EDIT: I've received enough help to get a washing machine now and will have it on Tuesday. Thanks for the suggestions though.

I'm not having much luck with my mutual aid request for a new washing machine. I'm finding it impossible to wash my clothes by hand. I have very little use of my left arm, as well as issues with my hands. I'm finding i just can't wring the clothes out by hand, which means i can't get the laundry disinfectant I have to use, out properly. They're being left itchy and smelly. Does anyone have any good tips on dealing with this?

I live in rural Canada, the local Ag store pays $200 per deer, $300 per elk.

Cw: disrespecting hunted animal corpses

They pay this amount because the owner got sick of people just dumping 80-100% of the carcass in the trash or hucking them into a ravine, and this was the number he had to reach to make that stop happening. They butcher the animals and then donate the meat to food banks.

What the fuck. Why would people go hunting not to eat? It's just expensive and boring camping...

Wait, the answer is toxic masculinity isn't it.

That or for having a head to taxidermy and mount on their wall. Disgusting.
