I’ve been so busy since the inauguration, I’ve thankfully not been able to look up much. People are big mad and sharing it through their buttons. My little side business that I hoped could one day support my family is supporting my family right now. I keep thinking things will slow down a bit as everyone settles into resistance again, but it has not. I have consistently had anywhere from 50-70 open orders at a time.
People are either reacting with messages of safety and love and support for those affected by the bigots tearing apart democracy or with hate and condemnation for the people doing the tearing apart and anyone who supports them. Sometimes both in the same person. It’s keeping me distracted and alive.
Here’s a few new designs that have come about from customer requests. ❤️
“Safe With Me” in Spanish – Seguro Conmigo
Also by customer request, I bring you ‘I Will Go With You’, a common refrain spoken to trans and nonbinary people trying to navigate an increasingly hostile public bathroom ban. I’d had this on my list to do, but hadn’t gotten to it yet. It’s great to get customer requests, as they give me reason to carve out the time. 😁
Until next time, friends. In the meantime, stay sane and remember… Nazi lives don’t matter. 😉
I’ve been having a crazy amount of sales, specifically of two designs, sometimes together. The one referenced in the screenshot below and a rainbow pride “You Are Safe With Me” button. People are mad or scared or both. It takes a special kind of pathological asshole to use this moment to reach out to a seller on Etsy just so you can bait them.
I took a few deep breaths before choosing not to say any of the 50,000 insults that cropped up in my head at that moment, but remembered it hurts their feewings more if you laugh a them than if you insult them, so…. 😆 face and block. 😉 Oh, and then I take a screenshot and use it to market my product, and make 🤑 on their insanity and hate so I can survive whatever… this… is…
I will be holed up in my house far away from the inauguration from hell, and I will be taking out my rage and irritation by coming up with all the button ideas I possibly can that have some version of “Fuck Trump”.
To celebrate this auspicious occasion, I’m also offering a “Fuck Trump Sale” from now through Thursday! Wootles! Stock up on shit SURE to piss off the MAGAts in your life. 😉
