Vibes DIY · Field Notes № 04

Neighborhood Swaps & Lists

Community circulation — post what you have, claim what you need, keep stuff moving locally instead of into the landfill.

The corkboard at the front of the co-op — the one with the takeable tabs and the slightly faded flyers. Post what you have, claim what you need, keep stuff moving locally instead of into the landfill. None of these are products. All of them are vibes — built by one neighbor, for the people on the block who actually use them.

"The block-wide free pile that needs a 'claimed' button.
The siblings sharing kid clothes through three growth spurts.
The audience is six neighbors, not six million." — Field Notes, № 04
