Passing on a note from a colleague: People with federal student loans should download their files IMMEDIATELY. These files are currently on the studentaid.gov website, which may get deleted if Trump follows through with his EO to shut down DOE

I also stopped using Kcups about a year ago and now make pour over coffee and compost the filter and grounds. I drink a lot of coffee and using that many plastic cups each day really bothered me.

I love the Swedish dish cloths to wipe counters and clean. But cat messes are another story lol. We have used cloth napkins for a few years. My Gen Z daughter got us doing that. Got these from our local CSA as well. They sell tons of other non produce items made locally or my small businesses.
