I am once again reminding people that Abi carries cute stuff for everyone. Clothes, disability aids, pins that do the talking for you. If you can, support them, or at least boost her posts. (But definitely buy something if you can, they even have IV-friendly hoodies!!!)

I am moving to using a US Fullfiment Centre for US customers. It will take weeks to fully implement. I am having to pay several thousands for the shipping of products to the US and the custom fees. I am depleting my savings. I am scared and stressed. I just wish people could see that I'm trying.

People have no idea how well priced Bibi's disability/mobility aids are and how excellent the quality is. Bibi's stuff LASTS. It wears well. And Bibi is bending over backwards to accommodate US customers right now due to tariffs we never wanted and Bibi has no control over.

This isn't towards those who are broke.

I've noticed that people devalue my work. I could have hundreds of reviews raving about my products. But people only wanna support me if they feel they're getting a VERY "cheap" price. While so many other creators can charge whatever for their products.

Thirty-one years ago, there was a slave auction reenacted at Colonial Williamsburg.

Some thought it powerful, many thought it insulting.

This summer, I traveled to Williamsburg myself to see how the country’s largest living history museum today tells the story of Black life at America’s founding.

What Is Colonial Williamsburg For?

Telling the full story of the town’s past is an easy way to make a lot of people mad.

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?
🧪 @mjibrown.bsky.social

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.
