Have fun and express your style in a way that makes you feel comfortable. I love thrifting too and if you can, accessorize a little. In a work environment it gives people a talking point and makes ya stand out even if your fit is basic. A cool bag, bright coat, silver jewelry, hat with vintage local sports team. Take the comments well! Oh yeah I picked it up recently, do you like thrifting too?

Live off the interest and devote your 40 hr work week to do mutual aid and community building. Hand out supplies and food daily to get to know your unhoused neighbors and distribute leftist pamphlets that encourage organizing.
That’s OK! I don’t think anyone is feeling burdened or that they’re “wasting” advice, I’d say most people that try in help in that way love sharing their experiences with overcoming obstacles! -that is the thing though when ppl give advice online it’s probably their own POV and if they don’t know your situation they’re very likely to gloss over a thing or two that may be important to you. Just keep seeking input and slowly the right combination of advice will spark a self realization. You’re worthy in this fd up world and change rarely happens suddenly.
As a bit of a fashion wonk I’d say shien is def the fastest, dirtiest, cheapest, and lowest quality stuff but esp if you really can’t find the piece in your size/ color anywhere else and it won’t be worn out too heavily then its def an option. Don’t feel too bad cause it’s on par with other fast fashion but obv don’t start ordering 10 pieces a week from them ya know.
My tip would be to reverse image search the clothes you like on Google and if you don’t get any hits make a good search description of the peice and go to depop, grailed, then your local thrift store! More time consuming but vintage is usually higher quality, same price, and keeps the planet one shirt healthier.
another vote for phone aspect ratio since many ppl who want to repost would rather do it on their temporary story rather than part of their main content so it can add to virality! Side note… I really want an isolated audio of Anthony fantano saying “Capitalism, it’s not good” with an explosion. I can prob get him to post it too if the meme hits right, someone I know is on his tik tok fyp
Find local mutual aid groups on Instagram, you can donate directly to them or typically they repost the venmos of unhoused and marginalized individuals. This is the most direct form of aid you can do with your dollars aside from going out and distributing supplies yourself.
