   So I had this idea once that I thought maybe I'd make a website, but it would actually work better with our hashtags.

   The situation: there are antique things, like my dresser, which are missing unique parts, like some of the pull handles on my dresser. No way I'm getting replacements at the hardware store.

   There are probably more of them out there, though. In some shoebox in an antique shop in Forsythe Montana.

   #AnyoneGotThis and #AnyoneNeedThis could be places to put stuff like that.

     So here goes cause why not: anyone got one of this particular pull dingus? We got the dresser at a thrift and it's missing one, the top right one, which will be the one that got pulled the most. The rest seem just fine.

     If it were to get support, CV could be used to scan for matches, and folks who are scrapping stuff that they know is not just late capitalist disposable trash they can offer it up.

     People could make their own deals based on the actual value of the thing. I figure if someone were to send me pull handles that match my dresser, I'd buy them a very fancy coffee, at least, besides shipping and handling and time.

     But I like the idea of it being a community thing we do, not a site you go to.
