Are you looking for a sign? I have signs. I have so many signs. Buy some of my many signs from Lewis-Workshop.com, and feel the warm glow that comes from supporting a small business run by a good looking stay-at-home dad with a heart of gold and a crazy dream to buy food and pay bills.

Boosts appreciated.

#Capitalism has developed many ways to exploit and extract rent from ordinary people who are trying to scratch a living on the Web. #Substack, #Etsy, #OnlyFans and many others seek to monopolise spaces and to parasitise.

It's always seemed to me that the obvious response to this was to set up a co-operatively owned Web payments system, and I've been surprised that none has emerged.

The folk at Comreadery appear to be making a serious try. It looks worth supporting.

An example of what I mean: I looked on Etsy for some animal candle molds, and literally got the same factory made stuff that was being advertised with the same photo, from dozens of supposedly unique "shops."

This article has it all wrong.
sherwood.news/business/etsy-ha

What Etsy did was break its own model to allow numerous "shops" selling the same factory made crap onto a site that was supposed to be only for artisans & hand-crafted items. Why? Greed. More "stuff," more clicks, they thought.

And many artisans and a lot of customers voted with their...keyboards, and went elsewhere.

BTW: One alternative is the Artisans Cooperative: artisans.coop/

The #Framework Laptop 13 is a slightly unusual size and aspect ratio. So, instead of getting a case that "kind of" fits, I had one custom made from this great #Canadian artist from #Quebec on #Etsy who specializes in making things from kimono fabrics. This is my second one from them and the quality of both is excellent. If you are in the market for a new case, please give their shop a look:
