people often spend too much money on things they can make with patience, for example any single panel of wood used for any need like a shelf. u can pick up a peice of wood from loads of places and just varnish it/paint it however u want. dont fall for predatory consumerism !!!1 but carpentery

anyone can do it , everyone should build their shelter, you can finance at Lowe’s, it’s good to get tiny cuts on your hands, you’ll end up with tools you didn’t have before, you’ll have something obvious to ask for help for, and in turn will get better at asking for help

Most of the time you can fix your car yourself. Or build that shelf yourself. I ended up making my own bedframe after moving because I didn’t want to rent a UHaul, checking out tools from the Chicago Tool Library. Even if you think you don’t have the skills now, learning to do it will save you money in the future

For Christmas this year, Nicole bought me a beautiful woodworking bench (for those interested - Rockler beech wood bench), and I’ve been working to set that space up perfectly. That process for me began with acquiring the missing “basic” tools and giving them a home that keeps them easy to get but also out of the way. I found that, as someone who often prioritizes form and beauty, I’m drawn to a lot of used, vintage, and curated supplies. As an example, I use one of the old Stanley Powerlocks as a tape measure, and my go-to screwdriver is an old Wilde one kind of like this. For more of a “curated but new” feel I often find myself browsing Yuns, a cool little hardware shop that has a very focused small collection of reliable and high-value products. And finally — to provide the arsenal a resting place, I took my classic yellow dewalt hammer drill to the concrete and mounted a pegboard.

seriously, what a beautiful thing. i just emerged from one, oh a warm fountain of clean water. it's a real luxury. and a nice oil or lotion and a facial moisturiser. clean pyjamas. what a rejuvenating and lovely thing.

poetry by defintion is a vibes based genre. its not about gframmar or logic but getting the vibes/emtoiom out so just read a poem and if u get something without knowing every single word or understanding all the metaphors then the vibe is there
