📌The Benefits of Moving Together:
✅ Physical & Mental: Regular sessions help reduce the risk of cognitive decline, functional difficulties, and isolation.
✅ #Empowerment: Movement builds the confidence needed to maintain an independent #lifestyle.
At SPARTA Strength, we focus on more than movement — it’s about laughter, connection, and healthy #aging.✨

Understanding what makes a social platform a community isn't straightforward. I'm very far from a sociologist, so I'm probably not the right person to ask, but as we look at growing the Social Web I think it's an important question. How do we help platforms become more?

Harriet Tubman’s overlooked roles.👇🏾
🗣️We often remember Harriet Tubman as an escaped enslaved woman, an abolitionist, and the fearless “conductor” on the Underground Railroad — but her legacy also includes her work as a dedicated nurse who tended to Union Army soldiers, a compassionate caregiver, and a revolutionary hero.✨
👉🏽This month, we honor the legacy and courage of those—known and unknown—who fought for justice and #equality ..
2/
We recognize how their struggle inspired and laid the groundwork for movements advancing the rights of women, #immigrants, and all marginalized communities.
📚During these challenging times of banning #books and whitewashing history, we need educate ourselves and reflect on the truth that our destinies are connected, and progress for one #community strengthens us all.
🎯Let us honor this shared humanity not just in memory, but through peaceful civic action against systemic inequities—

For my parents generation, people born during the 1930s, mass consumption of music and other arts became the norm.
Instead of playing music being social being something that unites us, the consumption of music and art became an identity marker, a signal of status, of wealth.
And since the stories about music and the arts are written for mass consumption, they only focus on famous people, their hubris, betrayals, and their tragedies.
From cradle to grave, we have been trained as commodified people, taught the pseudo-science of Social Darwinism as self-evident human nature.
The isolation of relentless competition for status and wealth now defines many relationships, and so define arts.
For thousands of years most art was folk art, that was its purpose, its function; it was already naturally “democratized”.

Great article on the lack of pickup sports for all ages BY DESIGN. Why the heck do we make everything into formal, gated, restricted, registered, tournament etc. whether for kids or adults? I'd love to be playing pick-up sports myself, and so would my kids, and those are the best memories of my childhood. It's a failure of our local towns to make a healthy community…
