| Do you enjoy feeling good about yourself? Knowing you've done a good deed? How about helping those in need in the community? We're only as strong as our weakest link, after all, and right now a lot of people are feeling quite weak.
I know everything's still a bit of a mess, but in the wake of a huge influx of people needing medical help, the free clinic's resources are at an all time low.
What we need:
- Man power. Cleaners, administration, anyone with medical experience who isn't already working.
- Blood donors.
- Herbs, citrus, coffee.
- Bandages. Any spare cloth will do.
- Paper.
- Cleaning products, especially laundry powder.
- Salt, to make saline solution.
- Clear, thin tubes.
- Metal braces.
- Anything we can trade on in order to purchase rarer items such as medicines.
- More hours in day.
If you have items in bulk or with great value and would prefer to offer a discount or a payment plan rather than a donation we should still talk. | |

| Hello.
When I was extracted, I was allowed to bring with me some things. As far as things can be brought.
In this case, I have a few books.
"Books."
I hear their raw code can be good for trading so I am probably decreasing a little their value by sharing them like this but I don't think everyone uses this network all the time, so take them for that if you like. Or to just read. If you would like the "books" themselves in simulation let me know. I like them better that way too and I don't mind providing copies if you like to store/keep that kind of code.
Which is very strange that that can be done to paperbacks, isn't it?
Here is a little bit of a poem from a time where automobiles were the harbingers of the waste land. It is long so I will share just this small part that I like.What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust. If anyone has anything like this (not just from Earthish places), I'd like to see (and can trade if you prefer). But I understand there are probably some rules about that here.[ Unlike, potentially, in Kosala. ]I don't have much more than what I have shared already but I hope you enjoy it. :)[ Attached are a few books, stripped from its digitalised form into a more accessible e-book type format pared down to the text, including the rest of TS Eliot's The Waste Land, along with The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, some other less recognisable titles that don't break any fourth walls I hope, and the text of a wildlife encyclopaedia that seemed handy to have too. ] | |

| Look. I'm just gonna go ahead and say it. But I'm only sayin' it once, and I'm gonna say it real slow, so all of you better clean the crap outta your ears and listen up.
I get that there ain't no money. Actual money. But what I'm sayin' is, if you ain't got nothin' to trade, why the hell would you go around wasting somebody's time.
Like, it's like common friggin' decency to bring with you what you got to trade. No, 'oh, whoops guess I left it at home', no, 'oh, it's in the pocket of my other crappy shapeless pants'-- gettin' it to me in a day ain't an option, I don't care if it's your laundry day, if you're waitin' for some big payoff, I don't care if you got twelve kids--that's your own damn fault--I don't care if you're fresh outta the tube. If you wanna buy something from someone? If you bring in your crappy little console, and you want it fixed up real quick so you can get your ass back to work, and you hustle me along and talk real big and then when it comes time to pay up, and you give me some sad sack story? [SLOWLY AND LOUDLY:] I don't work for free. Nobody here better be workin' for free, and if they are, congratulations, you found yourself a sucker. Charity is for suckers.
Okay? Are we clear? 'Cause the next idiot that comes to me askin' for a handout is gonna get it, and I don't mean free frickin' labor. [SIGH.] Jeez. It's like nobody got a brain. Workin' with a buncha stupid fleshy kids. Hardly even seems worth it...
