Can someone help me figure out what these dried herbs are?

I got these a while ago from a local apothecary before it closed. I forgot to label them and i can't figure out what they are. There's a possibility one is feverfew or marshmallow leaf or mugwort leaf. Here's the apothecary's website (specifically herbal section) to see if you can match it with any of those:

I know it's a long shot and I probably won't get a clear answer but any effort would be greatly appreciated.

Boeing Missile Defense system coin found in my late grandfather's coin collection, showing no results on reverse image search.

I just found this in my late grandfather's coin collection. The coin yields no results in reverse image searches. It says "Boeing Missile Defense Systems" on one side and "Colorado Springs Operations" on the other. I know my grandpa was a marine medic and engineer on the USS Enterprise, but maybe there was some stuff he never told us about, because he never mentioned working with Boeing or missiles.

In the bag there was also a holographic Nixon Lodge campaign pin from the 60s, a ton of coins form the late 50s and later, and a 1994 10 cent in store trade Pump n Pantry coin.

Origins/hybrid fic

It's a fic where Techno's dad captures Phil, techno helps him get out, im pretty sure techno uses his rich kid capabilities to buy tubbo tommy and ranboo and set them free from being sold, somehow he ends up at the Origins space (I think he follows the trio, sneaks in, and is caught) and lives with the hybrids cause he's a liability if he goes back cause Phil would be forced to kill him.

Teapot is probably not Yixian... slipcasted, thrown, or hand-built? And is it safe to use?

Reports are conflicted on whether it's yixing or not but I unfortunately don't think it is. Either way, is it thrown (I think it is), hand built, or slip casted (others think it is)? And is it still safe to use for tea even if it's not yixing?

I haven't been able to find anything with that seal or same shape or character online, leading me to believe that it's not massed produced. The black characters aren't just painted on, they're slightly engraved.

Luckily I didn't spend a huge amount of money on this and I got it from the thrift store along with a hand painted snuff bottle, so I'm not as disappointed as I would be.

Found this at GoodWill. Who's the artist and what's it say? It's handmade and never used.

I can tell it's handmade by the little mistakes. I can find who made it or what it says, especially since the front is in cursive. I'd really like to know what is says and who made it to potentially find out where it's from. (Pilot V5 for reference cause I don't have a banana)

Is this a type of mint?

Smells minty, like a mix of mint, herbal, sweet, and reminded me a bit of sage/rosemary, when putting face near it, not even breaking it. Plant identification apps are telling me it's Clustered mountain mint but I want a confirmation. Southeastern PA.

Mint, Wild Basil, or something else?

I found it in a field up in Tuscarora, central PA. It doesn't have a strong smell like mint would. The leaves and stem are a bit fuzzy. Image searches are all saying mint or wild basil, but I have my doubts.

Catnip or a look-alike?

Smells minty, soft leaves, growing in field on a mountain ridge in pa, right next to a mullein plant.

Question about mallsai

Would it be considered a mallsai if I propagated a cutting from a wild juniper branch to turn into a bonsai?

And on another note, how do I propegate it? Right now I have the cutting in water but I want to know how to properly do it.

I know it's hard to tell, but what is this and can I bonsai-ify it?

Just wanna know. Might be a maple or oak, they're both nearby and we have squirrels.

What types of bonsai should I get?

I'm new to bonsais (unless you count jade) and i currently have a ginseng ficus but I want to get one that I can style myself, possibly keep inside (but im ok with outside) and will fit in this small pot (4in by 3in). Any suggestions?

Half of my face is less reactive.

I've started realizing as of last year that half of my face is less reactive than the other. I can smile and one half will go up, but the other half I have to force. The same half also produces more tears when I cry and has stronger senses. It's the same with other parts of my body too.

I didn't think this was a big enough deal to go to the doctor over, especially since I've been noticing it for about 2 years now, but I am curious. Could this be a mental thing? I haven't had any strokes, and I'm a teenager so I don't think it's anything old age related.

I think this jade branch is stretching, what do I do?

This branch was starting to look like my perle von nurnberg did when it stretched. I have since then moved all of my plants to the west window rather than the east. Should I cut off the branch and propagate it like I did with the perle?

Beginner, what do I pot this in?

This is a ginseng ficus. When I got it from the store, the pot was way too small so I did an emergency repot. I'm worried about moving it to a shallower pot and if I should because the roots go all the way to the bottom of this current pot. The part i have exposed in the pictures is 6 inches from the soil to top, and its about 3 inches across longest way. The pot is 5.5 inches in height and about 7 across.

Also, I need advice on pruning and what shape to make the branches. I got him a few months ago. This is my first bonsai (unless you count my jades or mini avocado).

Kitsune mask I just started, first clay mask

This if my first ceramic mask. I usually work in plaster, paper machete, air-dry clay, paper, felt, and cardboard, but I felt like trying something new in class today. Anyone got any tips?
