2/ Chocolate makers saw this coming. After Christmas, I bought 100 lbs of chocolate at a slightly elevated price, but nothing like what it is today. marcenetmercantile.com/p/bourbon-mars…

4/ If the price of chocolate falls, we may reopen the chocolate part of the business in the fall. There are few things in this world I love to do than being a chocolate maker and a chocolatier. I am heartbroken. marcenetmercantile.com/p/cherry-bloss…

5/ It's going to be a great spring and summer of berry picking and jam and jelly making. Hell, if the price of eggs ever comes down, we'll be making cookies as well. However, if you like our chocolate, you should get some within the next couple of weeks. ♥️marcenetmercantile.com/p/lemon-saffro…

WOW. The owner of a popular inn in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, told CNN that “easily” 90% of their business has disappeared as Canadian tourists cancel their vacations in the U.S. following Trump’s relentless attacks on their country. Donald Trump is destroying America.

Straight, gay, and trans women AND men of all shapes and sizes better start working together to combat this shit because there's something about every single one of us that any shitty man could deem "mannish" if they don't like you. Then what? Who's going to fight for you?

Annnnnd this is why I had to shutter the chocolate part of my shop. Raw cocoa prices are at a 50 year high and commercial chocolate prices have doubled in many areas.

Cindy was way off…

We think tariffs are about bringing back manufacturing. Talk to small businesses first

This would be comical if it wasn’t so devastating.
