I hand/delicate wash most of my clothes.(esp nice tshirts and oxfords) it prolongs the life of your stuff 10x - never understood people that said it’s “too much” (sounds lazy to me) Sometimes you just need to hit your shirt collars and sleeves after wear or before you throw it in the washing machine. The bar and brush are both small so I can bring them with me when I travel. (Sometimes I'll just get a new bar as part of my travel checklist, it makes my luggage smell good too!) I try to keep one in my car, at the store, office, etc. Just in case of emergencies.

Never run out of clean things to wear, don’t have smelly clothes in your luggage, and still travel light!
I often use the hotel sink and hand soap, but if I know there’s serious washing going to be needed, I travel with a ziplock bag of white powder (detergent, of course 😇)

Being a laundress used to be an important vocation in society.

Great for delicates or if you’re in a pinch and need a small pile of clothes washed promptly. I take apart my old swiffer handle and use the rubber end to swirl the articles around with hot water and a small splash of detergent. Effective and fun! And definitely saves me a few bucks here and there because tragically I suffer from having coin operated laundry in my building

A lot of music I listen to is only available on youtube - Most of the bands were small DIY bands that just made tapes or a 7” that you can’t find anywhere. So I'm thankful for the people that have ripped these to the internet for me and plenty of other people to discover. Bulldoze was a band from NY formed in the early 90’s that pioneered the “beatdown” style blahblahblah. Many have tried (and failed) to create a demo as good as this. Since it’s been available on streaming platforms I listen to it on my commute at least once a week. I love reading the comments from the last couple of generations talking about memories they have of the bands who got stabbed at what show and whatever. Greatest of all time shit for me.(1:53 for what really gets me going)

Have you ever heard that thing in NYC about barbers? Apparently you shouldn’t share that information with anyone because the next time you go to see them they won't be able to see you. Not 100% sure if that tracks ATM but I love my barber. I get a haircut at least once a week. (if I have the time once every five days) I keep a tight fade and because it’s so short it grows fast. A good haircut and beard trim is hands down one of the best feelings in the world. Fresh haircut right before the weekend? *Pop Smoke voice* I feel invincible

Look, it’s probably not *that* cool for me to suggest things made by the company I work for but if I didn’t love em I wouldn’t work for em so fuck it we ball
