These questions didn’t fit in our header so we used the answers instead.
An image of text in the Bluesky header editing tool that doesn’t fit in the allowed dimensions that says: What gifts can we buy that also make our world better? Are there gifts that support maternal health? Are there gifts that help treat and test for tuberculosis? Are there gifts that help save coral reefs? CAN WE BUY GIFTS THAT DON’T FURTHER ENRICH BILLIONAIRES?

As a self-pubbing author and small business owner, I thought long & hard about how to release my new book wo supporting Amazon in its initial launch. #Romancelandia #SmallBusinessSaturday
A graphic reads: Jules Cassidy, P.I. December 11th only via Kickstarter Back it now through December 8th: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ suzannebrockmann/jules-cassidy-pi It includes the cover art for the new book, which features the centered image of two running men, crossing a road in a tired-looking neighborhood in the Los Angeles area known as the Valley.

I got this a while back and I really like the syrups! I prefer using it for a tiny additional flavor (they recommend 2 Tbsp per glass, and I use 1 tsp), and so mine are lasting forever, but I like these a lot and you might too!

In self-interest but also general interest, folks: Black Friday is coming up, and small publishers/independent creators will always be a better choice than megacorps.

When the sales drop, please remember that!

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

Some people don't know this so it's worth saying out loud that Public libraries are free to use. And even if you have never used a library, the librarians at your local library will be very happy to see you and help you get started.

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.

In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

And because they might be our most popular item of 2025 (can't guess why) I made A LOT of clicky dumpster fires!

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
