Salute to Freecycle for that one guy who gave away an almost-new electric fireplace two years ago. Wherever he is, I hope he is having an amazing Thanksgiving cause I am especially grateful for him today. It is 30 degrees (feels like 18 degrees) and I have not moved in 30 minutes. #HappyThanksgiving

I will participate. I am still adamant about promoting a minimum of one Black-owned business on my Substack posts for Amazon because their inventory too often gets buried, but Target is a non-issue for me. Haven't shopped there in several YEARS. #MassBlackout

Finding local Black-owned businesses is a little tougher, but I can do it online. My favorite grocery stores are community-owned and Latino-owned so that part has been happening for the past couple years.
