I would definitely love to get 2 of these if you’re good with non-canines as well! (Though one of them would be a canine character!)

I rarely do sales, but right now you can use code LETITSNOW for 20% off of orders $20 or more. Also there’s a “buy 3 items get 15% off" sale going on.

If your flag or pronouns aren't shown in an example, it can be made to order!

Check it out and support a tiny queer business this holiday season!

I'm the perfect scapegoat, and your gift recipient knows you still thought of them (in a perfectly reasonable timeframe). 🙂‍↕️ Plus, time is an illusion, but love is real!

When you order a custom design, I send you a preview image that you can send as a teaser to your gift recipient... or alternatively you're welcome to say "dang, I'm sorry that Etsy shop didn't send your gift in time for Christmas, I definitely didn't wait until the last minute to order!"

Customer trust is at an all time low, customer support is the most unreliable it’s ever been, and Etsy’s priority is to shove AI onto sellers to write customer service DMs. If you can’t write a customer service message you should *not* be vending online.
Absolutely none of this has to be happening.

Fwiw, I like my job and even though I’m definitely not being paid what I wish I were, the flexibility/benefits outweigh that for me, and if I stay I’ll seriously consider going into management. If you’ve got one locally and are good with people I can recommend it, hmu on dm or Discord if you want.

I have a similar problem and so far I have compensated by customer service skills, which only works because I’m at a “customer service comes first” company. However I did get passively pushed off the art team for being too slow at it. 😔

This is so real. I tried their non-photo blue pencil recently and it’s fine, but the eraser literally cannot even erase soft marks made by the pencil it’s attached to. 😔

I’ve used them on top of posca painted wood to good effect, but genuinely unsure what to seal them with because I haven’t found something I like in terms of sealer yet. The sprays I’ve tried have wound up being too dulling, so I leave them as-is. If you figure out a good one please share if you can!

So what you’re saying is there’s no hope for the gray hair either? 😭

Thissss. I have been thinking about going clean-shaven but I know that I’m gonna get assumed I’m even younger *or* get misgendered. 😔

I’m gonna be Peter Panning it until the gray hair comes in I guess??? 😔😔😔😔

I realized last week one reason some managers are treating me the way they are (not in a *negative* way, but definitely in a kids gloves way) is genuinely like… they probably think I’m like 22 *at most*, and I’m getting passed up for greater responsibilities as a consequence I think. 😔
