aka a box of all of the things you would need (stuff like a set or two of dishes, hair dryer, scissors, etc) within the first day or two of moving and unpacking. in addition to labeling boxes; that way, when you arrive you don’t have open all sorts of boxes to get those few different things!

For me, it would be easier to pack a box than a bag, butyou’re going to be schlepping stuff and bags might be easier.
If you want boxes, ask your local convenience stores, and Trader Joe’s usually has wine boxes you can take. Also check Craigslist or FB or what have you and see if people are giving away their moving boxes.

Whenever I’ve moved or help someone move, it’s usually a joint effort - grab a few trusted friends and buy a few pizzas and a case of beer in exchange for their help. Stock up on moving boxes and packing tape at Uhaul and rent a van if you need to
if you want to get rid of stuff, give some things away to them if they want it!

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
