I am several celebratory mimosas in and made myself the Four Seasons Total Landscaping shirt I desperately wanted in my life. If you want it too, I'm tossing all profits to the Georgia runoffs. shopclass.threadless.com/designs/four-s…
I think we've raised $500 for the Georgia runoffs so far(profits are between $1.5-$7 per shirt, Threadless is slow to update profit dashboards)?!!
to be clear, I am donating profits to the DEMOCRATS(Ossoff and Warnock) in the Georgia runoffs, as well as grassroots progressive GOTV orgs led by BIPOC, in case anyone did not already know me and was confused.😂
It will take some time for Threadless to get me an accounting and payout of profits(but I think it’ll be $5000+) but I’ll split the profits between Warnock and Ossoff campaigns, and Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight(fairfight.org), which is doing integral voter access work!
tl,dr;
1. We raised $28k+!! 2. This is now a tax problem for me! 3. Please be patient as I sort accounting, and wait 2 weeks for Threadless to actually send/transfer money. 4. Here are my max contribution receipts for the Senate runoff campaigns. 5. Shirt comes down at 2pm PST.
So, this is not my first fundraiser and I have been self employed for years; this is a surprise, but not a fluke.
I know what non-profit donation tax deductions are and the effect they have on your taxes, please rest assured that I am more familiar with my taxes than you are.
This shirt was available for 24 hours on Nov 7th, in celebration of the absurdity of the end of the Trump campaign.
It was never available on black, and it is no longer available for sale, because some things are meant to be ephemeral and orange, like sunsets and Gritty’s fur.
I left tote bags up(because I can't have an empty listing to simply inform people of this), and 100% of those proceeds are going to the National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network(Threadless does not list any voting rights non-profits). shopclass.threadless.com/designs/four-s…

I like that I make a living off selling art, but I also feel really gross and capitalist, so next event, I’m going to have special items that you can only acquire by trading with me.
Things I will trade for: 1. A cool rock. 2. A story about your favourite roadside statue.
I don’t know what they’ll be, probably super limited edition stickers and zines and mystery bags that I’m going to wrap up in brown paper tied up with string.
Some other things I would like:
- a character sheet or dnd map you made before the age of 18
- bones.
- nice sticks.
My next convention is SDCC, and if I gotta stand for five days selling and smiling, it is best if I sometimes got to pretend I am a travelling gnome merchant with a penchant for vintage bottle caps and nice rocks.
