TV and movie picker<\/strong>
With so many streaming channels out there, it\u2019s hard to keep up with what\u2019s worth watching.\u00a0A Good Movie to Watch<\/a>\u00a0is a freemium service that rates and recommends movies and shows. A premium subscription opens extra features, such as sort-by-rating. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Best scrounging<\/strong>
A world-class scrounger I know ranked the best places to find bargains for used and old stuff. He said \u201cThere are no good bargains on Ebay because sellers know the true value, and price accordingly. Facebook Marketplace has good stuff at ok prices. But if it is advertised on Craigslist, they just want to get rid of it. If you are patient you can offer 10% of asking and sometimes get it.\u201d \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Find creative reuse stores near you<\/strong>
Creative reuse stores are secondhand stores for all kinds of craft supplies. I still have drawers of specialty papers, posters, paints, and fabric from when I used to live in Oakland and frequent the\u00a0East Bay Depot<\/a>. I would pay $20 for everything I could fill up in a grocery paper bag.\u00a0Swoodsonsays.com<\/a>\u00a0keeps on top of updating a map of upcycle stores near you (in the U.S. and some outside). You can search the\u00a0Google map here<\/a>. Thanks to Margaret Cherry for sharing this with me! \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Music for programming<\/strong>
I\u2019I\u2019m not a coder, but I still like listening to the electronic instrumental songs from\u00a0Music for Programming<\/a>. The curators say they\u2019ve spent years finding the right kind of \u201ccompelling music for sustained concentration\u201d and I think they\u2019ve found it. You can listen at the website or by subscribing to the podcast. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n


How to identify a gut instinct<\/strong>
The best advice I ever got on how to trust my gut and intuition was given to me by a psychotherapist years ago. She suggested whenever I have a gut instinct \u2014 good or bad \u2014 I should first rate the intensity of my emotions from 1 to 10. If they are on the lower end of the spectrum, I\u2019m more inclined to trust my gut. Emotions \u2014 like anger, fear or insecurity \u2014 are different from Feelings, because they are usually in reaction to something external and feel like a laser that you want to point at people or things. Feelings \u2014 like profound sadness and love \u2014 are more of a state of being, and Intuition is an inner knowing. So whenever I have to distinguish one from the other, I first start by rating my emotions. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Strange images<\/strong>
The instagram account\u00a0Welcome.jpeg<\/a>\u00a0calls itself a digital museum. It\u2019s kinda art, kinda meme, kinda kitsch, kinda weirdo. It collects oddball, strange, unorthodox, found images and delivers these misfits as little visual collections. It\u2019s my guilty pleasure. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n
