  • Hmm it’s not as much about Pacific Northwest, but the book 1491 is extensive. It covers the history and life of central/South American powers like the Aztec and Inca, as well as the more nomadic lives of the North American people.

    It’s more making the argument that the native Americans were extremely advanced for the time, especially compared to the Europeans. However, their advancement was within a different geography, meaning that their problems, and therefore solutions, were different. It’s a very interesting book that I would highly recommend!





  • It wasn’t opendesk unfortunately. I saw it maybe a year ago and I just remembered it recently.

    I think it was run by a nonprofit (or maybe it was some kind of company, idk) that I think both did planning for communities officially and provided the resources to do it on your own. Their wiki had multiple different sections, such as furniture, bus stops, beergardens, farmers markets, and more.

    I want to say it got started in Portland but that could be a fever dream :/






  • Yeah, I’m definitely on the fence about it. I agree about the bad faith participation with downvote brigading, but I also feel that having downvotes is, overall, a good way to gauge community agreement.

    I think what I would like the most is a visible upvote/downvote percentage ratio. That way you could see not only the net upvotes - downvotes like on reddit, but the actual participation by the community.
