@mayakern does skirts ranging from xs to 6xl, has done faux wrap crop tops (which were that popular that they sold out in a few days!). Is having a Halloween drop in a few days 👀

@sergle @witchvamp and @freshhotflavors have been on my watchlist for a while as well 👀

thank you for the mention!!

yes we have button-downs from XS-6X, crop tops from S-6X and skirts that fit sizes XS to either 7 or 8X depending on the design because we had a couple skirt batches where our largest size ended up a little too small

also all our skirts have pockets deep enough to fit a nintendo switch!

other shops i’d recommend: @freshhotflavors @morningwitchy @crowlines

@mayakern just scrolled through your shop and honestly; these are fucking fantastic. Do you have any future plans to do maxi length skirts?

aw thank you!

i do maxi skirt collabs with @freshhotflavors a couple times a year! im not sure if there’s anything in stock right now, but if you check there should be a whole tag just for me hehe

here's the maya maxis that are in stock + on the way (they will be here sometime next month if not sooner!)

and here's a couple of our own designs that we have in stock with fall vibes :D

Productivity has always been there

Because shockingly when people enjoy what they do (you make it enjoyable instead of just hammering on them) people WANT to do things!

THIS IS A PSA.

ASEXUAL PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ARO.

AROMANTIC PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ACE.

Thank you for your time, y'all are beautiful and valid ❤️

reblog if you're a mushroom or just hate capitalism (and mondays)

You decide how you feel about attractions and feelings you do have around romance and sex, and if it's important to you or not. You decide how you feel about all types of attraction you experience or don't, and which ones you identify with or are important experiences to you or not.

[image description: a tweet by user @indigenousAI saying

“fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug”]

I don’t know of the original poster might not be aware

but!

if you’ve been a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you can enroll into the address confidentiality program (free of cost!) and be registered to vote as an absentee voter and your name and address will not be made available for the public

it is super easy to get enrolled - the application takes like 5 minutes, but it has to be with someone who is certified to do it (most likely an advocate! try going to a family justice center in your area or calling the Attorney Generals office in your area!!!!)

ALSO : 

you don’t need to have any police reports or have a protection order to qualify!!! you just have to sign stating that you’ve been a victim of one of the aforementioned crimes.

Implicit storytelling in two tweets:

happy pride month to asexuals and aromantics and everything in between. i want each and everyone of you to know that you are loved and cherished by the community even though there are some who try to diminish us. you are a valued, important, and valid part of the lgbtqia+ community. thank you for simply existing this pride 🏳️‍🌈🖤🤍💜🖤🤍💚

aphobia is not just harmful to asexual people. it hurts everyone when society tells people they are not complete without a romantic partner. that they are aren’t a whole person if they aren’t in love and sexually desirable. people spend some of the most fulfilling parts of their lives feeling like they’re wasting that time because they aren’t in a relationship. they spend so much time looking for “the one”. time that could be spent learning, travelling, building a found family. they miss out on meaningful relationships, on soulmates, because they are told that person can’t be the most important person in their life. it devalues the support that’s found in community, it devalues the love found in friendships, it devalues the importance for living for oneself.

forgot i was reading a fic for a fandom that lacked black writers and all of a sudden i was coming out of the shower with my wet hair that smelled like strawberries stuck to my forehead and my cheeks and neck were blushing a deep red

writers shouldn't need to go on strike – but when we do, we're funny as fuck.

some of my personal faves, taken from a longer twitter thread by jenny yang. learn more about the strike here.

ID: The signs read:

[ID: meme with two panels.

Top panel: two red buttons one is labeled with: "supporting nonpartnering aros" the other is labeled with: "supporting partnering aros". There's a hand reaching out, with two fingers going to press both buttons.

Bottom panel: image of an illustrated person sticking their thumb up and smiling approvingly.

Happy International Asexuality Day to anyone who falls under the ace-spectrum, including myself 🖤🤍💜

since tomorrow is international asexuality day

shoutout to sex-favorable aces, sex-neutral aces, and sex-repulsed aces. shoutout to demis, grays, cupios, frays, and everyone else in that gray area of the asexual spectrum. shoutout to aces who are still in the closet, aces who are feeling impostor syndrome about their identity, and aces who are out and proud. shoutout to aromantic aces and romantic aces; homo and hetero and bi and pan aces and more. cis aces, trans aces, nonbinary aces...

all flavors of aces have my respect. you all are valid and you all deserve respect.

happy tuesday <33

today is the 3 year anniversary of breonna taylors murder at the hands of police. as a reminder, she was killed in a no knock swat raid. the warrant for this raid was provided under false pretenses, as the police officers lied about the suspect of their investigation having packages delivered to her house. none of the officers have been charged.
