Debt: the first 5000 years

Changed my perspective on so much--namely money and history. It's shocking how so much of the mainstream story of where money came from is false conjecture. For instance, we are told that societies start out bartering for goods and then develop money to make trade easier... but actually Graeber shows in no society has bartering ever predated coinage. The actual ways societies have historically dealt with exchange of goods and services are diverse and often more humanistic. Could it be that the mainstream narrative is merely justification for the inevitability of the free market? 🤔 Definitely want to re-read because there's lots more too

notes app list of packing lists

I'm seeing a lot of posts from fans of lists --- one of my personal fav lists is my lists of packing lists AKA keeping all your packing lists in one organized notes app note, and noting the location, length of trip, and time of year If you are feeling really overachievey, you can even annotate post-trip what items were either excessive or missing (best done in italics) It's so useful to not have to start from scratch each trip, and also not make the same packing mistakes 🌟

Homemade applesauce

Just chop them up and put them in a pot on the stove with a little water and simmer... so yummy. Especially good for weird apples that you don't want to eat otherwise.
