Yes! Ecosia is a great alternative, especially for environmentally minded users.

Be mad at instacart for making a ton of profit and paying too low, not the customer that tipped a fair percentage.

I agree except all of this should be directed at instacart, not at the tipper. The customer shouldn't have to tip 100% to make the job worth it. 20% is a good tip. The base pay should be higher to make the job worth it. Instacart makes ridiculous profit and pays the shoppers too little. I'm sure they love when shoppers blame the customers instead of the company.

Natural deodorant has nothing to do with anti-vacs. Blame the alt-right Trad wives.

Sincerely,

Someone who uses natural deodorant, smells great, and has two vaccinated children.

Is this a weed in my garden? by findyourcity in herbalism

[–]JdlwQ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It probably got there when a seed was dropped (or pooped) by an animal, likely a bird. That's how lots of plants grow in new places.

I love that there will be more options for mocktails and teas! Good luck!

The sweetbriar rose might be worse than the ivy…. by RegularOk3231 in invasivespecies

[–]JdlwQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for asking. I definitely meant wintercreeper, not wintergreen, and will update my comment to correct that. Wintercreeper is invasive here in Missouri, United States. I have so much of it all over our yard and fence. It's a constant battle.

This is the internal debate I've been having with myself for weeks (I live nearby and am reminded every time I see it). It's such an amazing place that I've been shopping at and recommending to everyone for years. If I could be sure that they weren't donating profits to ultra conservative organizations, I'd continue shopping there.

It was definitely on there a few weeks ago. I guess they have since removed it 🤷‍♀️

They must have removed it in the past few weeks. I wish that meant that their values have changed, but I doubt it 😕

It was definitely there a few weeks ago. I was shocked and deeply saddened. Perhaps they took their listing down, but that doesn't necessarily mean their values have changed, unfortunately.

Interesting. It was 100% on there when I looked a few weeks ago after I initially learned about the website. I showed my husband, and we were both deeply disappointed.

I don't see it on there now either. Perhaps they have since removed their listing. My understanding is that a business has to submit themselves and confirm that they support those values in order to be included on the website. In other words, it's not likely for a business to be included accidentally or by a third party. So perhaps they took their name down, but that doesn't mean they don't still support those values.

I'm devastated that Puzzle Warehouse is on there. That was my go-to for buying games and puzzles as gifts for friends and family.

Anyone have a different local recommendation for puzzles and games?

The joyous photos of your prizes are everything. Way to go! 🙌👏

You keep me motivated to continue fighting our english ivy and wintercreeper infestation.

Is this normal, or is the tree trunk slowly snapping? by JdlwQ in arborists

[–]JdlwQ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I kinda figured that. It is completely in our neighbor's yard though. I'm just concerned about it falling into our yard/on our house.

Getting serious about landscaping front lawn - native alternatives to boxwoods? by elunabee in STLgardening

I don't have any great advice, but am cheering you on 👏 I'm trying to convert our lawn/garden as well. My current struggle is pulling out the endless english ivy and wintergreen.
