The ten item limit is lifted for this because it's seasonal, if you already maxed out your week.

Thank you!

Our release for @peculiarityshop.bsky.social was a wild success. Half the items were gone by day one. I still have three weeks to Halloween and spooky stuff I'd love to move.

This is one of the last workspaces still functioning in all of Gaza, and it’s in the north where the IOF is focusing its ground invasion. And the kids are still coming for their exams, and the team is still helping them—to ground their community in the land and resist ethnic cleansing. Join in.

I don’t care about being correct. If you care about digital rights, this is a volunteer-run tech space supporting dozens of kids for their exams this week. In Gaza City. Which is being invaded.

- Hillary is currently eyeballing pillowfort among other possibilities, but this is all very nebulous (and stressful).

We just wanted you to know we see what's going on, we're upset, too, we're making plans because of it.

Solidarity. Love.

And, as always, thank you for supporting us.

- Patreon WILL be a thing so folks who want to support queer artistry can, but we're also in a recession right now so starting that up feels ill-timed, but I'll add a tip jar via ko-fi on our main site so folks can throw a few dollars at the artists for classes or supplies. 6/?

Beyond that:

- Meg has been crossposting to threads/Instagram. Follow us there!

- we're going to do a newsletter you can opt into to tell you what the shop dweebs are doing.

- we're working on a Discord server, with proper community guidelines, for eventual wider release. 5/?

We just had a meeting about the things we can do to remain in touch should the hand of the techno-gods descend upon me with righteous fury.

Meg was wise to point out the one thing we always control is our own website, so bookmark that, maybe, as a first step. 4/?
