    Bill Penzey would be safe in my book. Penzey’s spices are a fantastic product, but he’s an activist who very vocally supports equality, respect, and human dignity.

    Shortly after the election I received a blanket from them with a very kind note. Apparently they had a promotion where you could submit the name and address of someone who is struggling and could use a hug. I have no idea who nominated me, but I’m so grateful. Penzey’s didn’t change any money for this, which is crazy to me.

      I just went to the website and was my attention was first on the link “About Republicans”. An essay on the current fall of the Republican party and why they don’t believe in them anymore. I think they deserve some of my money.

        You will be well rewarded with a quality product, too! It’s so good, even my MAGA mother in law is on their mailing list. If you enjoy the essay About Republicans, you’ll likely also love their emails. They have great sales, too. The weekend before the election they offered half off almost everything in their stores if you mentioned the promotion, and I got a free coffee mug, sticker, and sample product. They offered me two mugs because my partner came with me, but I didn’t want to be greedy.

        This has been going on since at least the 2000s and possibly earlier, that’s the point at which I started paying attention to US politics. It was even noted in the Newsroom which I think is circa 2012

      I loved going into the Penzey’s near me. Just about every spice you could ever need, and my store had an entire section dedicated to different types of cinnamon from all around the world. The people that worked there were all super nice and helpful too, it was always a joy going in there. Unfortunately that location didn’t survive COVID 😢

      Their emails are amazing. And the spices are very very good. I need to get some more of their vanilla. It was on sale, I think it might still be for today.

      Also there’s sometimes pictures of pets in the emails.
