Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day, & Ramen to my Pastafarian friends!
How, precisely, mail gets from the Hispaniola to the Revenge, I can't truly say.

How about referring them doing the opposite as Vice Signaling?

Really they're projecting their own guilt; if you talk a big game about Liberation, but don't mask up in public spaces, that inaction betrays how little inconvenience they think our lives are worth!

For #DisabilityPride Day, the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, here is my seal design #300; the #DisabilityPrideFlag!
Like on my LGBTQ+ Pride Flag design, I used texture patterns in lieu of colors.
Preorder now on my Etsy store!
lightbringerdesigns.etsy.com/listing/4341...
Angled view of a Disability Pride Flag wax seal with a variety of texture patterns to convey different colors, a gray rectangle with 5 diagonal stripes. The corners have a square texture, stripes are circles, diagonal slashes, flat & very thin, jagged triangles, and large diamonds.

Nice snug fit for all the parts on the supply side of my version of a #DentalMask!
This is an improvised, nose-only PAPR to provide P100 filtered air when you're at the dentist or otherwise need to have your mouth open, especially when others in the room refuse to wear N95s. ⬇️

Duct tape is like The Force - it has a light side, a dark side, & it holds the universe together!
Carry 3' of it in your wallet with this emergency roll & you'll always be prepared to Fix Stuff.

An emergency supply of duct tape, folded down to wallet-size. Photo includes a credit card & $20 bill for scale, & the parent roll of 3M brand tape. Close up of the tape to show that the roll is a bit smaller than a credit card, so it will fit in a wallet slot. Closer up of the tape roll to show it's small enough to hide inside a folded cash bill, so you could hide it inside a billfold.

I'm living on savings that are dwindling fast; capitalists have no interest in a man who will need to sick-out more than almost-never, so I need your support.
I help out whoever I can within the limit of my skills & 🥄s, & hope for enough 💰 to item my head above water.
ko-fi.com/lightbringer...
While I'm not the bragging type, it's necessary here to explain what you're supporting by buying me a cuppa, subscribing would be 💯. I helped a comrade with a car issue this weekend; she's disabled, the car is in rough shape, needed a jump start to move it, messy situation beyond my business to share details. Probably took half an hour with another friend, & tools I always have in the trunk. Before that, I helped my church break down pallets damaged by a fallen tree (long story). I can't afford to give them 💵, but I'm glad to volunteer my skills & tools. I do a lot more things like this than I remember to share here, it's a lifetime habit, going back to the Boy Scouts. Now, though, I need your 💰 to keep that car running & a roof over my head so that I'm able to help others.

Added my #LongCovidAwareness seal to the filter on my respirator for 1500 on the 15th!
This fits over a 3M filter #7093, P100 rated (that's even better than N95).

We use a blue ribbon, or a gold infinity symbol - because the chemical symbol for gold is Au.
My Infinity seal has 7 stripes of different texture patterns because a rainbow-colored infinity is used for Neurodiversity Acceptance more broadly. ⬇️

5-star reviews are wonderful, but you really know your doing something right when customers keep coming back for more!
Big thanks to a very special customer for their 5th XL order - that's 45 sticks of #SealingWax in 9 colors; over twice as much as their previous order.

To make your own Companion Cube, print both of these at the same size on opposite sides of card stock so they line up & cut on the lines with an Xacto knife.
The red side is bigger than the pattern side so alignment doesn't need to be perfect.

This was by far the most difficult seal I've ever made - these are the rejects.
Melting 3 colors together is always tough to do well, even more so when one is black so it's much harder to photograph.
But the most annoying part is that I don't have teal #SealingWax - I had to make it!
The seal from the first photo, surrounded by 6 more seals in the same colors & stamp, but with different patterns of the color mixing, & some are very lopsided.

Heading in a large, aggressive font: Friends Don’t Let Friends Breathswap Barefaced Center: line-art image of an N95 mask On the left side: Do you drive drunk? Speed in school zones? Ignore stop signs & red lights? On the right side: Then why is it OK to swap unfiltered air with strangers? All of these endanger yourself & others! Footer: Billionaires still spend LOTS of money protecting THEMSELVES from SARS-COV-2; THEY have air filters & FarUVC lamps, make guests take PCR tests, & their personal staff wear N95s. A whole lot more people were disabled by Long COVID & left to rot since 2020 than earned their way into the 1% by selling their own labor! ko-fi.com/lightbringerdesigns

Hang one of these on your door to tell everyone to #MaskUp before they come in!
