FINALLY PEOPLE ARE REALIZING HOW COOL LIBRARIES AND THEIR LIBRARIANS ARE!!!!

ETSY STRIKE INFO

I know it’s not my normal content but I’ve shared things about my Etsy shop on here before so I wanted to post about the Etsy strike going on from April 11-18.

We are striking because Etsy has continued to increase fees for shop owners and are increasing their transaction fee from 5% to 6.5%. Myself and many of my fellow shop owners are using Etsy as a primary source of income and this increase would mean we would make even less than we already do.

On top of transaction fees etsy takes .20 per listing posted, .20 to auto-renew a listing (which happens every three months or so), and a payment fee of 3% + .25 per sale.

We are making more demands of Etsy like ending the star seller program, cracking down on resellers, and removing roadblocks between shop owners and their earnings (including their infamously shitty shop support system). Please do more research on your own and educate yourself about the demands and issues in this matter.

I will be participating and putting my shop in vacation mode and we ask that you don’t purchase from Etsy during that time.

Obviously not everyone will be able to participate in the strike but we ask that you support those striking and not purchase on Etsy during those days. If you would like to buy from an Etsy seller during that time contact them directly.

Give your money to artists not corporations.

went to the eco club at college today, we were making seed bombs! we used a british wildflower mix, and we put them in a patch of waste ground that we’ve been trying to turn into a wildlife area :)

Snow day means time to do the tasks inside I keep putting off. Dried sage and dill finally stored and I definitely didn't spill any dill on the floor.

@ people who don't celebrate christmas and are currently having christmas shoved down their throats

Guess who just bought $73.10 worth of books. 😃

Still worth it though.

I owe this man everything for all that stardew valley has given to me.
