New-ish #orchid pots. These are so much fun to make! Orchids love the unglazed clay plus the drainage holes offer a door to the outside. They make a Trader Joe orchid look very special.

Available at BaronessVonSavage.com, with more coming soon. #artsky #ceramicarts

No one wants a "catastrophic plan" with "freedom options" and "health sharing". We want unfettered access to a health care system that meets us wherever we are, helps us stay healthy and doesn't cripple our budget when we have an emergency. Why is this so fucking hard?

Small businesses are at the heart of our community. I learned that firsthand, having ran a small specialty printing business for more than three decades.

Happy National Small Business Saturday!

New orchid pots! I do these in a speckled buff clay that I leave unglazed except for the flowers. Orchids love them (lots of drainage that you can’t see) AND you have something to look at when they are dormant!

When we're on the rebound, I want a book / think piece entitled, "What Were They Thinking?" that would cover the calculus made by all those who chose to be a member of #Trump's government. How did they assess the significant risk to their career and reputation? Who did they consult?

From @theguardian.com : "Millions took to the streets today across more than 2,700 cities and towns, marking a day of defiance against Trump’s authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of American cities."
Amen.

Where's Trump? #IHDY
"Trump has not been seen in public since Tuesday and has no public events on his calendar today," noted journalist Aaron Rupar.

"Where’s Trump?" added X user PatriotDaughter. "He hasn’t been seen since that 10% battery life speech to the top brass."

Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a $20 billion package to rescue the Argentinian economy. The taxpayer-financed deal has little upside for ordinary Americans.

However, the announcement had massive economic benefits for one American: billionaire hedge fund manager Rob Citrone.

A $20 billion taxpayer-funded rescue package for Argentina is a gift for a hedge fund manager with personal and professional ties to the Treasury Secretary
