New Updates to Shipping/Handling and other policies

customer info etiquette FAQs psa

Here’s my latest attempt to make this as clear as possible and stave off reading comprehension problems. International Shipping *Due to importation laws that place an undue administrative and financial burden on very small e-commerce businesses, I can no longer ship to Poland, Slovakia, Germany, France, Greece, Spain, or Lithuania.* Handling Times If your order contains: Handling time is: 0 custom items 14 days 1 custom item 25 days 2 custom items 40 days 3 custom items 55 days etc. Please note: I do custom work. This is not Amazon. I handle every aspect of your order myself. I do not...

Mailing List/Newsletter

news newsletter psa

I have begun the process of revalidating the subscriber list, and newsletter emails should resume in July. You will probably get an email asking you to confirm your interest in receiving the newsletters by resubscribing to the list. These should go out over the next week or so. Newsletter subscriptions are now double opt-in, so new subscribers will get an email asking them to confirm that they do indeed want to subscribe. I’m really sorry for the extra step, but it’s just too crazy with the spambots and people forgetting they signed up or whatever. If you don’t often open my...

Public Service Announcement: Unsubscribing vs. Reporting Spam

psa

Just for anybody who doesn’t know: If you sign up to receive emails from a company or person, reporting that email as spam is one of the shittiest things you can do. You wouldn’t believe the messes it causes. It prevents that company or person from communicating with you, but it also jeopardizes their ability to communicate with the people who do want the emails. If you no longer want to hear from the person or company, please just unsubscribe instead of labeling that email spam.

Adam & Eve Root: Rant + a Crash Course in Corms

Cover image adapted from Corms by Gerrit Davidse, CC by NC SA. Breaking with my usual practice, I am NOT going to cite this source, because the whole point of this post is how incredibly freakin’ stupid it is, and in any case, what we have here is one plant-ignorant person posing as an expert and printing bullshit who has copied this misinformation from some other plant-ignorant person posing as an expert, so it’s a whole serpent-eating-its-own-tail type of mess and there’s definitely not a single guilty party to point to as an originator. [1] And my goal here is not mockery...
