It is, but in this case, they are not related at all!

One pin that is coming out later this year is a little bit niche. First person to correctly identify what is it can have one for free πŸ‘€

Every time I look at something from the US it's 25$ + $120 shipping and then there's mystery customssssss

If anyone is selling a missmonster head base in the UK, send them my way, especially if they have a 'wolfy' looking one (will consider other countries too but like.....shipping is usually nuts) lol :)))

Sad to be returning to work and BSky with some rubbish news. Scammers are now stealing photos of fursuit makers' creations and using AI to edit them. They then proudly post the slop as their 'latest creation' to dupe people.

Be vigilant out there, and please do share. This is crazy.

You should read and share all these maker's posts, the way this photo was taken and edited is very concerning and it needs more traction

I have no idea what creature she is and she doesn’t either

I gave one chip to my dad and told him he better eat it fast because they all started circling at his feet

I threw a handful of food that bounced off Anna a few minutes ago. She just shook herself like a dog and corn flew out everywhere and they all got excited

Don’t ever feed chickens cheese. They remember cheese. They will get completely unreasonable if they ever catch you with cheese ever again.

They’re currently trying to eat wood shavings again

They will literally start eating Babs if they’re annoyed

Oh god yes, they will sacrifice me at an alter for 1 chip

They’re permitted (1) chip split evenly except for that one time Babs decided she did know how to fly and jumped on my face and horked down like 6 of them. Anyway if you’re not happy with what you’re given violence is always the answer

Yeah honestly, Babs is usually the marketing representative, but she didn't work on this client so I GUESS I shouldn't list her

Also Etsy have changed how postage is displayed on things. An e.g., Β£10 pin with Β£2 postage is shown as Β£12. At a glance it looks like the pins are Β£12 each with shipping coming later. They're not. If you buy multiple Β£10 pins the shipping is combined. Yes this is severely affecting sales!!

This has been a great experience because working for myself means I've largely dodged overtechnical corporate jargon and thus, have never called myself an 'accounts receivable specialist' until yesterday, and I'm going to use that assignment every time someone needs to PayPal me Β£5 now

I had to use a weird online system for a thing this week, but it was kinda geared up for actual companies with several employees, and I'm one guy, so they had to assign me 6 very official roles within my own business, and I'll be pulling that document out whenever a family member calls me unemployed

They have extremely fancy ties in the place I’ll be going, and it’s going to be very difficult not to put the money they gave me back in the till and leave with the ties

The real reason I make enamel pins over anything else is because I can text my manufacturer a jpg over Facebook lol
