I wish I’d had @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com advice when I was in my twenties and thirties. He’s the fairy godfather of common sense that my old “shop till you drop” impulses needed back then.
Stay calm today. Use a list, don’t let them tweak your impulse spending nipples. Buy what you need and want not what they want you to buy. My annual Black Friday warning…

What the heck. This makes me wonder if @fossilheads.bsky.social have somehow sucked my inner monologue out of my head. Indeed, Merry Crisis, all.
Already sick of Consumeristmas? MERRY CRISIS! We made this song to remind ourselves we can invent our own ways to show our loved ones we care about them that feel more appropriate to the times we are living in than just hitting the usual overspend button www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDjh...

Plastic – toxic, polluting and very, very big business
Plastic is endemic. It’s everywhere. It’s cheap. It’s versatile. It's toxic. It might even kill us.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

I learned to read at a young age.
The library was my magical special place. I was invincible there.
