DO Digest: November 8, 2022
We recently realized we have a lot of very interesting ideas and resources floating around the Doomer Optimism community: we have high level writers, cutting edge practitioners and all sorts of ways to get involved that would be helpful to those following us. We will be sending out periodic digest emails like this with our own podcast episodes, writing or podcasts in the DO-sphere, and potential resources like places to source local food, homeschooling curricula and more.
