now at an age where i just wanna MAKE shit. bread. candles. baskets. birdhouses. the world isn't my oyster, it's my deluxe lego set.

alternate narrative: it’s actually fine if someone found me a little weird or even off-putting. i am a little weird and it’s no big deal

supporting questions: how many genuinely delightful people who you like spending time with are, themselves, a little weird? perhaps even capable of being interpreted as off-putting? would you characterize those peoples’ weirdness as inherently bad, or something that makes you not want to be around them? or do enjoy their weirdness because that’s part of who they are? if someone came up to you and was like, “ew, that friend of yours is so weird, what’s their problem” how would you react?

I say this as someone who works at a nonprofit: the attitude “someone who has nothing will be grateful for anything” is harmful and dehumanizing when it’s used to justify donating something ripped, stained, or expired to someone less fortunate.

Homeless people deserve clothing with good structural integrity. Victims of house fires deserve linens that are free of stains. No one should have to eat expired food. It’s disrespectful to give people scraps when they’re already hurting.

Please, out of respect for your fellow humans, check the dates on your food donations before you drop them off.

here's hoping people never stop asking
