Hey babes!
I've been thinking a lot about how we have a treasure trove of useful skills at our disposal and we are not using them as well as we could. We should be sharing what we know! I don't mean information this time, but skills.
Like I know how to fight, and I'm also excellent at basket-weaving, pegasus riding, first aid, knitting, baking, and I know too much about Greek mythology. But I can't do math to save my life, I tried to fix an alarm clock once and broke the screwdriver, if I tried to shoot a gun without training there would definitely be instances of friendly fire, and apparently I'm an awful storyteller.
Maybe we could all offer a mini-class in something so then everyone could benefit from these skills? That could be cool! We're only as strong as our weakest link and if we learn from each other, our links will grow stronger.
So MY PROPOSAL is that everyone should come in here and offer something they could teach someone else as well as what they want to learn in turn. Maybe it won't be the same person but there is nothing wrong with meeting new people, don't be babies. It's educational bartering.
I can offer baking, basket-weaving, knitting, and Ancient Greek style fighting, weapons to be determined. I would like to learn how to unclog a sink because that seems like something I should know how to do and how to keep a plant alive for longer than two minutes. And that whole gun thing. That could be handy.
