FOOD
Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
first aid kit
sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
sleeping bag
travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror
swiss army knife
can opener
I've decided to set a New Year’s resolution/challenge – I'm going to try to read more often (or rather read at all), and I would love to hear some book suggestions/recommendations.
All suggests and generes are welcome
Not strictly for the new year

If you are reading this, may all of your non-scrambled eggs stay non-scrambled (as you wish) and your pancakes be fluffy and delicious with every flip.
Can’t decide :)
Edit: I put watermelon sour patch kids in a peach alani and it was actually good 🙂
English is my first language until I try to read.
L'inglese è la mia prima lingua finché non provo a leggere.
Happy new year and happy birthday to every horse on the northern hemisphere
I hope all of you have a great 2025
A teacher’s audacity to look me dead in my stupid face during a Zoom class (and being able to see my screen while I’m working) and still mark me absent because I wasn’t contributing to a discussion when she checked in on our breakout room for half a second.
Do you ever think one of Cerberus heads feels neglected? 3 heads but only 2 hands.
Pensi mai che una delle teste di Cerbero si senta trascurata? 3 teste ma solo 2 mani.
Ignoring what's going on right now to write about vampires
Having fun : )
