”When systems of governance and market economies of debt are disrupted, networks of mutual aid arise”

Perhaps we should make more of an effort to help each other BEFORE times of crisis arise. Share more openly with each other. If your neighbor gives you extra veggies from their garden, make an extra loaf of bread next week to give back to them. Or better yet, just make them that loaf of bread for the hell of it. Just to be kind. Give more than you receive always and maybe we can avoid so many full on crises.

100% my mental image of the gingerbread man riding Mona’s shoulder

hey everyone!! so, just a bit of background before my weirdly specific need for these kinds of stories: i am unfortunately going through a lot in life and i’m at that stage in my life seeing friends get married, outgrow their hobbies to be more mature and find people who GET them and put them first. whereas i seem to lack that and no matter how hard i try, seems no one really wants to get me.

this isn’t to make anyone sad. I’ve come to terms with it but my bookish thought about this is if anyone has any book recs for this oddly specific feeling or situation? (AND if anyone knows a good romance where the mc puts someone first and sees them, gets them….i will love you for the end of time 🫶🏻🫶🏻) i thought maybe reading about these kinds of situations can help me feel less alone and if someone out there also understands this feeling….i get it 🩷

you know it's bad when you keep checking the progress bar and it's barely moves since you last checked....this book is so boring and pointless to me 😭😭😭😭 I'm sorryyyy 😭😭😭😭

Turning rocks into cheese is the best magic power in this book, hands down 🧀
