If you don’t see her for a week - just note, this is why. She’s fine, but she’s on a forced break from all socials because the internet is not a good combo with recovery so social media has been taken away until I think she’s responsible enough to have it back. (Aka not on the good-good pain meds)

There was a journalist for the Chicago Tribune at Chicago Stationery Fest a couple weeks ago, we chatted for a bit and I made it into the article! “While I was talking to Kayla Pekkala of the “small-batch” Chicago-based stationery company Tiny Werewolves…”

Make a note: Stationery is booming as we seek out more analog experiences
Stationerycore, as many call the culture, is having its moment, with devotees flocking to events such as the recent Chicago Stationery Festival in Ravenswood.

I was told tonight that when someone first met me (when people first meet me) “you don’t come across as…” -they paused- “… soft…” and you what, fair 🤣🤷‍♀️ Won’t be the last, but maybe the first I’ve heard ‘soft’ as a not descriptive I followed that up with OKAY BUT ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW ME I’M GREAT

While other brands are turning away from their queer identities and roots, we’re not going anywhere. Tiny Werewolves Analog Art & Objects: Chaotically Queer, Human-Crafted, Proudly Political #queerartist #queerowned #shopsmall #chicagoartist #socialjusticeart

Update features additional “werewolf silhouette”, the Chicago star added to the moon, removal of white banner and replaced with wave motif, simplification of less stars/dots around the logo, font update, switched colors to others already in existing pallet.

Fuck you #shopify - if you’re force retiring (basically BRICKING) a piece of equipment which when purchased in 2023 was an investment of $429, then you should at least let us trade in the old units for a discount. You know which stores are still using them based on sales. New unit w/ dock is $449.
Important update about your POS Go
We want to give you a heads-up about a change coming to your Shopify POS Go, with plenty of time to plan for it. As we invest in the next generation of mobile selling hardware, we're retiring the POS Go as a handheld device to focus our support on more powerful options built for the future of retail.
What's changing?
On May 26, 2027, the POS Go will no longer function as a mobile point of sale device. After that date, it will automatically switch into countertop mode. It will still work as a customer-facing payment terminal with a brandable checkout flow, when paired with a tablet, but your staff won't be able to carry it around the floor.
This does not impact the Shopify POS Terminal, which we will continue to support moving forward.
If mobile selling is part of how you run your store, you'll want a plan before that date. You have two great options:
Verifone Victa Mobile is Shopify's new purpose-built handheld for mobile selling, offered in partnership with Verifone, a global leader in point of sale hardware. It runs Shopify POS, accepts tap, chip, swipe, and digital wallets, and has a built-in barcode scanner. It can also be docked and used as a countertop payment terminal when paired with a tablet. It's the most direct replacement for POS Go - and a meaningful upgrade. Pricing:
$399 USD (device only) or $449 USD (device + dock). The Victa Mobile will be available soon, and we'll email you as soon as it's ready to order.
Tap to Pay on a mobile phone lets your staff run Shopify POS on a compatible iPhone or Android and accept contactless payments - no new hardware needed if you already have compatible phones. There are some limitations: no chip or swipe payments, barcode scanning is via phone camera and not a dedicated scanner, and there are transaction limits.
→ Compare your options and find the right fit

An example of how the term LGBTQ gets used in establishment media to flatten and obscure. Frank was notoriously hostile to trans rights, and wasn't particularly keen on queer communities broadly outside a swath of gentry white cis gays. The main trail he blazed was for his own power.

I just want you to know that @parkermolloy.com wants me to officially be the narrator of a sports game after I called the catcher’s gear “armor” when she couldn’t think of the word “chest plate” … and I stand by that my word choice is better.

There was literally ONE band I cared about at Lolla this year and I happened to see they announced a show at the Salt Shed this Oct and grabbed an artist presale code hours before it ended for the presale that opened TODAY. So now I’m going to see Muna at a venue that’s significantly better.
