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.

@iswyrm @betelgeuse93 @giochi sarà che lo giocano anche al di fuori della Svezia?

@betelgeuse93 @fucinafibonacci @giochi Mi sono chiesto la stessa cosa su che cosa centrano gli Svedesi, che stanno dall'altra parte dell'oceano, sul fatto che una fetta di americani è schizzata di testa.
Ma se non ci tiravano fuori la sviolinata non sapevano come farci un articolo. 😏Cmq si per Crusader king...

After deep thinking, I've designed a satisfying solution and broke it down into 4 issues:
Annotations system (#83): Low-level primitive that allows passing runtime context to parsers via parse() options
SourceContext interface (#85): High-level system for composing multiple data sources (env, config, etc.) with clear priority ordering via runWith()
@optique/config (#84): Configuration file support with Standard Schema validation (Zod, Valibot, etc.)
@optique/env (#86): Environment variables support with automatic type conversion
The key insight: use a two-pass parsing approach where the first pass extracts the config file path, then the second pass runs with config data injected as annotations. All sources can be composed together with runWith([envContext, configContext]) for automatic priority handling: CLI > environment variables > configuration file > default values.
