Hiya

Something that I have noticed is I know almost nobody my age that goes to a food pantry. I know people who regularly run out of money for food and in general have to eat an unsuitable diet because that’s what they can afford and they still don’t go to a food bank, im not sure if it’s because they’re embarrassed or maybe if you didn’t grow up going you don’t know much about it but if you’re financially struggling I really recommend it. And look into other options for food assistance too like community fridges and gardens and other programs that can assist you, where I live Salvation Army pays for an allotted amount of grocery delivery for low income people every month, in the summer farmers take excess produce to the library to be taken by anyone who needs it, etc. There are a LOT of resources for free food that you can look into especially if you are literally not eating because of your financial situation

Btw if you have dietary restrictions you can often let them know and in many cases they’ll prioritize certain items for you

One of the best things I've done for myself as a disabled person is get rid of my shame around sitting or laying in weird places. Bathroom floor? Check. Random sidewalk? Check. Lobbies of various professional buildings? So many checks. It is not embarrassing or shameful for me to take care of my body but it is embarrassing for architects and city designers to value appearances over accessibility

no no obviously i [poisons you] think that we need to understand where these works of philosophy [poisons you] are coming from. like understanding the desiderata is important to navigating the [poisons you] emotional landscape of modern life. it's just that [poisons you] these texts are often so separated from the work of actually feeling desire [poisons you] that you start to approach the act of being alive almost like a socio - [poisons you] [poisons you] [poisons you] - path. it takes all the fun out of it, you know. hey are you listening to me lol. [poisons you]

There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources

another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this
