This community is for people stuck inside -- because of COVID-19 or any other reason -- who could use some help keeping calm and carrying on.
Posting Guidelines:
1. This community is not for sharing COVID-19-specific data regarding health concerns. Please take that elsewhere.
2. Please keep your contributions positive in positive posts. The Commiseration Post is the place for negativity.
3. Remember, we're all stuck in this together. This is all IRL now.
4. Other rules subject to being added as needed.

petraIf you're joining us, please comment with:
1. Your name (your pronouns)
2. Experience with being stuck inside: newbie, been not around the block a few times, Grizzled Veteran of the Indoors Wars
3. Self-soothing: Favorite way to self-soothe at the moment
4. I hope: What you hope this community can do for you
5. I can offer: What you are bringing to the party
For example:
Petra (she/her)
Been not around the block a few times
Self-soothing: reading long fanfiction & Stardew Valley
I hope: I want to add structure and enjoyment to my days of being stuck inside, and bring the same benefits to other people
I can offer: an open, sympathetic mind and suggestions of ways to cope, e. g. "connect with new people on the internet for new perspectives"

Aug. 10th, 2020 02:09 pmpetraI have acquired a job that is going to eat basically all of my time for the next six months, and if someone finds value in this community and wants to take it on, I would be glad to pass it on to their leadership. If not, I'll close it down quietly.
petraNot just in the sense of "Summer" or "Winter," but of the things that happen around you this time of year.
petraAll good things must come to an end, and all bad things likewise. What's something that finished for you recently?
