I want to focus better on developing my art skills and so am closing my sticker shop until September. I might check bsky between now and then, but I am taking a social media break as well so I can focus on developing my art skills See you in September!

Definitely thinking about this "missing middle" discussion about how fandom has changed... everything is at extremes.

It's time for the 2nd Quarter Pop Culture Report with Kayleigh Donaldson! @ceilidhann.bsky.social  We talk a LOT about fandom, and fan behavior - and why the algorithm is creating really unhinged fan choices.  Listen where you get your shows, or right here: https://bit.ly/726Q2PopCulture

And I guess there's also... (3) Become an archivist in some capacity. If not for video games, than for something else. Impermanence is a fact of life, but there are way too many forces working to accelerate the ruin of the things you love. Keep and care for your treasures great and small.

Read @torrent-empress.bsky.social very good thread about art websites just being instagram again and this prompted me to go read their article about DeviantArt. As one who was on DeviantArt and on other art sites since, i feel a lot of this. Article here: torrent-empress.leaflet.pub/3m37b3rvq4c22

The Death of DeviantArt and the art-site shaped hole haunting the Internet

Why every new "Art Community" fails. Equal parts eulogy, condemnation, and mourning.

If you are wealthy, I think you should spend more money on clothes. There's no pride in buying clothes for the lowest possible price, as this puts downward pressure on garment worker wages and increases the likelihood of exploitation.

JD Vance tweets: "She bought a $50 dress for $8.75. America: meet your next director of the federal budget!" He retweeted his wife, who showed that she purchased a $49.99 Old Navy dress for $8.75 after markdowns and coupon codes. On May 27, 2026, the Workers Right Consortium published an article saying: "Haitian Factory Making Old Navy, Hanes Remedies Illegal Firing of Pregnant Workers, Union Leaders After engagement by the WRC with the brands Gap Inc. (owner of Old Navy) and Gildan (owner of Hanes), 14 women who were unlawfully fired have received remedy. Each of these workers received the equivalent of 22 months’ back wages and a commitment of priority rehiring from The Willbes, a garment factory in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, that supplies the two brands. As the WRC previously reported, The Willbes carried out a mass layoff in 2024 that resulted in the firing of more than a dozen workers who, at the time of their dismissal, were pregnant or were union leaders. The dismissals occurred in violation of their protected status under Haitian labor law and, by extension, violated each of the buyers’ codes of conduct. The Willbes is a supplier of apparel to Gap for its Old Navy brand and to Hanesbrands, now a subsidiary of the Canadian apparel corporation, Gildan. The Willbes unlawfully dismissed the pregnant workers and the factory union leaders when it shut down four of its production buildings and laid off more than 900 employees. While some of the workers affected by the layoff were allowed to transfer to jobs in the portion of the factory that remained open, five workers who were pregnant and nine who were leaders of the factory union were illegally denied the opportunity to keep their employment."
