good laugh

My favorite kind of laugh, or at least the one that I feel like I've identified a lot lately, at least when it comes to watching something, is seeing people who are having fun with each other. I think Seth Meyers' late night show ancillary product "Corrections" does this a lot. I think Whose Line Is It Anyway gave me this kind of laugh a lot. I think Dropout's shows often give this. I guess it's a fairly improv-related kind of laugh. It's people who are pleased as punch that they're doing the thing.

That confidence that people around you trust and care for you and you in turn trust and care for them, and that trust and confidence lets you laugh freely and be silly and they laugh? chef's kiss

Here's a partial list of things I'm care about

Worker power
"Going upstream": Digging deeply into cause and effect to find where harm comes from and identifying points along the way where we can repair instead of perpetuate harm (for example, instead of responding to a fight between kids by punishing the kids, figuring out what work we can do to address the conditions that led to the fight: working with those kids to develop relationships and conflict resolution skills, working with the people in their lives to help them learn how to model conflict resolution strategies that bring them closer together, working on identifying the missing resources from folks' lives that leave them stressed and why those resources are missing and putting pressure on the people that are responsible for depriving those folks of the resources they need...)
Plants
Sustainability (and recognizing work that actively works against sustainability)
Games, especially strategic board games
Playing pretend, especially with other people
Family, and the concept of family encompassing everyone in the world
Physics
Astronomy
Sci-fi
Fantasy
Foraging
Hitchhiking
Trust, radical trust
Dismantling the punishment bureaucracy and abolishing the carceral system
The funny pages
Puns
