Today’s newsletter is partially paywalled! Paid subscriptions support the time and care that go into creating magic in this little corner of the internet while also giving back to community-focused causes (and give you access to even more vintage and my entire archive!)

✿ ✿ ✿ This month, a portion of paid subscriptions will go to Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC), an all-volunteer, grassroots, multiracial, and multinational immigrant rights mass-movement organization. MIRAC fights for legalization for all, an end to immigration raids and deportations, an end to all anti-immigrant laws, and full equality in all areas of life. ✿ ✿ ✿

Happy weekend, friends — I hope this dispatch finds you safe and warm, avoiding the bitter cold that is currently blowing across the US. This week’s round-up is focused on finds that go along with my latest newsletter all about moving your body! If you missed it, you can catch up here:

I cannot deny that it’s been hard to focus my attention to this space as my community here in Minneapolis continues to be terrorized by this fascist, terrorist, vile occupation.

But I do believe that through small and simple things great things can come to pass, which is why today and tomorrow I’ll be donating any revenue from upgraded annual paid subscriptions to various mutual aid funds that are supporting my neighbors here in the Twin Cities.

Consider upgrading to an annual subscription if you want to show your support for my work and have access to more vintage finds! I promise to make it worth it.

If you’re looking for other ways to help, I would highly recommend checking out this vetted list of trusted ways to support Minneapolis and this reddit thread.

Welcome to the “The Dump” — a round-up of curated vintage, secondhand, or handmade things I have bookmarked from around the internet that are looking for a new place to call home.

Swoop up the treasures, share it with your friends, let it inspire a secondhand hunt of your own (love something that sold already? Look at the similar items! Look at the search terms! Lowball a seller that allows offers! Go down a rabbit hole!) and join in on saving something from ending up in “the dump.”
