🤣🤣🤣 I love it!

The trickster is a favorite folklore trope for me. Those stories always take fascinating twists and turns.

Cool piece!

It tastes almost bad enough for me to believe this! 🤣🤣🤣

Cool! I didn't know this.

Fascinating! Wish I were close enough to attend. All my best to the artists and facilitators.

New drop from #MGismsInk. Link in bio. Check out our latest mini mag with creative #prompts from #WorldFolkLore. This week, it's one of two stories about the #BraveLittleTailor.

Mostly observing the day as a quiet, ordinary Monday at home. Also offering seasonal giveaways to celebrate Irish culture.

Huh. Sounds like you want someone who's open to trying old things. 😉

Graphic with green writing and line art on a cream background. The text "Happy St. Patrick's Day" appears over line art of a seal standing beside an Irish hat.

Graphic is a silhouette of a woman's head, created from a collage of other women. Text reads: Happy International Women's Day, March 8

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Take a moment to tell me about an amazing woman. Who is she? What do you admire about her?

Brilliant!

Click here for a #CreativeSoup issue that explores both a gentler modern rendition of #HanselAndGretel and the dark orgins of the story.

Hansel and Gretel is one such tale.

The famine that ravaged Europe at the beginning of the 14th century gave birth to chilling tales of starvation and cannibalism.

Did you know that global warming has given us some of the most bone-chilling tales in all of #folklore?

Thank you!

Does the artisans coop have a secure platform for the sale of digital downloads? My biggest problem in finding a platform for starting up has been finding a *searchable* platform with high traffic that has a secure option for selling downloads.

When you can get it to $10, let me know. I don't like that I'm in that kind of situation, but I held out for working with someone other than Etsy and finally took a mentor's advice and started with Etsy because I wasn't able to afford invisibility any longer.

I will long sing the praises of President Z for this:

1. They can then spend their time on direction the NFP. 2. The director having a competitive salary gives the NFP credibility and helps to attract donors.

Most NFP directors make low(ish) 6 fig incomes, which makes a lot of sense given the long hours and the responsibilities. When I serve as a board member for any NFP, I always advise good pay for the director for 2 reasons:

Are you quoting that libel from the 1980s that has gone viral every Christmas? 🤦🏼‍♀️ The director of Goodwill makes a reasonable middleclass income for directors. I suppose you insist on being right and want disabled people to work for free at Goodwill or get no help at all because you read a meme.

I appreciate that you buy from individual sellers. If there were an easy-to-find solution that didn't cost a lot of money to join, I absolutely would sell there. People boycotting hurts sellers.
