I am looking for independent creators for either sea turtle or bat things. Paintings, bags, fanny packs, pillows, pajamas. It would make my wife very happy for Christmas. I am trying to avoid supporting corporations. BlPOC and LGBTQ+ creators definitely encouraged. DMs open

The right ignored the murder of the Minnesota House Speaker by a guy who had a hit list of Democrats he was targeting to flip control of the chamber to Republicans.
Asked about that assassination today, the president said he didn't know who she was and a Fox host said he didn't care she was killed.
