I recently made some liquid soap for myself to refill my soap pumps! I used a soap bar I had been gifted for the holidays that wasn’t something I was interested for in the shower. I grated it on my box grater on one of the finer sides so the soap flakes would be smaller. The smaller ones seem to dissolve better when the hot water is added. I put the flakes in a bowl with a spout and added some boiling water. I mixed it until there wasn’t anymore discernable bits in the mixture. I then poured it into this growler I thrifted recently. Overnight it’ll set into a pourable liquid soap. This way I can refill any of my soap pumps as I need them. If you can’t get liquid refills that aren’t plastic free it’s a great option. You can make as much or little as you want. My favorite part is that you can use any bar soap to make any scent you’d like. This process also gives good perspective into how much water goes into liquid products. Being able to add the water yourself saves money as you are avoiding paying for all the water weight. Has anyone else tried this? I want to try it with a solid conditioner soon as I couldn’t get it to run through my hair effectively. Send me any tips y’all got!

Potato peel chips:

I generally save my potato peels for broth, but if I already have a lot of scraps saved up already, I treat myself to some chips

Just spray a baking sheet with oil, arrange clean potato peels in a single layer, sprinkle with salt, and bake at 350⁰F for 20 min. Give them a stir, bake for another 10 min

Best eaten fresh out of the oven :)

This actually sounds so good

Learning sign language should be mandatory in all schools.

Why? Well I’m not really educated in this but like, communicating without making noise? Being more inclusive? Third language? Sounds dope to me

Random thoughts from my notes app:

Someone you will meet in the future and be close to is going through a big thing right now and you have no idea who or what.

Fun fact: Falling Fruit has a worldwide map where you can look to see if anyone has noted any fruit trees you can harvest near your location for free 🍎

A message for anyone receiving or thinking about utilizing free resources: never feel guilty for using community resources offered to you!

I recently began working at a non-profit that provides free food to community members. Some of the food we get wholesale, some is donated, and we also collect fresh produce and bakery items from supermarkets and restaurants in the area that they would otherwise throw out. We also recieve money from donors and that amount is based on how many people we serve. Many resources are set up in a similar way, including things like libraries! We want more people to come because then we can get more funding.

Yes, we have a high demand for food right now and we serve a lot of people! But at my non-profit we also have a LOT of food. Yesterday we distributed over 70 full bags of fresh produce and bread for free and we STILL had food left over. I felt guilty taking home produce for my household from the leftovers, even though we have no fresh food in a 4 person apartment. But literally every person I talked to encouraged me to take some if we could use it, since otherwise it would just become compost.

If you are afraid you're not poor enough, not desperate enough, or don't deserve help compared to other people, get that little voice out of your head and reach out to your local organizations. Any group worth their salt will know how much they can provide to each person and we can tell you what resources you could recieve. We may also point you towards other resources that may fit your specific needs. We are here to help.

People on here should know about the mutual aid app! It’s really growing in the Chicago area (created by some college students from the suburbs), and it’s also being used in ABQ, parts of Colorado, and in the Navajo Nation! Sign up folks in your area and start growing your network!

The fact that I just got ruin and rising spoiled for me on Tumblr is incredibly aggravating but not surprising.

Mental health advocacy that does not include mental illnesses besides depression and anxiety is incomplete.

[npdsafe]

People with trauma do not have to be palatable to be supported. They’re allowed to be scared, to be angry or depressed, because of the trauma they went through. Not every symptom of a disorder can be chalked up to things we already perfectly understand; trauma survivors can develop personality disorders, dissociative disorders, and other things that need just as much support and recognition as more well known ones. The emotions they experience because of trauma can be hard for them to grapple with, intense, and frightening, and they should never have to go through those things alone.

[posi-mspaint]

Having mental illness can be scary. But having those mental illness’s do not make YOU scary. Nobody is inherently dangerous because of their mental illness.

the s&b series replacing wylan with a goat is possibly the funniest thing to happen in 2021

[anneboo]

I second this.
