If you are also worried about tariffs and supply chain shortages, and have the financial means to prepare, here is what I have stocked up on and plan to buy soon, plus what I would get if I had kids, a car or a larger home, based on reporting I've read or done myself in the last several months (🧵):

It's #PortfolioDay, eh???
I'm Cara, and instead of having one hobby/interest, I decided to have all of them. I'm a graphic designer, cartoonist, miniature painter, and occasional sculptor. Why settle for just one?

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943.
Only one cat has ever received the award.

I know lots of older folks lie to their kids because they don't want them to worry (and they don't want to deal with constant nagging) but I'd never seen anyone actually write about it before

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur."
I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.
