Anti-shipping / purity policing wasn't always such a thing, and I'm crossing my fingers we're on the downward trend again

Can report that I see less of them these days, even at generic cons (admittedly blue state sample area) The vibe, at least for now, has grown a lot more healthy queerness 🔥

💯 there will always be those guys, but I'm happy to see far fewer of them at cons these days than 10 years ago. Con culture has a lot more hard-earned queer positivity these days, and it's thanks to everyone out there making and supporting it. Not gonna give that energy up again easily.

I'm pretty confident this is correct! Idk what character you're doing, but I cosplayed a JoJo character a while back wearing the same thing, and had to figure it out:

Bonus: we have a *garment* printing setup, but no drying rack for paper, so it's down to using every available inch of table space in the studio to let them air dry
(Note the one in front where I accidentally printed the black layer off-center)

I've come to like Tristamp well enough, but I still can't abide the coat downgrade. He needs to look like a freaky desert cryptid!

Immediately recognizable. Hell yeah.

We have some small adult sizes too! The previous version was just so small, we only put it on baby onesies 😆

(It's... from Joann's 🙃 but hoping it's universal enough in its utility that it's sold elsewhere)

Ooh!! Haha, then may I suggest my other favorite thing: a portable sewing machine case! It rolls and fits 11x17s shockingly well. Squishy top so you can't stack it, but pretty durable

I like my Ikea ALEX drawer unit, the one w/ casters. It's about 16x23" inside, so might be overkill for tabloid? But it's a great cheap-ish flat file option

It was sold to a private equity firm in late 2024. It hasn't gotten *bad* yet, but I anticipate it's going to get worse. It's already gotten too expensive to keep my shop there and I'm looking to move

Any standout ones you've really enjoyed? I'm going to try to coax some friends to try one together

Roger, I'll look around! 💚 Yeah it looks much nicer on the fingers, with bonus satisfying crunch noises I bet

Yo, mind if I ask where you got that cutter? We've been using a little scrapbooking one and wanna upgrade
