Someone who bought a frog facts advent calendar for a friend's kid last year just emailed me.
Apparently that kid got a different advent calendar this year, and when he opened it he said, “These are HORRIBLE! They’re not teaching me anything about frogs!”
This kid gets it.

ANYWAY
Buy from small businesses
Buy from independent creators
Buy passion projects
Buy commissions
Buy art
In a society that's decided that money is final word, be aware of where yours goes and to support what
Yes it sucks, I don't like it either, but pretending it's not a thing does not help!

#WaysToHelp I found a page with a list of book drives for various reservation schools and other needs. You order the book and have it shipped to the school/site. I used my favorite, @roomofonesownbooks.bsky.social, but bookshop.org has free shipping today, you could take advantage of that!

The 3rd chapter of A.A. Milne's "Winnie-the-Pooh" is titled
"In which Pooh & Piglet Go Hunting & Nearly Catch a Woozle."
The characters find footprints in the snow, deduce the presence of a 'Woozle,' which they track.
But they're tracking their own footprints.
Let's talk about 'WOOZLE EFFECT'.
