The IRS's free tax filing tool is now reportedly "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief.

This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

I sowed vegetable seeds today so I can save money, and share my extra food. It got me thinking. In WWII, people had victory gardens. What are people calling it now? A #resist garden? Suggestions welcome.

Any other Midwest gardeners out there starting seeds to prepare for the price of food (and everything) going up?

While scrapbooking might involve purchasing sticker kits and ornately decorated paper for a specific occasion, junk journaling emphasizes the use of found and recycled materials: a sticker from a fruit, a pamphlet picked up at a museum, a piece of product packaging that’s too pretty to discard.

I'm so excited to have Turner Classic Movies again. I'm watching a Clark Gable movie from 1939 called Idiot's Delight. With his humor and charm, I can see why he was so popular. Does anyone else like old movies? If so, what are your favorites? Who are your favorite stars?
