My first usable mug from my
pottery class. I'm so excited to learn wheel techniques next semester. "semester" (i am not in school -- it's such a low key class after work).
Mad props to my husband for shuffling schedules with me so I can do silly shit like make stuff with clay.

To all the therapists listed on psychology today or headway, why the hell are tou listed if you don't respond to the contact form emails?
It's so hard to find a therapist and being able to fill in the form is half the damn battle.
Being ghosted blows.

I'm just a small artist trying to sell my art and merchandise. For me, the best part about being an artist is making people happy.
Tariffs and customs are not my expertise. Please add any notes or corrections. I've been trying my best to research.
I just want more awareness for a push back 🔸(4/4)

I'm not alone. This goes beyond the art community. Even prices on personal purchases from another country for clothing, collectibles, skincare and EVERYTHING could drastically increase just to get it through customs. Tariff increases has affected us for months, but this makes it much worse! 🔸(3/4)

I CAN'T OPEN MY STORE RIGHT NOW.
I'm not alone. This affects all international artists running their small shops around the world. 90% of my sales are to the US.

I'm scared that a huge issue is not being aware:
On Aug 29th the US is removing the de minimis rule on all packages. Being international, de minimis meant no one payed tariffs on my goods since it was under $800. Now there will be a $80-200 fee to receive my art. Even for a $5 sticker. 🔸(1/4)

If the word "inclusion" makes your ass mad, I'm sorry for you. Go relearn that shit at your nearest Kindergarten, if it hasn't already been defunded and whatnot.

why do recruiters or employers bother contacting you about a job without disclosing compensation?
y'all really expect me to set up an interview without knowing if the pay is comparable to my current position?

I worry about ruining the plastic of the girly to the right if I do a faceup. Even tho she deserves more than factory Blythe realness. I think she's my fav right now, even in her ali express glory.

Today I realized that I started knitting 10 years ago and crocheting 28 years ago.
I hear these are long bits of time. Feels like a blip. O_O
