#ZINE AND SMALL CRAFT FRIENDS!

Spending over $5 in my shop during the month of October now means high-fiving a small business, getting cool stuff in the mail, AND supporting the awesome work that PBS has been doing and should be doing for years to come!

As always, today is a good day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, maybe consider signing up for a Patreon. Buy a book, a game, a painting. Commission a new piece. Tell a creator what they mean to you. Signal boost their work.

you know that mental state where once there was too much going on in your head to focus, but now there's too much happening in the world to focus, so all you can do is look for cute & funny things to share w/ others b/c making someone smile is still doing something?

Yeah, that's where I'm at.

NYC! New zine just dropped! "Who is this Zohran Mamdani Guy Running for Mayor?"

It's got important dates, what he plans to do as mayor, how he'll pay for it, why a little socialism is good for us: the regular people, etc!

And of course you can print your own!

right now there's a woman dressed in a Pooh onesie and a little girl dressed in a Tigger onesie sitting outside the apartment across from me. They are casually chatting in character and it is the cutest thing I've seen in weeks.

If I were to start a 'free shipping' sale on my Etsy store and donated all those shipping costs to a charity in need, where would you like to see your money go to?

#cdrama fam!

I usually only watch historical cdramas, so I'm still a noob when it comes to contemporary cdrama tropes and patterns.

Help me out with some details?

common main character jobs
common antagonist jobs
common conflicts
common locations/hang out spots/ etc.

'we're too busy to do this compliant thing' > 'we're too busy, you do it' > 'wait, your labor costs money?' > 'do we have to actually pay tho?' > 'don't worry about it, it just wont get done ever now'

this request is to help inspire a zine, but please also think of it as a fun way to also silently scream across the digital divide because I'm sure we all need a good unbridled yell today (and most days).

GLAM friends!

Send me your favorite historical illustration, painting, or marginalia screams, yells, and faces of disgust!
