It’s, I have no Tupperware. Nothing to put an onion into after I cut a bit off, to keep it fresh. No foil, no ziploc bags. My $ sitch is that bad right now. I have $60 to last me til September 3. Hence, why I probably sound stupid and clueless right now.


Was worried about buying onions, peppers, and them going bad too quickly. One onion, one bell pepper. That will work


Non dairy creamer, awesome. Wouldn’t have thought of that


Exactly the kind of tips I’m looking for. Tks!


Easy DIY pasta sauce?
I'm trying to learn to buy groceries, cook for myself again. Can't afford to buy and keep produce. Limited cookware. So, any recipe telling me to crush garlic, dice onions, etc, can't do. Need budget, ghetto, for people on a fixed income, easy no frills way to make diy tomato paste pasta sauce. Good suggestions so far. Tks. I have 1 bowl, 1 plate, 1 spoon, 1 fork, 1 butter knife ; 1 small sauce pan; Only stores nearby are corner stores. Hardly any produce. Having to make due with what you can find in a liquor store.

Depression is circumstantial, been trapped in overcrowded slums below poverty level. What I need is a safe, clean, stable place to live, and help finding a job. Instead I’m surrounded by drug addicts, screaming, violence, overcrowding, filth; social services meager, bureaucratic and strained. It wears one down.

I need society to be better


Mists of avalon, by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Was questioning the faith I’d been raised in, and reading this book, a feminist retelling of Arthurian fantasy, as a teen… it clicked, that religion is subjective


Namaste. Anyone I’ve met who uses that word has always turned out to be a preachy, holier than thou, self involved tool.


Anybody on the autism spectrum just laughs sadly, shakes head quietly, when told ‘just be your self’


There’s one like it in the sf bay area. Called Oakland technology exchange East.


If these items still work, there’s lots of people in homeless shelters who’d be grateful. Maybe dump small box in front of shelter during day, or ask staff if any of their clients could use them

When my laptops die, I take them apart to find the hard drive, which I then turn to an external drive. Just put it inside an enclosure, good to go.

Try checking out laptop repair stores, not big chains. The mom n pop ones. Often they can use parts.

And, cuz I’m weird, sometimes I disassemble, turn them into art, as part of larger mixed media projects.

Where I live, there’s a nonprofit that takes old electronics and laptops, has volunteers repair them, who get work experience. Worthy cause
