#at a point i'm just starting to get sus of the 'but our manufacturer' line bc enough other small (i'm talking 1-2 ppl!) companies

People will be like "please buy from my shop to support a struggling queer artist" and I'll want to but the sizes will only go up to 2x.

Like I know it's their manufacturer, not necessarily their fault, but. They could also have found a manufacturer that went to larger sizes. I don't even have much difficulty finding indie designers that go up to 5x these days; clearly those manufacturers exist. There's enough that it can be quite literally all I buy.

It's just surreal and weirdly irritating to hear "please help me," go to help, and then get hit with the "no, not you."
