I’m selling hand drawn stickers to raise money for displaced Palestinian families! Visit the link in my bio or click here to get yours and save a life!

I handed out some of my hand made stickers at the red line rally on June 8th in front of the White House. They’re great for sticker bombing!

PLS DON'T SKIP !!

Hi, I'm layla, a dental student from Gaza!!

I have the responsibility to save my 7 family members from the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Last month, I was displaced again to the almawasi area under the sounds of bullets, leaving everything behind me. I was not able to bring any of my family necessities, so now me and my family and I are even without a tent without a cover above our heads. I'm trying now to raise funds to buy a tent which costs 2000$. Yes, you read the number correctly. Prices are astronomical in Gaza. So pls donate to my kofi ASAP!! It's really urgent 💔 if u can't donate, share with your friends, moots, or anyone could help🙏

I'm right now here in this like desert place. We're not lucky enough to have a tent yet :(

I could barely record the video below pls watch with audio on! 👇 when the occupation forced us to leave our houses under threat of bullets as u can hear.

if u still don't believe me and want more proof of my situation in Gaza, pls dm me, I can prove everything!

AFTER ALL WHAT I WITNESSED, I JUST WANT A SHELTER TO MY FAMILY PLS DONATE AND SHARE 🍉🙏

Reblog is really appreciated🙏🥹

Tragedians are one of my favourite metanarrative aspects of Pathologic; the tutorials presented as the stagehands observing the production, commenting and advising! It's clever, but that's apropos for Pathologic anyway, I think 😉 These three are in my shop here if you'd like to take one home with you! Even if you can't nab one this time consider following my shop to see updates 💝

Hey!! It’s EXHAUSTING to run a small business — but YOU can help!! Yes, YOU!! YOU have the power to make a difference in other people’s lives. In your own community.

Literally the biggest thing to help us small businesses continue to exist is by giving us money. Shop with us.

BUT THAT’S NOT THE ONLY WAY!!

If you can’t afford to do so, tell your friends to shop there. Help us advertise because advertising is a huge amount of labor and requires tons of money. It’s hundreds of dollars, sometimes thousands, just to appear on the radio for a few minutes. We do what we can with the free advertising and promotion through our social media pages, but often that’s not enough. you can still help.

Also, make it a point to STOP shopping through places like Amazon, Walmart, TJ Maxx, the Dollar Store, Etc. I promise, it’s not as hard as it might sound. If you know the name of a business that feels like it exists everywhere (Starbucks, McDonalds, Barnes & Noble, The Home Depot to name a few) that means the money you give to that business is being sent directly away from the community you live in. Sure, some of it is used to pay the employees in the store, but the location exists because it *profits*. Those profits are not being kept in your community, and unless billionaires regularly visit your neighborhood and spend their money, it’s NOT coming back.

By shopping at these businesses, You are mailing money to people who already have more than they could ever need, and in turn, devastating your local economy and breaking the hearts of your friends, family, and neighbors that work tirelessly to offer you their businesses.

One of the smallest things you can do to help is just to VISIT the businesses in your community. My shop has existed for more than two years, on a Main Street, and still there are people that live less than two miles away discovering we exist for the first time. It makes me smile every time. Stop in and say hi!!

When you shop small, you’re building a stronger community and giving more value to your neighborhood. When you shop at the small local business, you’re paying your neighbors— this will allow them to fix that broken down car in their driveway, replace their roof after 12 years, reseal their windows, buy a new weed whacker, replace that refrigerator they’ve had for 28 years to reduce their energy bills, and give their children better lives. We’re not asking for much. We’re not trying to hire people to build rockets for us so we can go to space. We’re asking for food and shelter. We’re asking to replace the heat lamp in the chicken coop and to have just a little more time to sit by the fire in the wood stove and knit a blanket for our loved ones so there can be some sort of long lasting sign that we existed in this world and we actually made something.

I’m in a small town so this might sound a little rural, but the same goes for cities. The destruction of the small town is also true for the small city neighborhood and contributes to urban sprawl. If the city doesn’t have it, the suburbs do, and people commute to find their “big box stores” as we say, which contributes to the traffic that EVERYONE hates. Shop at the places in your neighborhood — the places that are run by your neighbors.

If you want sources: There are books, articles, studies, that you can read on how this impacts local economies. There are documentaries, podcasts, and lectures on how small businesses create our community cultures and how large corporations are the primary cause of wealth inequality across the world. The information is out there. Please go seek it.

I see and hear so often people describing how they feel a lack of community, they feel alone, they feel like they’re losing their culture and sense of self. This is how culture, tradition, community, art, sustainability, TOGETHERNESS, is built. Shop local. Shop small. Make a difference.

Shop Update!

Hiya there! It's been a little bit. I've been a bit busy with classes, but I can see that light at the end of the tunnel!

There's been some minor price changes and restocks on certain items (specifically my Kingfield pins and my NiGHTS charms) but I'm also announcing a new item added to the shop! A 3 inch charm of P03 from Inscryption.

Those who follow my Etsy may have noticed that I had a couple of these guys listed a month-ish earlier, but they sold out so fast I never even got to make a proper update post for them! (Thank you, Clay.)

We'll now they're definitely here to stay! I've got a lot more this time, and I hope those who missed out now get their chance to have a charm of this silly little goober.

As per usual, I've got a sale going on now on my shop from today until the 21st. Enjoy 25% off!

As a final note, yes, I do intend to keep working on the Super Punch Out charms, I'm gonna try and get a few more done early summer and probs do a wave 1 preorder. though knowing myself I'll probs just do all of them in the span of 2 weeks at some random time bc I totally love being consistent with my workflow >:]

Regardless, thank you all for stopping by! Have a good rest of your weekend!
