Sometimes I get back looking like I robbed someone poor dudes garden lol

Don’t worry tho no garden robbing occurred, just the awful wastefulness and mismanagement of ressources of our society

I can't wait to see what the new year brings the Valentino Family! We're almost to generation 2~!

I finally got 2 folding shopping carts!

It took my neighbor moving out and some interacting with someone who somehow knew her via my partner, bc he gets involved with the most interesting people somehow, to get them. One is smaller and is in near perfect condition, and the bigger one needs bars replaced. It may need a replacement something for the handle.

We got a lot of stuff from her unit, too! She’s not coming back to this unit sense she’s going to prison (long long story) and it’s saving us a lot of $$ in the long run. The original plan was to go to some of the thrift stores that I know for sure have cutlery and other miscellaneous objects up for grabs. $30 of gas and maybe $20 for the stuff we’d want makes $50 of money that we can keep in our pockets.

From today, we got; bowls (Pyrex), umbrellas, more milk crates, clothing/pants (not for me, for a friend), a blanket, round head forms (for my ‘adult’ gear), little bit of bleach, polyfill bag, & spools of sewing thread!

Edit: forgot to mention we got lotion and a working ring light!

Am I still vegan if I eat others left overs? I work and clean dishes at a non vegan restaurant I sometimes will take and eat if there is leftover form the plate, this food would have otherwise just go in the trash, yes I know it’s gross and unsanitary but money is a big struggle at the moment so if I can get a free meal that big money save that I need. All other food I buy and eat is vegan

Veganism is about doing whatever is possible and practicable to avoid animal exploitation, but only you know if you are doing that.

If you afford to not eat leftover animal products, then in my view you should avoid eating them. If these leftovers represent a necessity for you then that would be something you just did not have any real choice in, so whenever you did have the choice, you'd be buying and eating vegan. There are no easy black and white answers to situations like this, especially not when it comes to food poverty or accessibility.

If you are in a situation where you can't eat 100% plant-based right now, despite you doing everything reasonably in your power to do so, then you are still vegan without a doubt. But again, I am no kind of authority on that, only you know what is possible and practicable for you.

Life gets slightly better when I remember that there is a stream near the unit I live in so that means I don’t gotta pay more for water to wash clothes 😜

Some dumpster highlights from today, because I felt weird about arranging stuff for a photo with my roommate watching tv in the living room:

Frozen-solid meat, veggies, and dumplings

Freshly-abandoned orange juice

Pasta sauce

Tortilla chips

Flour, brown sugar

Pocky

Sponges, garbage bags, ziplocks

So much tea and ramen

Instant rice, mac & cheese

A bag of apples

just added two locations to this today so i wanted to remind everyone about fallingfruit. it's a collaborative, community driven map of edible forage with pinpoints all around the world directing you to wild edibles growing in your area.

some places have more pins, some have less. if there's not many in your area and you know somewhere that wild forage grows, add it! you don't need an account and can remain completely anonymous while enabling others in your area to collect fresh food that may otherwise not be noticed or enjoyed by anyone, and you may find some spots where you live that you didn't know about before :)

Generation 2 officially kicks off!

[dumpster-divers-unite]

I just tried to look in the dumpsters again then found a real burlap rice sack in the wayy back of one of them 👀 I was just looking for some wire hangers to repair the larger shopping cart.

Then there was a… raccoon, I want to say? In the bottom of the opposite (left) dump. I think I scared it by talkin real loud. It didn’t move too much so idk if it was alright or if I just scared it? They cut down a HUGE section of a wooded area near me not too long ago so it wouldn’t shock me too much if the raccoons are having to switch tactics. If the sack is still there tomorrow you can bet I’ll be hopping in there to get it!!
