Nine my beloved.

Three systems that can help your neighborhood.

If you want a way to help out people in your area that has little-to-no interaction with said people, I have three options for you.

📚 Tiny Library 📚

While real libraries are vitally important, they are not always in an available distance to communities. That’s where the tiny libraries come in: they put books directly into communities.

They work on the honor code, so there is no fear of fees, and people can add new books if they wish.

They can come in many forms, such as:

Taking over an unused space, such as a phone box

Having a weather-proof box built and placed in a park or in your front yard.

Having a bookshelf/bookcase placed in an indoor space: such as an apartment lobby, a rec center, or a community center.

Essentially, all you need is something that will safely hold the books (I have even seen altered fridges and microwaves), and books. Some of these lend more than books, too. For example, some have movies, video games, or craft supplies.

If you want to be extra fancy, you can buy stamps online with the address of your tiny library to mark the books and items donated, or you can just let things be.

If you live in an apartment, you may be able to get permission to put one of these in the lobby. Otherwise, you could talk to officials about putting one in a park.

🥫 Tiny Pantry 🥫

Just like tiny libraries, these are showing up in my neighborhood too.

Accidentally bought a soup you don’t like? With a tiny pantry in your community, you can make it available to people who do like it, as well as people who you might not realize are in need.

All it takes is a weather-proof box for non-perishable items, but some people who have these on their own properties even add a (properly protected) fridge. Either way, this addition can make a huge difference to communities.

One suggestion I have is to not get angry if you find one empty(I have seen posts ranting about this online). Instead, assume someone really needed the items, and add more.

If you live in an apartment, you may be able to get permission to put one of these in the lobby.

⚒️ Tool Library ⚒️

Not only are tools expensive, but not everyone has the space for them. On the flip side, some people suddenly have tools that they don’t know what to do with (such as when a loved one passes away). With a tool library, people can donate those tools for the community to use.

It is not all construction tools, either. It could be crafting tools (example: jewelry making tools) so you can try out a new hobby without having to purchase and store everything, or even an appliance you don't need all the time (example: a carpet cleaner).

Here are some different setups I have seen:

Actual Libraries: Some community libraries have started lending tools the same way they do for books. You can suggest this to your own local library.

Apartment Hall Closets: Some people can convince their apartments to let them take over an unused space.

Community Sheds: Some small villages have a community shed run on the honor code

Tool "Library" Shops: in some places, tool "libraries" are popping up that have actual staff, but are not connected to book libraries. For some of these, you rent the items with money, instead of lending them for free once you have a library card. For that reason, I personally think of these as rental shops, rather than libraries.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but thank you to the chef that decided to do rainbow frosting on the chocolate cake at the dining hall tonight. That was really nice to see.

What happened to Nine, Ten and Hubble??

Juice!!! I don't know if this is acceptable to ask, but what do you remember about nine, ten, and hubble? Do you remember just them?

.ohhhhhh boy do I have a little something for you.... first off! this is perfectly acceptable to ask, I love talking i will talk forever if you let me, second, please ask me about things you want to know about. i love filling people with information.

Nine, nine nine nine... boy oh boy. I remember Nine incredibly fondly.. so so fondly. they were never shy to ask questions or talk your ear off about anything that interested them. Nine picked this up from me i fear, afterall in my source what they were woken up to was me rambling about the similarities between football and the meaning of life itself, which, now looking back on it im pretty sure i was going insane, but thats fine we all have our moments up there. Nine was very loving and super duper willing to listen to anything youd want to yap about. Nine had an admiration for the savannah and liked to watch nature documentaries when they were bored. I do remember them freaking out about poaching/illegal hunting back in the day when it still happened when animals werent as protected as they were in the present (my present, in source). Nine was also fascinated about their sister, sometimes thinking about who was actually older and asking me what i thought, i think they came to the conclusion that ten was the older sister due to being more mature(??) i forgot the exact wording they used,. Nine was mentally about 13 when they first woke up, ten being mentally middle aged(?) actually. i dont know. she's mom friend to me.

Ten, i really liked hanging out with her, she was super comforting to me, dispite waking up a few hundered years after me, me and hubble tried our best to like, introduce her to the terrible life of living among the stars and being conceptually trapped forever, but she took it well and also like, stepped up. she was super responsible and always took the lead (when i wasnt fucking off LOL). She learned to open up and take down her walls, i liked the times she got careless and free and open, it gave me closure, made me feel? real almost. I dont know how to describe it but she was super important to me. thanks Ten for being number one. Hubble, uhhmmmm not much to say about Hubble, quiet, kept to himself often, shared pictures that were in UNGODLY large data files that made you nauseous when you opened them too fast, then youre BLASTED with like over 300 pictures of the same place on like, earth or something, got one(data pack full) of pluto and apparently it was so interesting that there were over 5000 pictures alone of the same fucking crater they thought was "geologically groundbreaking" whatever the hell that means. I remembered Hubble linking me random human articles that made no sense, of course i loved them but one of them was so incomprehensible that i had to spend a few days deciphering what the author COULD HAVE meant, i dont think i ever broke their heinous code of words but its fine im not too worried about it (i AM so worried about it. no one can replicate A SINGLE fucking word that was in that article.). Love my-in-source-hubble, thank you for being that autistic man that knows everything ever and if youre like "hey hubble whats (something he doesnt know)" and he gets anxious and starts researching like crazy then comes back after a few like weeks and goes "so, your question from last week, i did a little research and actually, did you know that-" and starts talking. i love my selective mutism boyfriend so much. someone get this guy a dictionary and an inhaler

Tapping the sign.

"I don't know if anyone's told you this, but to be queer is to be unlimited. We don't have to be 'or'-- we can be 'and'. Isn't that magical? So, if you're queer and you're in this room: we love you and we thank you. If you're an ally and you're in this room: we love you and we thank you. If you're neither of those and you're in this room: you're in the wrong room."
