Awesome! I'm already sharing the link around - love pockets of discovery like this 🦇

Not sure if you'll get hits here, but Planet of the Vapes sells gently used/refurb/out of box vapes of various types. Worth checking. You can also email what you're looking for and they'll do what they can to help.

yay, thank you!

The solution for us has been the extra-clumping version of the Petco brand "Sophresh". 4" even in a plastic pan is a big help. Stainless steel is even better. When the boxes get a buildup of any kind I use pet-safe spray cleaner on the emptied interior then wipe out with paper towels.

Any chance of putting the playlist on Deezer, too? Their import function is easy.

Terra Toys will be the bigger hit. One of the few remaining independent toy stores in the nation and stellar by all standards.

You have an incredible eye for treasures and grouping, I'm very eager to see your refined collection in a more comfortable arrangement.

To get there, you have several options, but it kinda depends on how much energy/time you can expend, as you mention.

What's the timespan you'd like to accomplish this in?

How much time each day (averaged across the whole timespan) after your physical needs and responsibilities are accounted for?

If you were to break up that time by your energy levels and movement ability, how much time can be spent: being still other than sorting, reaching/lifting/carrying, letting other people know you have stuff they might want (listings/posts)...?

Do you have access to a vehicle?

Could someone come over to help in person with any part? Would someone else's presence, guidance, or direct assistance be helpful?

Is paying for any part of potential help possible?

One of my occupations is spreading the joy of unfuckening, and have learned that getting clear time perception, physical expectations, and potential assistance thoughts in order is greatly worthwhile.

Koma Kulshan (Lummi)! so majestic.

It took almost a decade for it to finally get to me, but it turned out that was mostly vit. D deficiency & craving light. I have a couple sun lamps* going and double my D3+K2 dose this time of year, now.

/* rare freebie finds, keep an eye out!

DHS /are/ the murderers, kidnappers, & thieves.

I had a nose piercing redone multiple times partially because certain jobs just wouldn't allow it. Also had bland hair (for my taste/identity) for a long time because shaved sides and colors would have kept me out of corp spaces.

There were definitely folks who challenged the mainstream in various ways and got through being themselves in spaces generally assumed hostile to individual expression, but for the most part being openly, obviously sub/counterculture limited us to a small number of paths, most not fully supportive of maintaining stability. In the USA, many of us compromised as soon as we began needing health insurance.

To me, the ones who held out and able to keep to their core personal aesthetic were admirable treasures of our scene (mostly).

I still get a bit choked up when I see us being ourselves and thriving in places otherwise committed to the status quo/banality.
