I make things that are loudly queer because I have been the beneficiary of loud queerness. I have been the beneficiary of people unabashedly being who they are. I have been the beneficiary of people joyously and raucously refusing to compromise themselves, and the beneficiary of people who have spoken to me, at their own risk, when they could see that I needed to see people like myself. Creating queer art and merch is literally the only way that I can pay back people whose name I may not even know, but taught me that it was ok to be myself.

It doesn't take having a huge sphere of influence, or being well known. The people who helped me on my journey were, for the most part, people I met out in the wild. People in airports, at concerts, in parks and stores. People who might not even know how much they affected me, who did the right thing in the moment simply by existing, unafraid.

That's why I make these things that I do. And that's why I'm throwing this sale. Yes, this is ad copy. Yes, I'm pitching stickers and keychains- they won't change the world, they won't stop global warming, they aren't a solution to the systemic issues that we all face right now. But they were made as an expression of queer joy. Most of the world's problems are caused by humorless individuals who take everything deadly serious. Sometimes being joyous is dangerous, and sometimes something small can give people the hope to try. It did for me.
