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!!

your neighborhood probably has one..meet neighbors, clean or hoard, spend no $
it's a great way to go on walks to different parts of town with a destination in mind. my god what an adrenaline rush, too....competing with other interested people for a carton of eggs can be bleak @ times but has also convinced me that i'd be a gambling addict if given ample opportunity....feels great to win
in the past 5 years i've gifted or received:
-beer
-guitar
-plants
-hemp seeds
-patio furniture
-tampons
-500 pounds of dog food
-skincare shiz
amongst various other things

after five years of grad school and subsequent job search, i can finally say i have successfully changed careers 😭 i start my new job counseling kids at a community mental health clinic on Monday. yesterday was my last shift at the grocery store that was an escape from my horrible corporate job and a sustaining force throughout grad school. it’s so bittersweet to leave the sweetest coworkers i’ve ever had and the most fun i’ve had at work. it’s immeasurably healing to quit a job for only good reasons. my coworkers got me a cake, everyone wrote notes in a card, and the goodbyes throughout the day made my heart swell. i even got to tell the good news to my favorite instacarter 🥺 after i clocked out for the last time, my friends joined me for gelato at the cafe and we strolled the store for a final time, this time as simply a loyal customer.

i made strawberry shortcakes and three kinds of iced teas (ginger peach green tea, lemon black tea, and ginger hibiscus rooibos), and my roommate made bruschetta! then we played Rummy and 9-card Golf for like four hours. i’m so sleepy and content :)
