I got a lot of new followers today, hi! A lot of you probably just found me from Tumblr staff featuring me on the @artistalley blog.
I've seen a few people comment that they dislike these featured posts because they're "ads" so I just want to address that for a second
Tumblr does not get any kind of revenue from me through featuring me. I didn't pay them for that. I know a lot of people are disgruntled with Tumblr staff for various reasons but I think the artist alley blog is a great way to spotlight merch artists. It's helping me right now
I am a queer indie fashion designer whose clothing store is my entire livelihood. Sharing and purchasing my work directly supports a QPOC (me). You can dislike "advertising" as much as you want but I hope you know that a lot of individual small businesses are run by people like me and are very small-scale operations (I run my store solo) that rely on self-promotion and features to earn a living. It's incredibly different from big corporate advertising.
dudes who say "I don't like female characters because I'm Gay" are baffling to me wtf has happened to our queens. what happened to gay men being obsessed with barbie and bratz and miss piggy and the golden girls. Personally as a gay man I genuinely cannot enjoy a piece of media if there isn't at least one girl character to obsess over and the men are just there to fuck for my entertainment

Hi! Will it be okay if I'd ask if you could share this Gofundme on your blog?

It had been vetted by nabulsi before and it's still very low on funds. Thank you very much in advance!
Of course! Wonder if anyone would like to match my donation to Siraj's campaign π
