In my pockets, my keys (including a NitroKey for accessing my passwords), which are literally chained to my trousers, my phone and a little towel the size of a handkerchief.
I also carry a little, what to call it, pochette? It’s a little carrying thing around the size of my hand, that is either clipped to the strap of my messenger bag or carried on its own with a shoulder strap. It contains my passport, public transit pass, bank pass, just-in-case-cash, pen, mechanical pencil, cloth for wiping glasses, and a folded ecobag.
As for the messenger bag, it contains a carbon steel folding umbrella, which folds down to around the size of a glasses case and is very light, a larger ecobag, notebook, headphones, a bunch of USB cables and adapters, a USB memory stick, and a teeny-tiny nail clipper. Not for actually clipping my nails, but you know how sometimes a little triangle of skin around the corner of a nail gets loose and all hard and annoying? It’s for that sole purpose. Also, I typically carry the bag when traveling a longer distance (like my commute to work), so there’s usually a book and a 3DS in there.

and a set of comedic emergency mustaches.
House keys. Phone. Poo bags. Dog treats. That’s pretty much it.
Car keys if I’m driving anywhere.

My passportNow you’ve done it. Here come the EDC people

Just a stupid ring I found in a cave.
Nice, sounds precious.
My precioussss
I got this wierd little multitool that is a fire starter, knife sharpener, and whistle and my keychain is a actual carbiner and I use one for my keys and one for my wallet so I have two on me generally. I do not climb though so not like I could use them in any real way but you know if I ever get stranded with someone more skilled than I it all might come in handy.
pocket sand! sha sha shaw!
The unrelenting dread and fear of something horrifying and terrible happening to the ones I love.
The lingering resentment and intense loathing towards an ex spouse who abused me daily for almost 15 years.
Dead Tamagotchi from 1998 to remind myself of my failures as a caregiver.
The ever-evolving concept for a music album that perfectly encapsulates my life experiences, from the good to the awful, and what they’ve taught me about myself.
Deadpool keychain charm.
Always a folding blade, phone in my side pocket and a simple wallet in front pocket, sometimes my ccw although now that I’m full time at the office the firearm is in a lockbox under my driver’s seat.
Fob, phone, fountain pen, fwallet
