Pittsburgh's Creative Reuse store is a WONDER. I've wanted to get here for well over a year, with donations and to shop, and finally managed it.
The concept: people donate anything on their "want" list from fabric to old slides and folks buy them at very low prices.
Look for one in your town!

I picked up some yarn for darning & recognized these zines from Pittsburgh's Zine Fair! ("Art is Our Insides")

@susankayequinn There's one here in Seattle that's specifically focused on art supplies. It's not as big as the one you're showing, but always has neat little things to pick up. I just grabbed some embroidery thread this weekend for some #VisibleRepair projects.

@susankayequinn in #Portland, we have the ReBuilding center. Basically, all reclaimed, donated, etc. building materials for home projects.

@michaelc Nice!! I used to embroider as a kid and I'm thinking I'd like to take it up again, maybe for #visiblerepair as well. I love the intersection of art/craft and repair!

@ktneely oh, that's excellent! I've seen reclaimed building centers for Habitat for Humanity, but not a general purpose one like this... I'll have to look to see if we have something like this!

@susankayequinn Ah! You were a couple hundred steps away from their front door. It's called Construction Junction. We often hit those 2 & the co-op when over that way.

@JaminBogi haha I went to the coop directly after! But *of course* I passed the thing without even realizing it. Thanks for the heads up!!

We have a local "circulatory" here too which provides items to asylum seekers so that they can set up when they find housing. I went down the other day to donate coffee cups, a teapot and cutlery that would have gone to landfill otherwise as they weren't much good to the charity shops. Everything at the circulatory is given away free, they survive on donations and run the community fridge too. We have a cycle refurbishment place which fixes up unwanted bikes and gives them away to people who need transport too.It's amazing to know these places exist and are maintained by communities. Real hope for the future.

@susankayequinn Baltimore's craft specific donation center/ thrift shop is called Scrap, and it is delightful. I learned about it from friends working as city public school teachers. So far over the years, I have donated one sewing machine needing minor repair and about a shopping cart of inherited yarn, and in turn bought some stamps and ink and gift wrap supplies and upgrades for my circulars. Everybody wins!

@susankayequinn *sharp intake of breath* I want that card-catalogue drawer set. Like oxygen, y'know? They're so lovely and useful and library-tastic.

"Fragile, disabile, affidato allo Stato: la storia di una vita spezzata da un carcere che non cura e non protegge"
Ho letto tutto lo scritto .
Razionalmente ho capito tutto .
Socialmente , istintivamente ed emotivamente non so cosa pensare .
C'è qualcuno che mi sa indicare e aprire le porte ,
empaticamente ?
Senza dare niente per scontato ?

@hpod16 The reactions to your arrival here have been amazing, it seems people really want more EU in the Fediverse 😅
Recently, a group of MEPs wrote a letter to the EC about promoting Europe-based social networks. I think Mastodon is already primed for this role, we just need more active users (from institutions and politicians as well).
ps: by the way, it's a pleasure to meet a colleague (I work as an IT consultant for the JRC 😉)

@stranobiovolta @attualita secondo me, visto che è stata pensata da Berlusconi, è sbagliata a priori
