Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

print reproductions are hard with textured paintings using a dry brush technique, but this turned out nicely

A majority of final mile service to Bumblefuck, Nowhere exists thanks to postal services. Ask UPS or FedEx to deliver to your wind-swept cliff cabin and they'll tell you to kindly eat ass and then pick your shit up at one of their centers.

Love and support your postal workers.

pretty little owl ⭐️🌙

his greed sickens me

nuthatches are invading my feeder and i’m not mad

red breasted nuthatches gotta be one of my top 5 birds. they’re just so cute it makes me wanna sob

commission 🕊️

all shipping, canada post is on strike so there’s no discount on small packets or lettermail with other couriers unfortunately.

i've set up shipping to the US with tariffs included in the shipping cost. its a flat fee of $30 to send anything to the US with both shipping and the 35% fee included. for smaller orders (below $20) i will refund you the difference.

i also have bird commissions open: forms.gle/CQv5P4tS5YaN...

if they’re over a year old, i put them up on my shop like other stickers if nobody buys them from my ko-fi shop or in person events! i had stuff from 2+ years ago until i started doing this

literally lol almost everything i want needs to be thrifted or found through ebay, artists or local shops. amazon is garbage!!!

people need to make wish lists on word/docs again. i hate amazon and i’m not gonna buy you generic stuff off amazon for your birthday? not when there’s so many small businesses struggling that carry cool, interesting stuff

my brain is so much happier being off social media. i spent maybe 10 minutes today replying to messages. read a book, ran some errands, did some art and cooked dinner with my partner instead yippee 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

secured. i’ve been meaning to read it forever, thank you for reminding me

what are your favourite books that changed your perspective on life? not particularly self help books, even just some fiction that opened your mind

looking for something to hit my soul like a rocket launcher tbh

i think it’s time to visit the library and search for books tomorrow
