I didn't have any blog posts last week because, naturally, I was changing the software in production. But, happy Juneteenth - the flag emoji is free in the shop, and the 3-stripe version makes a good Pan-African flag.

I've been working on getting the shop pages a little more correctly reflecting the different marketplaces, and didn't want to re-generate the site until that was a little cleaner. It's still a little clunky but functional: now for instance (as of this writing) the bubble-tea charm correctly shows that it is currently purchaseable on Gumroad for $1.99, but is $1 Tier on Ko-Fi until the middle of next month, will be PWYW for everyone for two months after that, and then will be $1.99 on Ko-Fi as well. Gotta tone down the giant default buttons and make it prettier, but it's there.

The possums have been and gone without ever getting mentioned on the blog, but that is how ADHD works. See, the various sprinkles fabrics got me looking in the Spoonflower box for the color swatch table, and I remembered the possum dragons, made them, posted them, and listed them as a group of four. Surely no one would buy them, the preprint dragons are expensive to make and no one would buy four at a time. I figured I'd leave them listed awhile and then sell them off individually and, welp. I guess I'm ordering more possum-print minky. I'm also going to be sliding these into listings gradually, rather than doing a big shop drop, so keep an eye on the What's New section.

Lastly, completely unrelated, I got entirely mad at JoAnn's twitchy website because it gives me a motion-sickness headache. I can't think what search terms to use such that someone can find this, but if you want to stop the sliding images as you scroll through their inventory, put this in the My Filters section of uBlock Origin. (If you're not using an ad-blocker, you really should. If you're using Privacy Badger, I thiiiiiink it will take these?)

Update 2023-02-18: JoAnn has stopped using Yottaa and now hosts it directly, so if the above doesn't work for you, try this instead.
