100 Neighborful Days

100 Neighborful Days

Hello, You!

This page will help keep you up to date on all our adventures during 100 Neighborful Days, happening from now until December 31st.

Here's the weekly schedule for the Days:

  • Monday: Shout Out Day on BlueSky will highlight reporting from others around the US on good neighbors among us - individuals and groups like us, who are doing the work. The first post in the series was about our neighbor and friend Chuck in Philly. You can share items with me over email, or post them on BlueSky for me to repost, using the hashtag #neighborful.
  • Tuesday: The revamped Neighborful Gazette will bring interviews and reporting to you in audio podcast form, telling the stories of good neighbors and neighborful organizations around Pennsylvania and the US. These will be published in the Neighborful Station podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app - starting on Tuesday, September 30th with Sabina Leybold of the 50 State Dinners Project.
  • Wednesday: After the Gazette podcast on Tuesdays, Bump Day on BlueSky is when we will share ideas from others on neighborful practices and organizations. Examples: Stoop Coffee and Friday Night Meatballs. Shout Out Monday will be more about who, and Bump Day will be more about how. In both cases, you can share resources with me over email, or post them on BlueSky for me to repost, using the hashtag #neighborful.
  • Thursday: The email newsletter for subscribers going forward will be called Neighborfully. My goal with Neighborfully is to put my work here in a larger context, and to help all of us remember that we can do good work, maybe the best work of our lives, because this moment is so challenging.
  • Friday: Easter Egg Day on BlueSky, where I share all of the little details from an episode of Neighborful Station. I'm pouring a lot of thought and effort into these episodes, and I'm excited to give you a behind-the-scenes tour of how each episode works. Here's the first one!
  • Saturday: New episodes of Neighborful Station drop on Saturday mornings, with both our regular episodes and our Sleep Editions. Be sure to like and follow the show on Apple, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app.
  • Sunday: We rest!

And here's a recap of everything we've shared over the course of the 100 days, most recent items first:
