Hi folks! My name is Andrea Demonakos, and I’m the owner of White Squirrel, a small business devoted to supporting artists via fulfillment services and management of their online stores. 📦

My Bluesky vibe is a mix of enthusiastic yelling, sharing art, and photos of my garden and hobbies. 💕

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

FORM A CROWD
STAY LOUD
PROTECT EACH OTHER
CODE I:
ICE NEARBY
BLOW QUICKLY IN A BROKEN RHYTHM:
PRE-PRE-PRE!
→ ALERTS THE COMMUNITY THAT ICE AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA.

Commission for a scenery sticker brand

the artwork shows a vertical garden made of four sections. The garden has a fountain, a gate made of arches and four gazebos. There's a circular window on the right side slightly covered by a divider. The garden is decorated with various pots, tiles on the walls, plants and other decorations. There are two small pools in the foreground and a woman with white hair standing in the center of the image. There are 5 more woman in the image sitting on different levels of the artwork. The artwork is mostly blue, green, purple and pink.

Jays vs Mariners!! My former home and my current home, how am I supposed to decide who root for??

I don’t even go here, but it seems hugely insulting that Kamen Rider comic art auctions are only at $5, right??

Hey freelancers, it's about one month from the time when you can submit those invoices in order to get paid before christmas. So,if you haven't already, it might be a good idea to start planning backwards from that. Sorry, but I hope that helps someone.

Comic cons *do* make me a little sad because all these comic artists and writers I admire are frequently very clearly not doing amazing, and to be mad AS AN ADULT about them not living up to your eight-year-old self’s disneyfied expectations is absolutely unhinged sociopathy imho

The holidays are coming up, if you're thinking about shopping small businesses for gifts, it's a great time to start that ^^ Especially for us in Canada, with Canada Post returning to rotating strikes, there may be delays.
Here's a pack of Canadian Small Businesses!
