You know you can tax the rich right now, right? Just shift where you spend your money.

Support your local coffee shop instead of a big chain. Shop at farmers' markets. Eat at local restaurants. Buy from mom-and-pop stores. Choose independent brands over corporate giants.

Yes, it might cost a little more, but you're redirecting money away from corporations that thrive on low wages and putting it straight into your community—where it can grow, support jobs, and build something better.

You are effectively taxing the rich.

Hey, ich bin Gisi.
Kreativ, mit viel Herz.

Ich liebe es Papier zu marmorieren und daraus schöne Dinge zu gestalten.

Hier möchte ich gerne zeigen, was beim Marmorieren alles möglich ist und was daraus entstehen kann.

Na dann, los geht's. 😊

Finished Moorland Puff Stitch Hat using a hank of @wildsagewool DK. I had to shorten it by a few rounds of puff stitch and the band is a couple rounds of sc narrower, but it's still totally wearable. I'll weave in the ends tomorrow before dropping it off at @redhillfiber , since I made it as a shop sample. Aren't the colors @indigoguineafiber chose for this yarn lovely?

Just a quick PSA for the folks supporting online small businesses 📢; I know Etsy is popular, but please remember that they aren't the only e-commerce platform where people sell their goods 😉. Don't forget to also check out places like My Community Made, goimagine, Inspire Uplift, Ko-fi, Bonanza Marketplace, and Tedooo 😁!
(And feel free to repost this if you find it helpful 😜)
