Eh what the hell. I'm extending the silly specials for one more day.

The 30% off everything (automatically) too.

And today is the last day for my fall collection too.

So. Uh, if there's something in the store you like...today is a good day to get it. It's cheaper that way.

You're so kind, thank you.

I know what I do is a luxury and not for everyone, but oof has it been EXTRA rough this year.

Black Friday 2025 Special items only available during this year's Black Friday Blowout Sale November 28 & 29!

Its the last day of this sale.
And honestly, I think it's the last I'll do for a long time.
This year has been hell for creative trying to share their work with people.

Life is just better when the #PearlJamCounter shows up.

A lot of us aren't even DOING Black Friday discounts. We're already struggling and need every dollar.

I am - anywhere from 20-30% off - but no, I can't do that 70% off thing.

I'm not a huge retailer. I'm not Amazon.

I'm a small time creator who just wants pieces to be more accessible.

Hi, a loving reminder that most of us small creators, artists, businesses....yeah we can't do big "Black Friday Discounts." So please stop with the "whay ydo you MEAN your discount is only 20% on black friday" thing.

The amount of times I've heard that already this week...oof.

Tomorrow morning.

I'm yelling into the void again, but hey, why not?

I'm a small time artist with too much stuff at home and I want it in other people's homes.

And tomorrow almost everything I have created in the last like 10 years is coming back to my shop for a few days.

And discounted.

*tap tap hello*

I just still can't get any desire to come on here. At least over on threads and whatnot theres action, activity, and pictures of the northern lights.

How do you guys stay interested in this place??

The sports are weird today.

Bestie.

Donatoooooooo

The No Kings protests aren’t about trying to stop elections or interfere with government business. They are at their core about reminding a government that has wholly lost sight of the fact that it is supposed to be serving the people and not itself. That’s as American as it gets

Well, see you all in April-ish.

If I so much as SEE Shota tonight, i will fucking rage.

I like when I'm wrong.

Thanks Cubs.

Here comes Palencia.

Everyone clench.

I HOPE I'm wrong. Genuinely.

But....

It's felt FUN, and not BAD, but...there's something missing.

The vibes havent been right the entire season. Decent, but not "the right ones." I can't explain it, but I haven't "felt it" like I did in "the good days"

I'm gonna go with no.

Oh sure, let's hand it over to the other gig i can't deal with. Who's next? Brown?

The barf trifecta.

I'm not sorry.

He makes me hate watching this team.

Not a fan, probably never will be.

And lately, he's done a great job at cementing that for me.

Just checking in to see how Shota is doing.

I see its EXACTLY as expected.

I confess, I will not watch tonight's game because Shota gives me heartburn and I'm not in the mood for it.

....*sigh*

Nope.

....hahahaha YIKES.
