- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I haven't been in years, but I really like the LaBrea Tar Pits. Those reciprocal memberships are nice. We've done the arboretum and art museum ones. When our kids were young we did the zoo. It gave us a free thing to do with them when we traveled and since it was free we didn't feel like we had to stay the entire day .
I almost went to the Tar Pits last year on a work trip to Anaheim, but ended up driving out through Joshua Tree National Park. I had never really been to "the desert" before, and ended up having an amazing, almost spiritual experience. I really want to go back. Waiting for the flights to Vegas to go even lower to try and lure people in, then just rent a car and drive off into the sunset.
