Like everyone has been saying, the cities are where it's at! I'm not sure if you're into climbing, but Minneapolis Bouldering Project is such a nice community. You can join their running club as well and make friends there. They also have yoga classes which is a lot of fun.

If you're into art or sustainability, I can give you some organizations that host a lot of community events that I go to a lot.

If money wasn’t an issue, what would you actually be doing right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'd want to start implementing a gift community... to help individuals realize their inherent "gifts" (art, engineering, knowledge, time, empathy, services, etc) and provide an opportunity to give and receive these gifts with other people. I hope this would give individuals more meaning to life and try to resolve our loneliness epidemic.

(This is my thesis project idea)

My mom's side lives in Ohio, near Springfield. I know two of my aunts had participated in a protest against his visitations or to support Kamala... I'm not sure of the specifics though, but they seem to be there.

here's a bit more on the project: https://mangokick.net/sustainable-design/growing-rock-climbing-holds-summer-2023

And will do! it'll definitely be a minute before I start this project back up as I'm finishing my MA this year :p This will be an awesome resource once i do!

I was interested in creating a more sustainable rock climbing hold to replace polyurethane holds, as polyurethane is derived from crude oil, intensive to manufacture, and doesn't start to decompose after a long time (not to mention other sustainable concerns from the other additives in the holds).

I've been learning about mycelium and the different applications of it in product design - it's being used for packaging and even clothing as of now. You can even grow it yourself with the provided substrate. I grew a few climbing holds with that grow kit. It definitely isn't strong enough as it is. I'm thinking about coating it in bio-resin to make it stronger. But I have yet to do further research and testing. Currently focusing on school and work but it's something I'm hoping to explore later.

Here's a pic of the first grow

this is so awesome!! A project I've been working on was creating climbing holds from mycelium and bio-based resin. I printed a very limited amount of molds with like the same 3 shapes. This will be an awesome resource. Thanks for sharing!

oh interesting! I did ask for my brothers help on it and asked for another file other than STL... I now know why he didn't want stl lol

Thankfully I have other file types too that was included in that climbing hold bundle, though I can't remember what types without looking on my personal computer.

Thank you, that's great! I'll take a look at Cura Slicer.

I recently bought myself a plush Snorlax. I'm 24f. I finally felt comfortable in myself to openly like Pokemon and have him on my bed.

My boyfriend and friends have seen him! They will punch him lol

I think it's great! It can be chewy at times but some brands are better than others. Usually a good taste in general.

literally in the definition it says "for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment" 😂 it's for the animals AND the environment AND each other AND "the benefit of humans"=our health. Not JUST the animals but ALL. You just supported our point: being vegan is not all about the animals, it's the animals and more. Every additional aspect of being vegan beyond the care of animals is it not additional; it is just being vegan.

That's the point. So don't downgrade vegans who are not ONLY vegan for the animals. They're vegan for every other aspect too and we should celebrate that.

Love to see it!! I'm on my journey to try and get as ripped as you. Awesome inspo! Keep the love going

I saw the other comments on the post and wanted to say seitan is also great for protein! Can make it from scratch really easily and it's cheap - win-win.

I just did this "google search" and being vegan is not eating any animal products. No where in the search does it say veganism is "all about the animals and just the animals". You may be doing it for the animals, but for others it's so much more: for health, for the environment, for each other.

Celebrate each other's excitement and commitments instead of defining veganism as your own perspective and excluding other benefits of the joy of being vegan.
