Detroit’s Slingshot Crew: More Than Rides

Did you see Belle Isle light up with those wild three-wheelers? Detroit Slingshot Dynasty isn’t just about flashy rides—they’re out here connecting people to city programs, stocking food banks, and even teaming up with police to fight gun violence. What started as a riding club is now a full-on community movement. The real flex? Giving back to Detroit, one slingshot at a time. Love seeing car culture make a difference! #Cars #Detroit #Community

Doggie Stick Library is the Cutest Trend

You’ve heard of little free libraries, but have you seen a doggie stick library? An East Nashville couple just built one outside their house, and it’s basically a stick buffet for neighborhood pups. Their dogs, Charlie and Ollie, are the ‘librarians’ making sure everyone shares. It’s become a total conversation starter and is honestly the most wholesome thing you’ll see today. No late fees—just wagging tails and new friends! #Pets #DogLovers #Community

Would You Quarantine Your Whole Town?

Imagine your entire village choosing to lock itself down to save thousands of strangers. That’s exactly what Eyam did during the Black Plague in 1665. When the deadly disease hit, the villagers decided to cut themselves off from the world—knowing many wouldn’t survive. Over 260 out of 350 people died, but their sacrifice stopped the plague from spreading. Talk about next-level community spirit! Eyam’s story is a wild reminder of how far people will go to protect others. #History #TrueStory #Community

Why Are Church Volunteers Disappearing?

Ever notice fewer familiar faces helping out at church lately? Turns out, a lot of volunteers are quietly stepping down—and it’s not just about being busy. Burnout, feeling unappreciated, unclear roles, and too much responsibility are driving people away. Plus, younger folks want more flexible, meaningful ways to help. If churches want to keep their programs alive, they need to show more appreciation, communicate better, and make volunteering easier. Have you seen this happening? What would make you want to stick around? #ChurchLife #Volunteering #Community #Religion

Is Losing Religion Hurting Our Mental Health?

Everyone’s blaming social media for the youth mental health crisis, but what if the real problem is that religion is disappearing from our lives? As fewer young people go to church or synagogue, we’re missing out on all the built-in support systems religion used to provide—like family bonding, community, volunteering, and a sense of purpose. If we’re not replacing those things, are we setting ourselves up for even more anxiety and loneliness? Maybe it’s time to rethink what we’re losing—and how to fill the gap. #MentalHealth #GenZ #Community #Health

Found a Climbing Group That Feels Like Breathing Out

First saw Balancing Acts in a repost from Arc’teryx. Bright colors, messy fonts, real people—not performance. They organize free outdoor bouldering sessions for folks who don’t usually get invited into these spaces. Gear, rides, space to just be. I stayed for the visuals. I kept scrolling for the mission. Their film had this one line that stuck: “If you come as you are, you’re already enough.” I didn’t know I needed to hear that from a climbing group. #sport #climbing #community

My pick for the NHRA

Still one of my favorite things: seeing a rival team jump the wall to help push a car off. Drag racing’s competitive as hell but when your rig breaks, suddenly everyone’s your pit neighbor. My dad always said this was more family reunion than bloodsport, and every weekend proves it. #NHRA #DragRacing #RacingFamily #PitCrew #Community

Just a reminder this place exists—paid for by a voluntary tax increase

This is what taxes should be for: public spaces, health, and joy. Not endless lawsuits or billionaire parades. Every time I swim here, I’m grateful that at least some of my taxes go to something the community can actually use. #Community #PublicSpaces #PublicPool #Swimming
