This video shows how to cut up plastic bags to make plarn. It takes a while but it's easy to do while watching or listening to something. For the bag, I followed this video.

I haven't managed to count but I'm going through bags really quickly doing this. That bag was probably 2/3 of all the white plastic bags I've collected over the years.

That's pretty standard for any abusive relationship. The abuser usually waits until they feel like their partner can't escape before they become awful.

I'm always waiting for my husband, too. Drives me nuts.

The Amish community I know aren't super strict. They use gas farm equipment and are fine with solar batteries. They just don't want to be on the power grid.

I have a family of four in a 1000sq ft house and it's honestly perfect. Any bigger would be too much work for me.

I'm the worst at backups...

I still have my CRT and old game consoles and use them sometimes. The blurriness with the games doesn't bother me, but maybe a movie would be worse. I am constantly forgetting my glasses though so I'm kind of used to blurry. I still might grab a VCR if I see one, though, just to show my children what it was like when I was a kid. Could be fun.

Ever since Disney announced they are also going to ban account sharing, I've been going to thrift stores and grabbing any DVDs my children like or might like. I've gotten quite a few classics so far for less than the cost of one month of Disney+. I almost bought a VCR because the VHS collection at thrift stores here is huge and they are so cheap, but rewinding sucks.

My small Canadian town, where most people drive a massive pickup truck everywhere, has started considering improving transit and introducing car-free areas. Things are changing.

I worked as a baker for a couple years about ten years ago. During the summer, whenever it was raining, we would all take turns going out to stand in the rain for a minute just to cool off. I don't want to imagine what worse would feel like.

When something is your job, you usually don't want to keep doing it when you get home.
