All apparel is 25% off through December 2, and 15% of EVERY sale is donated to a blue cause. Most recently, we donated to Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina to help our neighbors affected by the government shutdown and limited SNAP benefits.

The primary way I contribute to our fight is through creativity. While I never would have predicted that my nerdy shop would become a hub of liberal outrage, I'm happy for it to be. Current events inspired me to create two Charlotte-centric designs for other Queen City citizens.

Being "from here" made it hurt all that much more when CBP invaded our streets, and made me that much prouder of the way my neighbors stood up against the terror and the tyranny. I am SO PROUD of how my city showed up and showed out to protect our vulnerable neighbors.

We raised $92.28, but I rounded the donation up to an even $100 to provide 700 pounds of food to the food bank! Thank you to everyone who continues to support FairyNerdy. ❤️

Immigrants in this country are under vicious attack, and I am more than happy to do what little I can to aid in protecting them. Due process is for EVERYONE. Visit fairynerdy.etsy.com to find something you love and help me make an even bigger donation to the next cause! /🧵

But it is NOT on par with the skill it takes to create a painting, a sculpture, a novel, or a piece of music from scratch. There are people out here advertising themselves as "AI artists," but such a thing DOES NOT EXIST. 3/4

Using AI to make creative work (art, books, music, etc.) is THEFT. Typing a prompt into an AI engine DOES NOT make you an artist. Yes, knowing how to massage an AI prompt so that you get the results you want is a certain type of skill. 2/4
