Reminder: now's a good time to clear out stuff you don't use anymore. Everybody's broke & buying stuff for the holidays. Drop good stuff to thrift stores/ buy nothing/fb marketplace BEFORE the holidays hit.

It's good for climate & just being nice to each other.

I'm clearing out old cameras today.

If you shop in a charity shop, every day is Black Friday. You can also get gift vouchers for charity shops which is a lovely sustainable and ethical present choice.
