It does not need to be specific to autism, or disability. I would be happy to even run the tech side if the money came from somewhere. I do know of options. #SpoonieTown?
Seems like there should be a safe way to organize in private online in 2026. Oh yeah, I've been through all this recently with the ditch discord thing.

@actuallyautistic
so that means I need to revisit important topics every three months at least. which is a good goal anyway. of course I'll fall short. there is not enough me for everything important, in #spoonieTown.
@vlrny #IfIHadABillionDollars I'd like to buy a whole town and invite all my queer friends to live their - I'd open a free college so as to learn all the skills we'd need - trades and medicine and so on - we'd turn our gardens in to farms and grow and share our own food - and we'd have a lot of community events (bands, theatre, dances and so on) at town hall, and there'd be a library and a gym and workshops for everyone to use without fear of exclusion of judgement!! #spoonietown 🏳️⚧️🌈 👭 👬 🦄 ✨
How much does a baby tree cost? $10?
#ifIHadABillionDollars I would plant 100 million trees.
A lot of them around parking lots so they're not so gross n hot and barren in the summer.
...ooo and while we've got shady parking lots, how about cool-off meet ups where we gather in parking spots under trees with lawn chairs and a kiddie pool for our hot feetsies. Have a chill out and chat.
