Thanks, Ponyfan I slept most of the day and feel worse. The whole left side of my head hurts. My neck hurts on both sides, I can hardly turn my head. I tried to feel for lumps like swollen lymph nodes or something but can't feel anything. My ear is really bothering me bad. I had ice on it and my jaw earlier. I'm going back to bed and try heat.
Quote from: Pokeyonekenobie on October 01, 2021, 08:51:19 AMMy friend invited me to sell stuff at a craft sale with her again. I am going to do it but I don't expect to sell much (if anything) because the audience might not be right for my crafts. (If someone is looking for a "Welcome" sign in Dutch, they're not going to spend money on a fandom inspired art piece.) And the last time I did a sale with her one of the other vendors (who had outrageously priced "found" wood pieces that she had painted "Welcome" on in cheap paint) told me that I would sell more if I put "Salt Lake City, UT" on my stuff because then it would be a "collectable". I am not destroying my designs with a tacky city name. If people want that they can actually GO to Salt Lake (I am not from there and wasn't selling there at the time, either) and get a cheap, overpriced souvenir at the mall or airport.My mom said that maybe I need to adjust my prices to the audience. So instead of pricing my work based on the value of my skill and time I should price it like a garage sale and lose money just because I'm surrounded by people who aren't interested in my art style? I hate how people devalue artists and their work. If you want a crappy piece of mass produced garbage, go to Walmart. If you want a one-of-a-kind art piece that nobody else will ever create (and I will likely never create again as I do not tend to reproduce my own work) then you pay the asking price. My prices are not unreasonable and cheaper than Etsy so I'm not going to change them. And if you think you can do a better job than me, go ahead. I'm not stopping you. Yes 100%. Be firm on your prices.

omg Facebook is down
Today or yesterday there was an incident where these protesters actively blocked an ambulance from getting through to a hospital (although other drivers moved the protesters aside to let it through). This is not an XR protest, but the head of XR has explicitly said that it's okay to block ambulances, even if the people inside die, because 'the bigger crime is the one against the planet'.
