Lake Mead lowest ever. Siberia hits 90. Vienna 105. Northwest on fire. Ocean heat record. Nothing to see here folks.

Looks like US-made textiles and clothing have gotten more expensive since Trump imposed tariffs in April 2025.
A graph from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the price of US-made textile products and apparel since July of 2022. The prices held mostly steady until May of 2025, at which point they've gone up about 7%.

Have been thinking very seriously lately about the Task of the Writer & it seems to boil down to three things 1. Just say it, in your own words 2. Listen to your editor & do what they tell you (within reason) 3. Restock the pantry as often as you can
