We can’t shave at home all the time. As I recently lived through, sometimes we have to shave elsewhere. And one thing I did miss was a traveller’s shaving-mug – like the one Henry E Biggins filed a patent for on 1911. It looks very neat and handy, even a hundred and twelve years later....
This isn’t something I’m doing, but it is something to keep in mind if you want to work designing or implementing emergency housing.

I think I’m having a bit of an autistic burnout moment over politics. I’m moving a lot more left over the years but just don’t feel like I can do anything. I have 2 years left on a work contract and it would be killer to lose that job, but also I want to help people in ways where quitting might be the best option. I want...

The mini pantry movement is a grassroots, crowdsourced solution to immediate and local need. Whether a need for food or a need to give, mini pantries help feed neighbors, nourishing neighborhoods....
This is just one good resource. I’d recommend the social.coop mastodon instance for more!
Every city should have a toy library. With limited space and limited income our toy library has been essential to my daughters playtime happiness. It's sustainable, teaches responsible toy care, allows her to try out new things and access the flash toys we wouldn't be able to otherwise. It also creates a sense of community from...

Post your shave of the day for Friday!
My 19 month old just woke me up screaming at midnight... This is something she almost never does; she has slept through the night for over a year now. Usually she only wakes us up if she's managed to soak herself. (This little girl is like a faucet at times). She even manages to calm herself to sleep without us when she's...
It’s all well and good to have a fun razor to shave with, an odd brush to make lather with, and an old soap to make lather from… but if you can’t see your own face, your shave probably won’t be great. And for those who shave in the shower, you’ll probably like a non-steaming mirror. Like the one Nicholas S Kladitis...
It's such a neat concept that can make certain expensive services like lawyers or therapists more accessible. I could trade a few hours gardening, sewing, cleaning, or baking, for someone else to give me a hand building a larger project. It's a beautiful way to connect a community through acts of service 🥰

[Review] Chatillon Lux’ TSM Fougère...
We all know about King C Gillette, the man who invented the modern safety razor. Or claimed to invent it – there was clearly many who had similar ideas around the turn of the last century. But do we actually know the guy, and not just know about him? Turns out that we may not – hence why I would suggest reading “King C...
no doubt some of you are already quite familiar with these--they might even be a staple in your community already--but for those of you who have not heard of repair cafes before, here's a concept of how the most organized ones work:...
First, I'm sorry if this isn't 100% on brand, I know that this is more of a community betterment aimed community, but I wanted to post here because it can be very hard/overwhelming to take on personal improvement projects when you're not sure how to do them. So I was hoping it would help people! Mods if this is too off topic, I...

The Community Toolbox is a resource provided by the Center for Community Health and Development at the University of Kansas, and I’ve referenced them from time to time in my college organizing work. It has a strong focus on non-profits, but there’s still a lot of stuff that I think is really pertinent to community organizing...
