[COMMUNITY] In the IRL subsite, paduasoy has posted Getting stuff done in February 2025 as a space to "support ourselves and each other in getting things done, whatever that means to you. Decluttering, organising, cleaning, admin, making progress on projects," including arts and crafts goals. Nice!

We found them, and they are in a website near you! In Ask Metafilter, alex1965 asks, What can I do in my spare time to benefit society?, while in Metatalk, Glinn posted Small Things, for people who "feel like they should be doing something or contributing something ... even if it's a small thing." Thank you both for helping us all to help each other! ✨

Making You the You You Are brings us Best Documentary Feature nominees, new movies, what's new in TV, special events, and much more, including a new episode of Severance ... and its fictional self-help book "The You You Are" gets a real e-book. Enjoy! and thanks, DOT!
