Sooooo you know it’s like 9 days until Christmas? Cause I didn’t 🙃 I would love to support all of the small businesses that I know you guys have or love yourselves, but there’s that whole problem of not winning the lottery. Please post links below to your own small business, Etsy page, your best friends, your sisters, whatever! And share so we can have a great comprehensive list of geeky and geek-adjacent small businesses! Get presents for people from somewhere cooler than Target! (No shade target I love you you’re the real MVP)

Okay, you knew that. I know, whatever. But I just kinda was thinking about my name. Weird, I know, right? So yesterday Mom and I found my old Princess Leia ornament for the tree. SO rockin. Anyway, I asked her if she even thought about that correlation when she named me- Star Wars didn't come out too much earlier than me! But nooooo, she says. She had no idea, she says. Haha, Not like I really mind. It's just kinda strange to have an unintentional pop-culture reference for a name. I mean, my name isn't even technically pronounced like that. It's Lee-uh, not Lay-uh. Even my bossman- the other day he called me to ask me something, and someone asked who he was talking to, and he said me and said my name correctly... but he had to mispronounce it for the person to know who he was talking about. I mean, that's like... .... dangit. I had a good comparison. But then I lost it. Um. Um. Um. ... Yeah, it's gone. ANYWAY I guess it's like having an accen

What I wish I could say at work

First world problem, I know. At least I have a job, at least I'm not car-less and completely broke. I even have a job doing nerdy things at a fun place and get free drinks all day. But dear God sometimes I want to punch a baby. We already have rules posted at the shop- nothing specific enough to make people stop acting like ill-bred children or d-bags, but rules nonetheless. The ownerbossman made them though, and he's not always there to see what the issues really are, and what the regulars already know and are good about. So basically what we have isn't doing jack. It's also mostly in regards to treating other customers, not about the employees, which is a little... odd... and sucks for me. Granted, I know why a lot of the things we want to say can't be said- there's no way to put a lot of this delicately and we don't want to lose any customers. But I want to say it anyway.

Update, Patreon, and Getting it Together

-
Hi friends! Thanks for coming and peeking over here, I know facebook is a lot easier to check in on but we all know how FB feels about long posts, keywords, and basically anything other than not taking my money, hahaha/sad Anyway, let's just jump into it- my announcement for today is I'm beginning a Patreon account. My emotions on Patreon are pretty conflicted a lot of times, I have to be honest, and I'm sure you can understand what I mean if you've been online and seen all the backlash that some people get from starting Patreons. I've always been afraid that my work wasn't good enough, consistent enough, or popular enough to warrant anything like this. But then my personal (financial and time restraint)  circumstances changed, and my options were: 1. Stop cosplay nearly entirely, disappoint you and myself, and lose something that brings me and many other people a spark of joy.  or 2. Ask for help, be able to continue, and with the money that I receive
