kind of gross out for the tail end of august!!
the pharmacy didnt have the covid vax in yet, so i settled for just the flu vax. its not really giving me much trouble, just making my arm a lil achey. tho i was pretty tired yesterday, i went to bed earlyyyy
the sticker club rewards for august and july are now in the mail! i'm throwing a few things at the wall in terms of merch to see what looks good, and will split those up with print club members. plus i've restocked some convention prints that sold out and ordered a few new ones.
ultimately the issue with merch is that i don't want to order things that make me feel bad. this is very vague, but for example, i feel bad about the waste that a batch of plastic keychains would produce. or plastic standees. this isn't to throw shade on people who get them, it's just that for -me- i can't look at that item and be like 'hell yeah lets go' because my brain is instead focusing on 'what about the fact that itll be in landfills long after all your work is forgotten'
SO that kind of limits merch, since a LOT of it is plastic-based these days. but i'm going to look into wood cut/burnt stuff, and textiles are ok by me. so maybe glasses cloths or lanyards or something down the line, we'll see.
"but some textiles are made with plastics!"
yeah dont ask me, i dont control the fixations that the brain comes up with. if i did, things would be a lot easier round here.
gonna head into boston tomorrow to help duen do a cleanup, which should still gimme time to recover before im back to work.
the tomato plants are going bonkers, i came in with an armload today and that was after chucking two the wildlife had been nibbling on. stuffing them into the freezer for when its time to make sauce. itll be so good.
perhaps tomorrow i will post from the train
