During RCCC, Jules & Ange both stumbled upon the booth for @floralfrolic.bsky.social and fell in love with their plushies. So much so that we decided to start carrying them!

From the mischievous Queenie Fox to the adorable Angry Cat, come check out the plushies and let us know what you think!

"Cat Mom" is definitely important though. It answers the crucial question of if you will have cat pictures for work chat.

Nothing like good ol’ New Jersey/Manhattan traffic! Just witnessed an extended city bus shoot across two lanes of traffic AND cut off an 18 wheeler right before the tunnel. Weee! 🫣

If you buy state marketplace insurance ... Today is the day to write to your reps and tell them what higher premiums will do to you. 🤮 ...

I, along with many other small business owners, can only afford healthcare because of the Oregon ACA marketplace. If costs go up due to congress allowing the ACA subsidies to end, I will not be able to afford healthcare anymore.
I’m not the only one in this boat.
Call your reps.

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House. If the government shuts down, that's their failed leadership at work.

Just in case some people missed the memo:
DO NOT USE ULINE. EVER.

IDGAF if you think they "have the best prices" or "have the best tape". Buying from them because of one of those reasons just tells me your morals have a price tag.

Throw your packaging sources in the comments.

ProPublica @propublica.org · 25d

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

(Published 2022)

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial

A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.
