I'm chatting to the man who fixes our lawnmowers in Tallanstown, Co Louth. Monaghan is only a few fields away and everyone comes to Denis Smyth - from there, from Ardee, from Louth village and Knockbridge and other such unshowy places - for a chat and a service. I realise a few minutes in that we're both cursing a lot.

It just seems like it would be too much hassle, and that's not to mention everything that happens around the game. When I do hear stories about the TCG, they're usually stories of controversy . Images of people nearly destroying the Van Gogh Museum in order to get exclusive cards and merchandise to sell online, as well as grown-ass men fighting and camping out for cards outside of GameStops, are seared into my brain.

"A lot of people have become friends over square dancing. A lot of people have come together and gotten married during square dancing," Henderson said.

"Start with something that is fast to deliver and testable," Dunlap said, adding that side hustlers were often more focused on big projects.

I grew up in Houston but had been living in Austin for nine years. I felt stuck in my suburban neighborhood. Everything looked the same, it was very quiet, and you barely saw anyone outside. A typical day involved going to the gym or getting coffee and then returning home to work with my husband. I felt isolated and craved more adventure and community.

You know how it is. You got your phone, I've filmed it and gone, 'Look at the state of this garden. I'm going to sort this garden out'

This season sees the release of big party-focused cookbooks, like Dan Pelosi's straight-to-the-point Let's Party and Brie Larson and Courtney McBroom's Party People, full of ambitious, themed spreads and tips for setting the mood through tablescapes. We also see books about how to throw less-formal gatherings, such as Hetty Lui McKinnon's Linger, Chelsea Fagan's Having People Over, and Samin Nosrat's Good Things.

People across every age group describe feeling disconnected and alone, missing a sense of community and deep friendships. Our reliance on technology, the fact that we spend our days interacting with screens and talking to bots, not people, working in isolation; the geographic scattering of families and the disappearance of community pillars; the overall shift in our values as a society, with "progress" having replaced contentment; all of it contributes to the situation in which we now find ourselves.

The Special Presentations description at TIFF is as laconic as it is cogent: "High-profile premieres and the world's leading filmmakers." The films in this dispatch boast star all-star casts and tell coming-of-age stories of a sort, but they're really stories about people who have to accept parts of themselves they'd rather keep hidden, and begrudgingly accept ways community can help ground them while all else spirals out of control.

"When we set up Public Service... it feels like you're just activating something that's here under the surface all the time."

The program prides itself in sharing personal stories and unique experiences of all types, with a goal of amplifying the voices of our community. It is crucial, now more than ever, to share your story. Local celebrities like Josh Kornbluth, Marga Gomez, Irma Herrera, Diane Barnes, and so many others got their start on Monday Night Marsh. Every Monday (unless it's a holiday), we feature 3 people who perform up to 20 minutes of their (work-in-progress) piece. Each group performs twice in a month. After each show, we do a Q&A with the audience and performers, which allows for the opportunity to give and receive any feedback. You can watch in person, or stream via zoom for free.

For most of my life, I've been chasing home and never really finding it. I'd look for it in my mom's childhood bedroom, her blue carpet holding my big dreams (and endless questions) as I spent summers with my grandparents and cousins. I'd look for it wherever my parents' jobs took them, always following a promotion or the promise of easier access to family.

Softball for us and for me became my social circle - it's super social, everyone's really friendly with each other.

For the Hakka people, the oil-paper umbrella carries profound cultural meaning.

My daughter and I got into the park at 5:30 a.m., and it's been fun. The woman to my right gave me her newspaper to read when she was finished. And my daughter was talking to this guy whose daughter brought a dozen doughnuts and then, all of a sudden, we had doughnuts, too. In past years, some of the guys from the bodegas would come over with menus. I had bacon and eggs in a bagel delivered.

My favorite memories were when he would walk by and drop a, 'how's your love life going?' And he would then just laugh and walk away,
