#SelfPromoSaturday let's go! 💪 Let's see what things you've been working on and are proud of. Take the opportunity to uplift your fellow creatives and promote your own stuff at the same time. No AI projects thank you.

It is not so much the case that I consider myself to be Covid conscious or Covid educated or a Covid realist or Covid aware or Covid informed so much as that I hope one day to be able to consider myself a survivor of the Covid pandemic and I know that day has not yet come.

As a fellow small business owner and product designer in another industry, let me say clearly for the folks who don't get it--making good things CHEAP requires something called "economies of scale" (Google it) and **our small market reach doesn't support that.** Our production model is different.

Today is #LongCovidAwareness Day, & March is LCA Month. 5 years later, #CovidIsntOver - it's still infecting, disabling, & killing new people every day. It's ruined the last 3 years of my life, part why I don't post here nearly as often as I'd like! #AwarenessRibbon ⬇️
