  1. A quotation from Shaw

    When you see a rich man’s wife (or anyone else’s wife) shaking her head over the thriftlessness of the poor because they do not all save, pity the lady’s ignorance; but do not irritate the poor by repeating her nonsense to them.

    George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic
    The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism and Capitalism, ch. 2 (1928)

  11. Today on #TreasureHuntTuesday I found storage. Found a square rolling cart with a large central cavity and lots of pockets that fits all my bookbinding supplies so I can wheel it out of my studio until I need it. Also found three plastic sets of drawers for $4 US each: perfect for out-of-sight basement storage. I also found a set of shelves to hold machines I rarely use until I need them. This freed up space I can use for everyday purposes in my studio. #reuse #repurpose #thrift

  21. #classics #books #thrift #lol
    Something here doesn't quite belong, or perhaps, it's the wisest of the classics.

  22. Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty.  But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting.  It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less. 
    ~Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Under Socialism

  23. Another banner #TreasureHuntTuesday. A few things I got were new (bread slicer, yet another cocktail smoker, a cold brew coffee maker) but also found some good Pyrex, metal pans that fit my air fryer, quirky coffee mugs and some nice glassware. I'll probably make a leather case for the smoker and offer it at my next crafts fair. #reuse #repurpose #thrift

  29. Grabbed this #CD at a #thrift shop based on nothing but the cover and track listing hoping it would be fun and punky, and not some sort of millenial cringe.

    Happy to report it's like The Dead Kennedy's meet They Might Be Giants.

    The track "Technical" feels like a bit of an anthem for my fellow #fediverse nerds.
