The idea is simple: trade favors, collectively. Maybe you’re great with taxes, and Julie needs help. But what you really need is someone to clean the gutters, and Julie can’t climb ladders. Besides, Julie only needs an hour of help, and gutters will take three. With a time bank you help Julie…and Jim and Joe, then David helps you. He’s happy to do it. He got a lot of help after his wife’s surgery!

Before the internet, bookstores were the commons for information and community. Today, like all local brick-and-mortar, they’re nearly extinct. We can’t fight oligarchs without addressing monopoly, so one of the ways we resist is through supporting local business. Buy your books locally when you can. Or buy from Bookshop.org, which shares a portion of every sale with small local bookstores. You can even set your favorite as your recipient!
