Kittynaut and Third Party Platforms

Authored By

Social Media Changes TL;DR -- we're reducing our social media use; we will keep our handles but primarily will be posting to Instagram.  Kickstarter and Etsy will no longer be linked on our carrd.  Our Patreon is on hold. We've been on a pretty lengthy hiatus for a much needed rest and reset.  During that time, Kittynaut as a studio had been cutting back on social media use.  We've made a decision to cease using certain platforms altogether (such as Tiktok -- nothing personal, it's simply too hard to keep up with so many profiles).  As circumstances change, we may...

The Fight for Reproductive Rights Continues

The Fight for Reproductive Rights Continues

Authored By

To everyone, to all of my friends, I love you all, and I will fight for you. ~ Last year, I released a series of pins, stickers, and prints for the express purpose of fundraising for pro-choice organizations (e.g. NARAL). I am proud to have donated $1,500 toward this cause that is so important to me. A year later, I thought I would take time to document my thoughts and share what I am seeing.  Now that Roe is gone, there have been a number of new laws passed specifically to criminalize and remove access to abortion. ~ Right now,...

 So I made a post on instagram to announce publicly that I will be participating in the Etsy strike (as ya do). Link to insta post: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb3oUkkr30Y/ I wanted to talk a little further in detail about my personal feelings and opinions about this strike and labor in general. I am striking in solidarity with artists/crafters/small businesses around the world because I believe that our talent, hard work, and labor deserves utmost respect.  I will not back down or slip into complacency about that, ever. I feel that Etsy vs Sellers is barely different from any other traditional strike (except we have...
