Talk to real people in your community. I have friends all across the political spectrum and class spectrum. We can disagree on many things, but we agree on most things. That’s important. Quit guzzling “news”.

After Helene, I saw how people respond to real problems. Showed me that what I was already doing really is the way. Love people. Show them love. Fuck the news, fuck the headlines, focus on your community. Stop seeding fear. That’s all it is. Be love.

I know it’s fucked, but just focus on the people around you and foster good relationships. Don’t try to understand everything they do or think that’s different from you. Just accept them where they’re at and where you’re at. Start there. It makes a huge difference. If it all goes to shit, you will have built relationships that matter.

No, that’s rot. I’m a woodworker who has reclaimed thousands of board feet of barnwood and also has lived in a house that had termites. That is rot.

When did they do that? Maybe it’s confabulation, but I could swear I’ve seen commercials on streaming in the last year.

I’ve had a bidet since right before COVID (coincidentally and conveniently,) so maybe I’m just confused. It was surprising when I found out there was a toilet paper shortage in the US, then finally seeing the empty shelves, but checked the cabinet and after seeing a few rolls realized we were fine for a while. At least a dozen friends installed them soon after based on our feedback, and I know of at least three dozen through them. All bidet, e’ry bidet!

Dante’s Divine Comedy is read similarly. Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso

That can be very confusing for a young person, I agree

She’s buying sex toys. Honestly, I think it’s okay to normalize it. Self sex is the safest and teaches a person a lot about themselves. At least he’s not being raised Southern Baptist (I hope.)

Edit: what perspective is the person who took the picture coming from? Feels judgy

It’s a requirement of publication. This isn’t like a book review.

The effects of how this bothers you places you in the group of people you’re bothered by.

I use my bandsaw the most in my shop (maybe second to the sander now that I think of it.) I’ve had a scroll saw I got from my dad’s shop that may have come from my grandpa’s. Weighs a ton. I’ve had it ten years and never used it.

Scroll saw would be more effective for this, but the bandsaw would be more versatile.
