If you drink tea @brooklyntea.bsky.social blows me away 100% of the time. The best quality teas (both loose and bags) and fast shipping. (Not an ad, obviously - I would pay for this tea over and over again, it's that good 😂)

I’m just sayin’ 💚 🌎

Verbena lilacina and Hesperizygus 'Sunset Mojito' are favorites of the local and migrating hummingbirds in my backyard. 🌱

Canada accounts for about 60% of U.S. crude oil imports. If Trump's tariffs end up applying to that oil, that would likely cause gas prices to rise in the U.S., Canada's ambassador warns.

This is advice every dem politician should take to heart. Don’t sell against the competition. Sell what you are doing to reduce people’s stress and make their life better It’s not about what’s wrong with the competition. It’s about what is right with you
