One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

I can't wait to hold this in my hands! There are so many layers of meaning for me in this table runner weaving I commissioned from @nelltheweaver.bsky.social in honor of @veretskiy.bsky.social's book. She drew inspiration from the manuscript and illustrations.

I just got off the phone with my 84-year-old mother and she told me she is participating in the Economic Blackout on Friday. She also told me Walmart is not on her grocery store list anymore, she goes to BJs. All of this to say, if my 84-year-old mother can adjust her consumer habits, so can we.

Did you hear about the Italian chef? He pasta away. Get it? I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

I don’t mind giving blurbs at all. The number of requests is daunting but I love reading new work.

We had a great discussion with @oleg_veretskiy today! Appreciate the participation of Renee, Cheryl, Henry, Jen, Liz, Kelly, and of course, Marina and Tatiana (aka Odesa Sisters) for translating. The time flew and best of all, I think veretskiy.bsky.social really enjoyed it.
