Reselling stuff gets a bit wishywashy ethically and it can be super stressful to invest in an inventory and then have to resell to get your money back (+profits). Do you have a special interest? Mine is plants so I do gardening, forestry, forestry, and horticulture jobs. I’m not great with people because I have a hard time with facial expressions and tones but it’s mostly independent, just me and plants

If you don’t know what to sell yet that’s your first problem to sort. If you make things as a hobby you could do that, but if not you might want to see if your community has any neurospicey support groups. They can find jobs that you enjoy, provide some training, and help with the admin side of things. Places like repair cafes, small stores, quiet sorting at donation stations. Clear rules and environments with accommodations made for overstimulation or communication support.

It might end up less stressful and more fulfilling than trying to set up your own shop.

Definitely make a post! I want to make a mega doc with resources we can put in the group bio.

I want to give it the bread crust tappies! Looks yum 😊

That’s pretty special

So cute! Do you get a lot of them around?

Your garden looks beautiful! I would be stoked if i was your neighbour

Could also be the stress from moving and pruning. They’ll probably look better after a day or two with their regular watering routine

I just have one of those times for andriod that tells me I’m done for the day. I can click add 10 minutes if I’m in the middle of something like making a post or messaging a friend but I generally just accept it and tune in again the next day. Things are more fun when they’re finite

Yus! There are soooo many of them. So soft. Such sharp claws

I really enjoy other social medias like tiktok and instagram but I’m really intentional about how I use them. I only consume and interact with content that brings me joy. I use it to stay in touch with friends so that means making sure I talk with them, interact with their posts, and show them some love. I don’t engage with trolls or haters but i will try and have a discussion with people who seem genuinely curious, confused, or open to other view points and not hostile. I try not to spend more than an hour on the both of the consuming content a day (usually spread out while i wait for the sun, at lunch, and before bed.) I love to create silly videos about crafts, gardening, and baking so I like to post those but I find I will get sucked into scrolling and not do all the things I love if I don’t set limits.

Beehaw is great because it’s not so busy I have to spend a long time catching up and I have already ran into so many friendly people with similar, positive interests. I really want this space to be something that adds to my life and so far it has. I’ve got a new kombucha guide to try, more info on how to organise community projects, crafty friends to share projects with, and even some info on how to fix my oven! Beehaw is different than the other social medias as it’s a place that’s very conversation focused. Its smaller than reddit making it feel more accessible as comments don’t get drowned out in busy threads. Tiktok has character limits that doesn’t allow for real conversations and instagrams feed is usually outdated and full of sponsored or irrelevant content so I really just stick to stories. This is my new favourite space but I still enjoy the others for different reasons

They are an invasive pest here so I didn’t so much buy it as I did drive-by it 👀 jokes it was as humane as pest removal to save our native flora and fauna can be.

When you do, please post a write up in diy so I can build one too 🥰

I will! I have to finish up a few more projects but end of winter i should have the time to spin up all the wool i have been hoarding haha. I also have a bag of possum i want to blend in

Gorgeous colour way! I love how warm all those shade of orange look together 10/10 would make cozy socks.

I spin as well but I’m not a professional or anything, just a girl with a wheel and some woolly friends

I love the wooden slats at the bottom. Do you find they get slippy at all?

I really love how matte/real-world this looks! It could be a character in a super cute kids show.

I really love how matte and real-world this looks. Like a wee claymation. You could make a really cute kids show with this style

I’ll start putting something together this weekend and then send it through to you if that’s okay? There’s no deadline so no pressure but I would really appreciate all the advice you can give us!

Love the mahi! I can imagine the political climate makes se of these harder to organise than they should be but also makes their existence even more important. You have so much great advice in here I should put together a mega doc for this sub with the info in your post and all the handy links people are sharing here. Would thay be okay?
