There’s something so cool about walking through someone’s former home and navigating their possessions. You get a feel for who they were and what they valued, and a sneak peek into their own personal treasure trove.
Someone’s last remaining items can have an entirely new life, and the world can have one less item in the landfill.
It’s like forming your very own chosen family of heirlooms and cherished valuables!

The opposite of decluttering. I’ve gotten watercolors painted by the departed, photographs of the people they cared about and had hung above the bed, a well-used typewriter from a mom-and-pop repair shop that no longer exists, and 19 sheep—all sold together—of various materials and so many other things.
It’s like a museum of strangers and cities passed and I like to think they know I cherish their memories and hold their lived dear.

Sometimes you eat a small breakfast really early or you just have a coffee, and it’s nice to eat lunch at 10:30 or 11

I want more people to use it but I also want it to stay intimate and not overwhelming? I like how I can follow strangers without second guessing, or post whatever and not overthink it. I like that it’s simple &easy and not over curated. I like that it doesn’t incentivize weird self obsessed behavior like other social media and we can just share silly cute thoughts!
