  • I had to get new summer clothes from the thrift store recently too. I managed to score two pairs of shorts and a pair of pants, all in a linen-rayon blend, which is my favorite fabric - natural fibers, keeps me cool but has some softness and drape!

    I’ve also started a new hobby recently (beading with seed beads and pony beads) and so far I have bought only one pack of beads new. Everything else has been thrifted or found on Depop/Facebook marketplace so I’m pretty happy with that. I’m a creative by nature but I hate how many creative hobbies involve buying a ton of brand new supplies (especially when so many of us are ready to share or offload)



  • The connections we have with individual people, as individuals, are world-changing. Think small. Don’t think about fixing the world, think about fixing things for your loved ones, your local community, your town, etc.

    There’s an idea I read about recently in Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown which says to consider a flock of starlings, wheeling and swooping above a field. There is no leader; each starling acts only in accordance with the starlings that are nearby, yet all together they create a beautiful, intricate, coordinated pattern.

    Be a starling and act according to your nearby starlings. Change is made by a thousand small actions, a thousand small starlings becoming a whole flock. I don 't think I’m doing the idea justice here, but it’s brought me a lot of comfort <3
