 it's always a good idea to wear multiple layers, especially when it's decently
 cold out.
 
 make sure they're different colors. Ideally, one layer totally black, the
 other completely colorful.
 
 then if you ever need to you can strip one layer and become someone else.
 They're just clothes, they grow on trees in stores.
 
 speaking of stores, if you're ever going to do anything spicy, make sure you
 wear that outfit exactly once, unless it's all black. Jeans are okay too since
 they all usually look pretty similar.

 When you run out of a seasoning, put the empty bottle in a special place that
 you can see before going to the store.
 
 When I carried a purse, I'd put it in there. Could also go in the pocket of a
 sweatshirt or jacket that you wear when doing errands. Maybe even just on the
 ledge next to your shoes. Something that reminds you to get this particular
 seasoning, and no others. It's easy to get others...

 one of the perks of layering like this is if you ever need to share clothes
 with someone slightly larger than yourself, you can! Doesn't work so well with
 smaller, though.
 
 Also if you get hot indoors because some people think we need to run heaters
 24/7 (???) then you can just remove a layer or two. it's the most versatile
 way to clothe oneself.

 it's not always about minorities, though. sometimes they feel strongly about
 hard work and self-sufficiency or individuality or whatever. I'm telling you
 now: those values are shared by other ideologies as well.
 
 it's okay to prefer to be around people who are similar to you. That is a
 personal choice and it should be allowed. I mean, have you ever heard of a
 convent? a bunch of girls hanging out making out all day and - wait, what's
 that? it wasn't that fun? lotta clerical work and reading about god? alright
 well you get the idea, sometimes it's nice to feel comfort in similarity.
 
 it's okay to believe that people should work hard. It's not an imposition upon
 them to demand more of your peers, especially if you are willing to help them.
 Especially if they are willing and able. It's less alright to force them to.
 Even less so to "encourage" them by taking all of their stuff. Though I will
 say, being homeless isn't as bad as it used to be. Still hurts.

 tailoring clothes to fit multiple people is easy. Just add buttons at a
 certain distance in the direction their bodies grew different. Then, when
 donning or doffing the piece of equipment, the various users would button the
 clothing system to their bodies at the correct position, rather than whatever
 the fabric had been cut to allow.

 a different location before going to location I decided not to vacate my home
 for today for reasons I don't understand but accept as natural and due to the
 increased presence of directionless motion that guides and prevails me. which
 is to say... I'm staying in tonight even though I really really wanna show off
 my cute new outfit! I probably will do cannabis so there might be a
 psycherwaul. If there isn't, then y'know it's probably because either my
 girlfriend distracted me, or I managed to convince myself to move my feet
 anyway. Maybe it's my outfit? I wonder if I could leave if I wore my old
