#thirdplaces
Important comments on “third places” (the places in our community outside home & work that support social interaction, from the pub to the community centre or church) in our communities, and how they effect our politics. #ThirdPlaces
One thing I think we've underestimated is how strong the 'third places' network inside the conservative world works to fuel politics. There's non-stop in-person emotionally-bonding conversation space continually reinforcing conservative politics -after-church, rural cafes, community activities, etc

Removing cars not only opened up a bike path, it also improved a park. Parks are such important #ThirdPlaces.
An easy way to improve the places human beings live and play...

My way to rebuild #thirdplaces and a culture of shared stories is through running Live Action Role Playing and Tabletop events with pay-what-you-can policies.

I used to think community was something that just happened.
Maybe that was the point.

Kids outside. Adults in driveways. Someone always around. No plan required. Just Tuesday.

A productive morning at The Congregation, a Detroit café in a reimagined church near the ’67 riot epicenter. A staple of historic #BostonEdison it shows how #thirdplaces and #adaptivereuse can extend a neighborhood asset’s life and reinforce community life.

The church solved a social problem, not a metaphysical one. The brewpub down the street is solving the same problem. Better hours, too.

Are brewpubs and tasting rooms the churches of the future?
As churches vanish, your local brewpub may help satisfy the need for human communion.

I have a lot of plans for this roundtable.

The most important is using the Iceberg model to clearly explain why RTO mandates fail, and what to do in its place.

I would love to see you there.

One of my micro-goals for 2025 is to utilize the public library at LEAST once a week, including physical visits. It's small, but it's something. Let's fight for our third places #publiclibraries #thirdplaces #audiobooks

What if the solution to strengthening democracy looks more like dive bar karaoke than deep intellectual debate?

@lisabubert.bsky.social explores lessons we can take away from a space that invited drag queens, cowboys & bikers to mingle in small-town Texas.

Through My Lens: Money changes hands, but familiarity is what really accumulates. Sociologists call this familiarity “weak ties” and they bond us to our places where we live. Can you share other examples? #urbandesign #urbanplanning #placemaking #publicspace #thirdplaces #thirdspaces
