It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

* very unconstitutional

If you’re protesting in Santa Rosa CA tomorrow, there’s a craft market happening in The Square alongside the protest (been planned for months) - so PLEASE be respectful of the small businesses and show them love. Many are having a helluva time, esp w the tariffs, and could use the extra support

Are the Trans and Pride flags also banned on this app or just Threads 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈??

Is ANYONE left to work on rescuing the abandoned astronauts?

Folks loved seeing Tembo in his stroller. I got stopped a lot and explained he couldn’t walk b/c his leg cancer.

With Porter folks seem much more judgy. Is it cuz he’s smaller? I want to put a sign on him “I’m 17.5 and slow as sh*t”

When your order from a small biz is delayed (shipping & delivery), don’t write a bad review of the business. Instead write to the Postmaster.

Once we drop off packages it’s completely out of our hands, we see the exact same tracking info as you, & the Postal Workers don’t give us special updates.

My lil Valentine this year! Porter, I love you so much.

Happy Galentine’s Day to all who celebrate! There’s just something special about the pals you can have roller coaster convos with.

Sonoma County Folks:
Swing by Retrograde Roasters today to fuel up and snag some Valentines Day goodies. I will be there 10-2 with some awesome fellow local makers.

If the Constitution is meaningless, can we at least abolish guns
if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.

One of the big Bay Area craft/artisan markets is finally cracking down on AI art and Temu/Shein crap and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I hope more markets follow suit.

No surprise this was a best seller at my event this past weekend. I feel ya, folks.

Come with me to do my first event of the year: a pop-up at Anthropologie in Walnut Creek, CA. It’s a cool opportunity to get my stuff in front of their customers when they may not have found me otherwise.

Folks boycotting Target and the like and you wanna shop small:
1. Create a bookmark folder in your browser w subfolders for different categories (ex. Stationery & Office Supplies, Adult Clothing, Kids , Pets, Decor, Gift, etc) and bookmark as you find them. Even local shops!

So you wanna boycott Target and shop small brands directly.

Will you really tho? Some will. Some will *right now* while it’s top of mind.

But will you in 6 months? Will you gladly pay shipping?

My “mini” setup today at Anthropologie. It’s hard to pick what to bring and what to leave at home.

I have my first event of the year tomorrow at Anthropologie in Walnut Creek from 12-4. There will be a handful of local artisans. It’s very cool they host these events.

I did an intro post on YT - connect with me there! I don’t have equipment for longer form content yet, but will post my other social media videos there for folks who don’t like Meta and TikTok. And that is my work around for videos here because of the 60 sec limit here.

Shout out to the customer doing their best to keep the coals of hope alive by buying this print tonight.

One way to dethrone the oligarchs? Shop small and shop local as much as possible.

It may be less convenient and it may be marginally more expensive sometimes, but it’s worth every penny.

Oh, and don’t shop your local Nazis. You’ll probably figure out who they are pretty quickly.

Weird, I can see my TikTok profile and watch my own videos. No pop up. But everything else says the internet connection is down.

Went thru old TikToks today and found this one w my favorite big guy, Tembo, who passed away in April. Feels pretty appropriate to repost for the weekend

You thought Instagram Reels were bad now….
January 19, 2025 at 4:21 AM
Feels appropriate the video in the background is of The Struggle Bus loading onto a tow truck and the gal yells, “The Struggle Bus broke down! What now?!”

End of an era! I will miss you as you are, TikTok.
January 19, 2025 at 4:18 AM
I will be pissssed if Meta bought TikTok. I really wanted to keep using TikTok, but REALLY don’t know if I want to if it’s Meta.
