1. You may have seen the story about 80 some beachgoers who formed a chain to rescue folks caught in a riptide. One of the key things was that lots of people saw the problem, since the lifeguards had gone off duty, some folks tried to head out with a board, and another realized the issue and started calling for a chain, encouraging others to join. Many people often want to help, but don't know how to do it without getting themselves in trouble to. Having someone make a suggestion that everyone could help with worked.
2. There's a lot of scoffing these days about safe spaces, but these two young men got married after meeting in a fraternity that catered to black gay men, and reminds us all, that spaces where we can be ourselves can provide all sorts of lasting connections.
3. Book Voyagers created book lists based on Camp Half Blood cabins. There are some great books in some of these cabins, so there are quite a few more I need to look into.
