I'd like to remind some organizations that I don't work for free or peanuts and you can't expect me to cover my travel expenses (ferry, airplane, hotel, gasoline...) for a speaking engagement. This is not realistic. I'm grateful to entities that #SupportSmallBusinesses like mine.
Falls ihr noch last Minute kleine Weihnachtsgeschenke sucht:
Schaut im Zweifel doch sonst mal, ob ihr bei kleinen Läden/Künstler*innen nebenan oder online etwas findet! Die freuen sich über jeden Kauf hunderte Male mehr als irgendeine Kette und ihr habt dabei auch noch persönlichere Geschenke!
The next time you see a writer, an artist or another creative person promoting their work in the Fediverse ... and you are annoyed by this, please take a look at the quote by Durgadas Allon Duriel.
And this is also a friendly reminder that artists and small businesses are not huge corporations or companies with a lot of money. These people have to pay their bills etc. like everyone else. So they have to talk about their works and products.
We all want to #SupportSmallBusinesses but sometimes we may not have the extra cash. As a #SmallBusiness, we 100% understand! Good news, there are plenty of ways to show your support without spending a dime!
Spreading the word about your favorite small business or sharing their social media posts is one of the best ways to support them.
Every follow, favourite, boost, comment and review help more than you know 💙
Please check out my etsy shop, and maybe pick something up!
I've got stickers about a variety of things, candles, and rose salve available at the moment... with cayenne salve coming down the line as soon as the packaging for it comes in!
There's free shipping on orders over $35, and free shipping on stickers!
Hey lovely peeps! My friend Brooke is having a bit of a slog with her small business right now and could do with some serious love. If you like casual, beautifully crafted clothing designed with care, I highly suggest you check her out. Feel free to repost to give her a hand.
