Have watched enough videos on How To Insulate Basement Rim Joists for today.
A good collage night could fix me. Tons of vintage magazines. Very sharp scissors. Quiet music & friends. 🤤

Erin Dorney@erindorney.bsky.social · 2w agoDo you make labels to send new books to the Ingram warehouse? I need help! I need to figure out how to make this guy, then send as PDF to the printer, who will then ship books directly to the warehouse. I've read p.14 of the Inbound Shipping & Warehouse Guide & asked Pub Care & I still need help.
If you live in the Adirondack region, I'll be leading a free zine workshop up there next week! August 6 @ 5PM at the Wilmington Public Library 💫 All are welcome!

Would it be bad/frowned on to move the email addresses of folks who are signing up for my Substack shell (no newsletter there but also no way to stop them from signing up) to my actual newsletter in Mailchimp?
AQI here is 186-212 depending on where you check. Have been inside all day with windows closed, 2 air purifiers running, and my eyes are really hurting.

Anyone have advice on level 2 EV chargers for home? We're getting a used Chevy Bolt with a replaced battery. Hardwire or plug in? Emporia or the basic cord thingy that comes with the car? We are new to this.
I want our next Dem president to bring back the WPA and just build infrastructure all across this country again. Build green energy, trains, housing, etc. We can have nice things (and nice bathrooms), but we have to invest in ourselves!
Vic Thorstenson@vthorstenson.bsky.social · 4w agoMan, nobody could build a shithouse like the WPA.
Still looking to get off the Squarespace train (wild price increase coming in 1 month). Carrd only allows 1 page (my current site has ~20); Wix seems 👎; mmm.page is fun but also kind of stresses me out; neocities is cool but it's gonna take me forever to make 20 pages with basic html skills... cont.

What are the coolest things you can imagine a rural community park having? My list so far: public fruit, DIY rug washing station, community bulletin board (surprisingly rare out here), beehives/pollinator garden, composting, Narcan, bike share, free & clean ADA toilet, public art.
I think moving back to the place I grew up is a great adventure to my spouse - it's a brand new place to explore, which we are good at after moving together so many time. For me, not so much. It's complicated. Many feelings. Weird.
Tis the season of too many zucchini and yellow squash... send me your recipes!
It's the tiniest bit of a pain in the ass—and it's important to remember to undo it before you try to get a loan, obviously—but you can and should freeze your credit at Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. It's free, and it prevents identity thieves from getting accounts in your name. #adulting
Tyler is watching Obsession. I read the Wikipedia plot and I am terrified / hiding in the other room with headphones.
