That’s a good suggestion, and I will look

I feel that. I’m currently using a laptop from like 2017 (with a 1050) and honestly… if it dies, I’m pretty well hosed.

See, that’s real prep, not buying 2,000 cans of beans and 20k in ammo :D

I can’t afford to get any real last-minute stuff, unfortunately. What I did do was stock up on rice and the spices that I largely use, and got some new shoes from walmart earlier than I normally would.

I put off the things I had been saving for (like a vero v), canceled everything but my basic phone service, and I’ll be seeing how much stuff I can get by with repairing/cobbling.

What’s sad is that the billionaires who control the only grocery options for 90 miles will be getting a LOT more of my income, and the small businesses (music stores, thrift stores, things like that) will be getting left. Thereby amplifying the wealth extraction already happening.

F this, and f everyone who voted for it.

Probably my faves. There’s a few others on pixelfed/mastodon that I follow as well, but more special interest
