Smol Etsy rant…
Etsy has a program where they force higher performing shops into an advertising scheme that takes 15% off the top of every sale.
They call them ‘Offsite Ads’. If anyone clicks into my shop and makes a purchase within 30 days - they’ll snag 15% off the entire total (+regular Etsy fees, taxes, shipping, all of it).
I just had a ‘sale’ come through for $75. Wanna know much I actually get paid after fees, taxes, and shipping? $32. That’s it.
Please, PLEASE shop directly through Etsy if you are shopping there and supporting small businesses this holiday season! Try to avoid click through Ad purchases!
Thank you,
A stressed Etsy seller

This Etsy request just broke my brain:
“Can you please keep the business card and the gift receipt separate?”
My autism is broken. It’s one box. They’re separate paper items in the box. How do?!! lol
Hey #YEG friends…
Since moving to #Edmonton several years ago, I have had a hard time feeling like I fit here. I frequently find myself saying that I find the city “uninspiring” and I know that is unfair and untrue.
So I ask, what are some of your favourite things to do in town? Where do you feel at home?
Please keep in mind: I am neurodivergent, physically disabled and have limited energy, so accessible spaces are a must.
Thanks! 😊
I used to build websites for a living (2000’s - 2010’s) but holy fuck it’s changed so much I am super annoyed with all the editors and bloat. Don’t even get my started on the AI.
Just. Let. Me. Code. FFS. 🤦🏻
So, my little Etsy shop has been doing well lately. 🎨

When I was first diagnosed as #ADHD and #Autistic several years ago, I carried a lot of shame around things like fidgeting and repetitive movements. With time, I’ve learned to understand myself better and let go of that stigma. This journey is what pushed me to start making fidgets and neurodivergent-focused tools for others, and to share them online. I put a lot of care into creating thoughtful items that I hope genuinely improve people’s lives.
To any who have supported me and found my products useful, thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me and allowing me to help. 💜
So - yay. All that to say that I’m happy. 😊 (Edit: see some of my favourite creations attached)
