It would be so helpful if you could RT my post above about my Etsy shop. I haven't been able to work for more than half the year due to severe depression/a breakdown. If you see this & could spare a few moments for a RT it would help me put my designs in front of a few more eyes. Thankyou so much🌿

@levparikian.bsky.social a little treat for you on the radio Scotland Out of doors radio show this morning. It's in the first half hour of the show. Swiftness at a rescue place.

Just giving this a bump for no reason at all.
This is going to sound incredibly earnest and preachy but fuck it.

Support creative people. Buy their stuff. Share it on here. Music, art, words, whatever. Things made by humans for humans.

If you could retweet my tweet below linking to my Etsy shop (2025 half calendars, July-Dec) it would put my shop in front of more eyes and would help more than you know. I'd appreciate it so much. Thankyou 🌿
My Etsy shop's now open for a v. limited print run of half calendars of my tiny posy & botanical photos.
I design my photos using recent neuroscientific research so that looking at them alleviates stress & lift mood.
Each calendar=6 very high quality frameable prints:
