maybe i’m searching for more stable support in my life that isn’t disposable, but this is my fav solution so far.
keep 2 sponges & rags/towels in your kitchen: 1 for dishes (clean sponge/rag) and one for jobs you would reserve for paper towels (dirty job sponge/rag). that dirty job squad will save you so much money on pp towels. i also just get a kick out of saying, “dirty job sponge!” when ever i have to clean something up. i’m healing from a lot of childhood trauma around neglect… searching for any morsel of joy around cleaning/taking care of myself so i can to rewire some of these neural pathways. this has helped me :’)
i.e; i’ve spilled wet cat food on the floor and used my dirty sponge to scoop up the food and wipe the floor off. and then i use my dirty rag to wipe it dry. rinse your dirty sponge rag in the sink and you just cleaned your house with out generating landfill waste 🙂↕️
disclaimer: i do use pp towels in my bathroom when i clean the top of the toilet. das it tho.

🥊It’s one of those small inexpensive changes with big impact. I know it gives 1950s housewife but hear me out.
Pros: - you can use the hottest possible water - keeps you from getting premature hand wrinkles - The lack of sensory input to your hands (water, soap, sponge, gross wet food) allows you to energetically and emotionally separate yourself from the task while you daydream, listen to a podcast, or watch something on a nearby screen. - after you’re done you take them off and it’s like you were never even there. The only evidence is a pile of clean dishes. - the threshold for how many dishes you can stand to do increases exponentially, you feel unstoppable. Maybe you shouldn’t take the gloves off yet, maybe you can also wipe down the counters…maybe also take out the garbage…unclog the shower drain. Before you know it you’ve deep cleaned your home. your hands remain obliviously soft and dry.
Cons: - they tear sometimes and you gotta replace them
I get the extra long ones so water for sure doesn’t get inside

🧤I do not feel fully clean when I emerge from a shower unless I have sandpapered a layer of skin from my whole body. For years I have ordered scrubby gloves by “the lot” and it is the only item I hoard / use daily / travel with. Gets the blood flowing. It’s also just fun and kinky to wear a single glove in the shower…

please let us be free from the commodification of the data generated from our social, whimsical, and sincere, free expression
the sincerity of this app is because it’s different from those other apps :/ why do we need metrics on how we socialize? 😮💨😮💨
i’m curious as much as i am sad about the decision to make the star count visible. is that what its proper name is? or are we calling it likes? 👀
