An easy way to support small, minority owned businesses is shopping online, but it can be really hard to find them on the vast internet! I've been saving business information from shops that interested me and thought I'd share it if others are interested. I've noted which shops are Black, indigenous, disabled, queer, or Roma owned as much as I could if supporting any of these groups is a goal of yours. My goal is to keep updating this list, so keep checking back and let me know your favorite small shops to add to the list!

they told me not to get lost in the weeds, but these are lush, beautiful, and ecologically necessary native plants so it's probably fine

[ID. A two panel digital comic of stratt and grace from project hail mary. In the first panel they face each other. Stratt informs, "it is pride month, dr. Grace. You know what that means." Grace responds with "huh" and "what". In the second panel stratt turns and starts walking away, grace calling after her with "do you want me to make like, gay astrophage, what". His shirt has the aroace flag on it. End ID.]

very disappointing when someone says "the bird app" and for one lovely moment I think they are talking about Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab, the free app that allows you to identify birds by appearance or sound, make a list of birds you have seen, and explore all the birds native to your region.... and then I realize they are talking about twitter.

What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas

If you have a PhD or an MD you can say shit like “Doctor’s orders” and you sound authoritative and powerful but if you’re a step short of those and you say “Master’s orders” you sound cringe as hell and possibly corrupted by the One Ring, this sucks
