A cost-of-living crisis isn't the easiest time to sell art, but: www.ciaraioch.com is where you can support my work, with each archival-quality print on textured heavy paper being produced here in Ireland, shipping internationally in eco-friendly packaging, with free mini-treats in every order 🎁

Not doing Black Friday because I'm against the creeping Americanisation of Irish life and can't afford to as a small artist, but WILL be doing Vengeful Hag Friday where for every piece of art you purchase from www.ciaraioch.com/artprints I will fervently wish bad cess to your enemies

I benefitted from an earlier offer. I might have waited if I had known about the bad cess to your enemies deal...

I generally spend Black Friday purposefully buying things, often Christmas presents, exclusively from independent artists (visual arts, writers, musicians, jewelers, etc.) Screw uber-commercialism.

So I'd have looked at this shop without the bonus offer. But with it... how can I not buy something?

Seen some AI animated sketches the last couple of weeks and I don't know why you would publish them instead of publishing literally anything else. Or nothing at all.

Really don't want to go back on dating apps, but it's hard to justify when the only men I meet in day-to-day life offline are either 1. in relationships or 2. an amorphous and vaguely threatening mysterious blob sent from the Dark Realm to bring about the end times (hi Keith, if you're reading this)

Bluesky is a bit much at the best of times but every time I accidentally click into Threads it’s like stumbling upon a bunch of people staring dumbly at a really shit museum exhibit. Like are you all being held hostage or what

The concept of a twitter for instagram users is heinous and cursed so I’ve never gone near it. Nothing I’ve heard about it has made me regret that decision

Threads is entirely entitled people screaming "Do better!" at each other.

Thought Twitter was bad but the type of rage-bait on Threads seems to be purposefully designed to drive people insane
