I have this app called Freebie Alerts that allows people to list things they are giving away for free! it's kind of like facebook marketplace but all free things. i also know there's a relatively big reddit forum for the city i live in and people are pretty active there. i once asked if someone was willing to do a puzzle swap and got responses quickly. see if there's a reddit forum for your city!

it’s like a local facebook marketplace but the only rule is that everything is free! Not only can you find stuff like furniture or garden supplies, you can also put out a lil want ad asking if anyone has something you’ve been looking for :)

Join your neighborhood or city or town free groups on Facebook! I’ve gotten free furniture, clothes, shoes, vintage stuff, jewelry, little trays, etc. it’s amazing and so fun to get new things for free, also a great way to pass your loved things on to their next life. I got the vintage ll Bean jeans and the American apparel fisherman sweater both for free from fb (I’m on the left) win win!

F*ck Meta but dang there’s nothing more wholesome than a local Facebook Group. Seeing my Brooklyn neighborhood come together to refer local joints/find a lost AirPod/give landlord advice/recommend the best loaf of bread in the neighborhood is my FAVORITE pastime.
Are you in your micro-neighborhood’s “Buy Nothing“ group? Free shit!!

i like to ponder in the shower just like everyone else. tonight's shower ponder had to do with the fact that i'm in the job search process right now and it is so disheartening to have to tailor my resume to every post and just basically do the most for every single job post just to most likely receive a rejection within a few days of applying.
i started thinking about the fact that when people accomplish something difficult in life such as finding a job, owning a house, or finishing education there tends to be 2 types of thinking that come out on the other side. the 1st way of thinking is the "well i did it alone and although it was difficult, i was able to do it alone so i think everyone else should be able to do it alone if they try hard enough" the 2nd way is "i did it alone and it was hard and i recognize that there is a need for support here therefore, i would like to change the system so that other people do not have to go thru the same hardship in the same way i did." not saying that everyone thinks like this, but i feel like these are the 2 common ways of thinking that i've heard.
& basically that was ponder as i sat there waiting to wash out my leave in conditioner.

there's plenty of things i love about this platform. one of my favorites is the fact that it quite literally can keep me entertained for hours because someone posts one of their niches and i then fall in a rabbit hole on that topic. also i love listening to the artists y'all recommend because then i can expand my music taste quite a lot. you guys are cool <3
