We see your name. Sometimes I even recognize it from years ago & amazed all over again that people have been with us for that amount of time, or come back after so long.

We notice. We care. Every single order with a small business still feels personal, because it is. 💚

While the big guys are running another round of sales, I just wanted to remind you what small business really means.

When you place an order here, it doesn’t disappear into the noise of a quarterly shareholders report.

"The percentage of trips made on bicycle in Paris has gone from 2% to 12% in the last 10 years, while car use declined from 12% to 4%. 'No other city in the world of this size has moved so quickly,' says Berman. 'It’s an example of what political courage can achieve at the local level.'"

Instead of supporting the dude who just spent $500 million on a wedding, let’s support business owners who celebrate every sale.

This July 8–11, skip Prime. Shop with a purpose.

Department of Energy Releases Report on Evaluating U.S. Grid Reliability and Security

The Department of Energy warns that blackouts could increase by 100% in 2030 if the U.S. continues to shutter reliable power sources and fails to add additional firm capacity.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

When even Fox News actually reports on polls showing almost 60% of people do NOT want the bill, it’s really bad.

This is bullshit.

Not only do ICE bounty hunters refuse to identify themselves, they won’t say where they’re taking the people they’re kidnapping.

Deliberately shuffling detainees from facility to facility so families can’t find them & they miss their chance at legal counsel.
