It’s just so nonsensical. I have no idea how to prepare for any of this because it’s 50/50 as to whether or not anything will happen.

I’m pissed off and burnt out and have already laid off my entire team so I can go it alone.

I just feel broken right now.

More tariff updates: I have no idea what’s going on.

I predict that most small companies that rely on US business are about to have a real bad time.

January Marika foolishly thought she could transition the business into something run by one person in 3 months.

August Marika knows better.

I was hoping to start doing custom commissions again in the fall, but it may not be until next year.

Been GOING THROUGH IT folks, so don’t expect to see much of me here!

Just dropping a line to say:

We are still exempt from tariffs, I’m exhausted by what tariff speculation is doing to my business and KE is still chugging along.

Preference would go to queer/trans artists in the fur community. I feel like that’s a given with me, but bears repeating!

Would love to commission some artwork of Selky and my new fursona to turn into stickers to include with orders.

Can y’all recommend some artists who do squeaky fursonas?

Found a shiny @tajikaze.bsky.social by the elevators at FWA!

Honestly I’m super cool with speed cameras being used as a revenue source. Like if you’re gonna break the rules you get a fine.

The most divisive moment of Eurovision:

Was Nemo wearing a hat or a wig? @eurovangelists.com

My douze points go to #eurodab

What a fever dream that was!! Joking aside I was certain Sweden was gonna take it. I think if Italy hadn’t been so successful in their protest the scoreboards would look very different.

What a night! Such drama!

Wow. That was one wild time at Eurovision.

You know what sucks? Almost everything right now.

The Punk Rock Ethos is part of my core value system.

Oh that’s your order that just came in!! I’m so excited to make it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was all lies and subterfuge. The toy was thrown days ago.

But the liberals won, so I don’t regret playing dirty. 🤣

The beauty of this move is that the ballot was almost 1m (39”) long! It takes 5x longer to report on such a long ballot. So while the rest of Canada knew the results, Polievre was in limbo until almost 5am when they called his riding (and he lost)

Polievre dubbed “Temu Trump” gets ousted in his own riding by thousands of votes.

Shoutout to the Longest Ballot protestors who blew up the ballot on his local riding - 91 names on the ballot, 85 of whom were protesting election reform.

And a previously unreleased scandalous set…

EVERYONE CALM DOWN.

All toys were thrown. All bellies were rubbed. Those were all days old photos and all pups had already received treats, toys, etc.

I know. I know. It was a gross last minute misinformation push designed to strike terror in the heart of the electorate.

But as promised: Opi

Same! The liberal candidate for my riding is a former Toronto police chief. 😵‍💫 But I’m voting for him anyway cause it’s either liberal or conservative in my neighborhood.

If you don’t vote, OHSA won’t get belly rubs.

Vote or I don’t throw the toy.

Seriously I have a 5 photo drop of sickeningly cute Frenchie photos that I’ll drop if Carney is our PM tomorrow.

Am I weaponizing cute dog photos? Yes. Yes I am.

Go vote or Opi will stop loving you.

If you’re Canadian and you haven’t voted/don’t plan to vote you’re part of the problem.

I’d rather you vote against what I stand for than not at all.

But like also, can we not elect Polievre? What a slime bag.

It’s a tough call but I’m at a point where I know that I have to protect my own wellbeing because ultimately I shouldn’t expect anyone to advocate for me if I’m not advocating for myself.

Good on you for making healthy choices! Sugar is my next hurdle!

Lettuce, nasturtium, marigolds and a couple different squash. Just easy salad fixings.

I got some worker bees for the garden (a mini hive of mason bees and leaf cutter bees) so hopefully I have better luck with my vegetable yield. I’m no good at manually pollinating anything
