RIP me 😭 I really wanted to launch this new FFXIV shaker charm today, bit unfortunately there was an error in production! I guess "Enough for the whole party" only means one? If you have the best static in the world, maybe? Lmao oh well, at least it's getting sorted now.

At my heart, I will always appreciate a good pun. And these pins are basically just physical objects that are also puns. Enamel puns!

I think it would be really cool if you bought yourself one of our lovely candles, or perhaps an enamel pin is more your bag? Either way, you'll be supporting a small queer business, AND you'll get a really cool trinket in the mail in a few days! It's win/win!

FANDOM RANKING! Congrats to STAR TREK for being the best seller at our @derbytranspride.bsky.social stall! Pirates performed far better than I thought they would (hell yeah!), and Splatoon surprised me too! Did you grab something from us? Remember to tag us in it!

This sucks, and I hate that we have to do it. But we're unable to ship to the EU until we figure this shit out. Yell at your MPs and MEPs, they're killing small businesses around the world with this PPWR stuff.

Due to the new EU regulations (PPWR) coming into effect on the 12th of August, we are unable to continue to ship to the EU, including ireland.

we’re a two person team, and we simply can’t afford the time or money this new regulation requires to be compliant. each EU member state has separate regulations, which would cost us hundreds of pounds a year across all the bloc.

This sucks, I know. but Until regulations change to make exceptions for “microbusinesses” like us, this is the only route we have. we can still ship to the rest of the world, and we’re popping up at markets, prides & conventions as much as we can!

if you hate this as much as i do, write to your mp/mep/whoever will listen! this is killing small business inside and outside the eu!
