The Indigenous Food Lab is a Minneapolis-based non-profit working to reestablish Native foodways—they do great work and also have a market stocked with really neat food products, books, games, bath & body products, and more from Native-owned companies. If you're not in the Minneapolis area they have an online shop and offer shipping: https://iflmarket.square.site/

Omg that plant meme has me deceased. And the idea of securing someone else childcare so they can have a lovely meal experience feels huge; maybe even a parent-swap so we can each do it, and just take turns ;)

The meme gets me EVERY TIME.

A childcare swap is a great idea!

Great title and a unique listen My attitude towards gifts is definitely ambivalent! I tend to prefer that people come upon something that makes them think of me, even if it’s not on a holiday or other special day, rather than force something or make me tell them what I want. Gifts are nice, but decisions are hard 😅

So true. It feels MUCH more special to know someone is just walking through life and suddenly thinks of you and cares enough to get that thing.

Thanks for the book recommendations! Looking forward to checking those out. I’ve been “good” this year and used my local library a lot. Which means I’ve not accumulated as many new books to my shelves as I typically do.

Which has been helpful considering I live with another book lover in a relatively small space 😅

I'm a huge local library user for the same reason! ❤️
