The Garden is a social-experiment and not the default world.
It is a radically free and open space in many ways, and this also comes with some agreements, norms, and rules [oh my god]. Outside of these agreements, we welcome you, free bird.
The negative-space which they create is vast and open to your curiosity, agency, and imagination.
You may see many of these as common sense, but a few of these are unique to The Garden and not-what-you’re-used-to. This used to be shorter. Alas.
[ ] I will not leave even a single unwashed dish or object in the kitchen sink.
[ ] I will take responsibility for my own experience and practice the lost arts of communication and listening.
[ ] If I have an issue or conflict with someone, I will speak to them directly. If I don't feel comfortable doing so, I will speak with the community manager for support.
[ ] I understand that these agreements are not meaningless words, and that I will be asked to leave if I break these or make a mess for others.
[ ] I will channel my judgment into creativity. I will own my shit.
