cleaning my space and found one remaining trilobite bandana. Listing it in my shop at 10:30 CST (in around 15 minutes)
I’ve also discounted some of my old stock that has been fairly stagnant, and some newer large items. I am quite nervous about the future of my shop (although I intend to stick around even if it means massively slimming down what I am able to offer in the coming months)
Microbiome Arts means the world to me. I currently work another job to make additional money and to help run my art business with a little less anxiety. I am looking at spending an additional $800 in tariffs (god willing it doesn’t potentially increase again) when my pending package arrives, and that is money I was planning on putting towards the last $4k of my student loans so I can finally be free of them . I am frankly incredibly frustrated as my shop is primarily what earns me my money in a way that does not put me through the constant cycle of overwork and autistic burnout I find in my minimum wage day job, and like many I’m struggling to plan ahead with the uncertainty that has come with the numbers changing every day this week.
If my art makes you happy, and you have a few dollars to spend I would be so incredibly thankful for those of you that are able to help me get over this immediate hurtle. I know we’re all figuring this out together and my heart goes out to other artists and small businesses in the same situation right now. If you are not financially able, a share or repost is equally appreciated! We are all in this together. Please take care of yourselves!

People used to comment on web comics.
People used to comment on fanfiction.
People used to comment on fanart.
People used to comment on OCs.
I hate "content" culture.
I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.
People used to be excited about the art that other people created.
People used to want to share that excitement with creators.
I hate this future.
Once someone tagged art that I made with "woah" and I think about it at least once a week. Someone else said "oh neat" once. Someone else WROTE A WHOLE DAMN POEM IN THE COMMENTS. Anyways even just one word can change how someone sees their art. You don't even have to think about it too hard. You could put a keyboard smash and I'd probably cry from joy.
I'm also trying hard to interact more, I understand that it's hard to break away from opening your phone and being in Content Consumption Mode.
I honestly hadn't stopped to think about this until I saw this post... I used to think people would get annoyed if they were notified everytime someone posted a comment on their art. I never thought about it being like fanfiction and that they might appreciate comments. Frick, that means I'm part of the problem on here. Thats gotta change.
Every tag, every comment, every reblog with some kind of reaction/opinion or even just one word. All of these things are precious to creators!
I spent countless hours reading and rereading tags full of love people left under my art. All the people i could gift a laugh to or even inspire with something I made mean more to me then you could ever know.
It's what makes me proud of my art!
And to think that you could have enjoyed my art in silence and I would have never known.
A very special shout out to the person who tagged "these mcgriddles make me want to shit so bad" on fanart in 2013 I think about you once a day

Is there beef with the Holstein cows and you or what was that joke lol
It's kind of wild It's just never come up on this blog before, but I HATE holsteins. Bottom 10 cow breeds for me. I hate how they're so common they account for the majority of milk produced. I hate that they're the "default" cow to the point where some don't even know cattle HAVE other colors. I hate their tiny horns (IF THEY EVEN HAVE THAT. LOSER ASS HORNLESS COW) and their painfully massive udders.
Legit I'm trying so hard to not launch into a No Mouth Must Scream style AM speech-- shoot my hand slipped.
(AM speech about why i dont like holsteins below the cut)
