I see waaay too many of my fellow creators putting shippable items in $40-70 tiers for physical merch and not only does this ignore how volatile shipping and handling is but it lowballs your overall margin to pay for the labor. It'll hurt your bottom line, esp since our wares are made overseas.

These tariffs are designed to injure us. I dont know a way out of this other than to raise your prices where appropriate.

If you're in indie-animation, know that you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of your workers. Our ships can't survive on vibes alone.

It messes me up the most how all of this is happening right as I'm beginning my journey here with wanting to accomplish having merch and maybe even physical copies of my webcomic work to sell someday.

I feel like it's being taken from me before I've even started.

I'm just going to stick to smaller animation shorts for now

It is horrifying to see it starting to happen; I can only hope people are okay and able to live well enough
