Adrian McEwenGetting to the bit about the <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Lifehouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lifehouse</a> concept itself in <a href="https://social.coop/@adamgreenfield" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adamgreenfield</a>'s book and (from the POV of being 13 years and one pandemic into building something resembling one) thinking that the space and tools are the easy part. It's (as ever) the people, the social, and small-p political parts that are hard.Maybe just for me, although that avoiding of explicit ideology has been a conscious choice to try to build a consensus institution/scene/whatever-DoES-is <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Liverpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Liverpool</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/weeknotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weeknotes</a>

Led By Fools<a href="https://mastodon.xyz/@remotevoices" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@remotevoices</a> Found your toot through the hashtag. About a month ago, I asked my local library system to purchase <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Lifehouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lifehouse</a> by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AdamGreenfield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AdamGreenfield</a> and they did!

remotevoicesAdam's new book Lifehouse came out on July 9th. Subtitled "taking care of ourselves in a world on fire". A culmination of his thinking on community, mutual aid, his involvment with occupy, and the like over the course of years. Given the themes of my story, and how the mirror my understanding of the idea of a lifehouse, I couldn't not include a reference. <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/gallus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gallus</a> <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/lifehouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lifehouse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/AdamGreenfield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AdamGreenfield</a> <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#community</a> <a href="https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/2536-lifehouse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/2536-lifehouse</a>
