Who here has made, stocked or utilised a free food pantry? (www.wikihow.com)

One of the things I'd like to include in thr community garden I'm working on establishing is a food pantry. I'd love to have a place with recycled containers to take home garden goodies, residents to leave extra dry goods, and things like care products/toiletries. I've seen pictures of them online and read articles about them...

Wigglet,

Yeaah it sounds like it's ended up as the same kind of thing. I've heard the book ones are tricky as it's hard to get a popular range that doesn't fade into less popular, stagnant books.

Were people using the food? How was the range?

Wigglet,

Please come fill Betterment with positive mutual aid/community related news to the point we need a whole new Good News sub 😂🙏

Wigglet,

I love your use of colours. Who did you learn what woukd work for the shadows and highlights? How do you come up with a palette?

Wigglet,

Best of luck on your interview and I hope you get some rest

I should let you know what is being allowed (beehaw.org)

Please read the replies to the link i posted in this linked post. It highlights a lot of really upseting content that is pushing LGBT people away from this instance and makes people feel uncomfortable or unsafe in a safe space. Reminder a persons right to exist peacefully shouldn't be up for debate and they shouldn't be treated...

Wigglet,

I see a thread of people shitting on an asshole calling human rights an opinion? It looks like he has 2/3 upvotes but if there was a downvote button i guarantee their comments would be in the negatives. It doesn't look like a debate to me but people telling someone that it's not a debate and if they think it is one they can go elsewhere. I guess the whole conversation could be removed but i think having one so full of support for transrights being human rights is good for other readers to see. If they agree with the asshole, they'll know their "opinions" aren't welcomed or supported here.

Rebecca's Slow Fashion Brands spreadsheet, and Rebecca's words on slow fashion (last updated late 2022) (docs.google.com)

this Google spreadsheet doubles as a sustainability resource, but it's generally a good starting point if you're looking to put money where your mouth is in trying to improve your clothing consumptive habits. it also has some basic, useful words defining what slow fashion is and its principles. i've transcribed these (and the...

Wigglet,

This is great! Thanks for sharing 😊 i love clotheshorse podcast. They have a very informative instagram as well.

Wigglet,

“Through this research, kids told us that it was important for Furby to be their ultimate best friend – a furry companion to do all the things a BFF would do, like dance to music, share fortunes, meditate, mimic each other in silly voices, and even put on a light show, and that’s exactly what we created.”

I love picturing small children setting up elaborate light shows for their best friends

Wigglet,

I live rurally now but I lived in a big city when I was younger and yeah I felt like a cog in a machine in the best way? It felt much more communal than my small community now so I think I've really been chasing that feeling. I think when we are physically more isolated it becomes easier to mentally isolate, especially when a lot of people are having to commute for work and coming home too exhausted for socialising. I really want a more robust public transport system as I think it encourages a connection between regular riders.

Wigglet,

While the results are obvious to most people, it's important to do these sorts of studies and articles so people have somewhere to point when developers are pushing for more car centric infrastructure.

Wigglet,

Ooof that's valid. Do you have a local community garden or theatre group? There will be supportive people hiding out in your community somewhere and I feel like those two things attract some fun, kind people.

Wigglet,

That's a really rough spot to be in 😕 I hope you can find a sense of community and can pass your drivers course quickly.

Wigglet,

I really like where this is going. Can't wait to see it all finished!

Wigglet,

I actually really like this idea. I feel like it should also have a time expiry of some sort but I overall I think it's a good balance of protections for smaller creators and a limit to excessive greed. If it's truly a revolutionary idea, it will make back the development costs quickly and the information will be available to other creators to build on.

Mixed feelings about giving money to houseless people

So, to get this out of the way, I'm a cisgender white man from a well-off family in a fairly affluent town. I'm making this post because I want to hear perspectives from those who are different from and likely significantly more knowledgeable than me. (Literally as I was writing this post, I came to the epiphany that I should...

Wigglet,

I think you need to go talk to the familiar faces and get to know them. Ask them what they need and get it for them and a little cash if you can. You might find other ways you can help them like connecting them to other resources or giving them rides to things they need like jobs, clinics, shelters, support etc. I don't think there is anything wrong with giving people cash. Yeah, they might spend it on drugs. Addiction is a huge problem but you being just one more judgemental person in their life isn't going to be their turning point. Be a good listener, show them they matter, and bee kind. It sounds like you know that guilt of giving is misplaced so thats a great start.

Now that we're midway through the season, is there one small thing you can do before the end of your Summer/Winter?

Now is a good time to think about a small way you can help, even it it's just making an effort to pick up some rubbish on a walk. For me, it's winter and I start to feel a bit down from the lack of sunlight hours so i like to give myself a very small and achievable goal that can give me a little boost of serotonin. Between...

Wigglet,

That sounds lovely! I miss summer markets. I hope you find a few delicious things to take home tomorrow 😊

Wigglet,

I really should go get some vitamin D supplements, that's a good idea

What kind of beans do you make? Do you have a favourite recipe?

Wigglet,

Moving can be super stressful. I think giving yourself some time to get settled then finding all the hidden gems in your city is a great idea

Wigglet,

I really love the peachy orange colour. It's my favourite colour of flower 😍

Do you like parks and rec? Go to your local community council meetings!

After giving my first presentation at our local community council meeting I've come to the conclusion that the show is a real documentary. While my presentation went great (who doesn't love a conveniently located garden and free food?!?), there was heckling of other presenters for having the audacity to get university educations...

Wigglet,

It's ✨️a time✨️ I really think everyone should have to go to at least one
