is it weird to analyze [margaritaville](https://archive.ph/MSX7l) as an example of an [intentional community](#intentional communities)? [retirement communities](#retirement communities) as intentional communities: weirdly isolated by money and age, but otherwise I'd bet there's more interesting stuff to dig into. which ones work? which ones haven't? is this separable from the horrors of the [elder abuse](#elder abuse) in the [assisted living](#assisted living) industry? brb reading about the [duwamish coop](http://www.duwamish.net/) again :( (hang on should they even have that domain?) [gotta add this header](http://www.gnuterrypratchett.com/index.php#nginx) I feel like kicking [this essay](https://lithub.com/best-american-male-an-essay-about-masculinity-an-essay-about-power/) in the shins and I haven't figured out totally why or whether it's worth putting my finger on.
