FF artist friends, if you'd be interested in vending at a small scale Ontario fan event happening concurrently with FanFest - please shoot me a DM! Room for about 12 more ( a total of around 20 ) and would love to connect prior to applications to avoid an overage of applicants for so few spots.

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

The union representing Canada's postal workers has called for a cross-country strike in the wake of the federal government announcing major reforms to Canada Post.

Looks like my shops are going to be closing for a bit. Canada Post (and our gov) is continuing to fuck around, wanting to close rural delivery and post offices and other BS. The workers are striking, rightfully so. Keeping an ear out for ways to help the workers. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

LRT - Canada Post has made a simliar statement, so ill be closing up US shipping early as well. I know I said tonight, but I start my job monday and im not 100% sure ill make it to the post office on time before the window closes. I was thinking we might get until wed, but nope.

And it's not just artists going "welp, nobody's gonna pay that fee, so I guess I'll pack it up" it's whole postal services deciding it's not feasible to ship mail to the US anymore 🙃 bsky.app/profile/onid...

Oni@onidraws.bsky.social · last yr.

⚠️ IMPORTANT FOR US BUYERS, PLEASE READ ⚠️ Ok the French postal service, La Poste is now saying that they won't send towards the US from the 25th. I will update my shop this weekend so it will not ship to the US anymore. I will search for alternatives, but for now I will suspend it.
