    Moving to a rural area and realizing how fucking hard it is.

    The hill I will die on: rugged individualism as strength in a post-disaster world is a lie that is sold to appeal to ego in an individualistic society, and also to prevent the formation of community.

    That doesn’t apply to many existing rural communities, who of course know better.

      It is an unfortunate truth for introverted autistic loners like me that Community really is key to survival.

        Hello fellow introverted autistic loner. I hope you find a community that suits you and what level of engagement you are able to have. It may not surprise you to know there are plenty of autistic rural people lol 😅
