i’m begging you to stop leaving 1 star reviews on small businesses shops because of shipping times that are completely out of their control. please contact usps if you’re having issues with tracking, but be kind to them as well. everyone’s doing the best they can

bad reviews can make or break a sale and people expect small business owners to operate like multi billion dollar companies - it’s really unfair. so please, contact the seller or the usps, but remember we are all humans working through a pandemic. please be patient and kind

gentle reminder that small businesses are usually a 1 man show, which means we handle: product design, marketing, quality checking, packaging, shipping, and customer service. these are all things that big companies have dedicated teams for PER department. please be kind

social media becomes a lot more sinister when you realize it’s a bunch of big companies profiting off of your free posts. and they reward you or punish you depending on how consistent you are with using their algorithms

i’ve been talking ab it a lot but am i the only one that’s completely terrified of how instagram is pushing a very unhealthy relationship w social media by promoting ur content the more you use their site? like little 2 no visibility unless you’re using the app for hours a day?

gentle reminder that you do not have to post on social media 6 times a week if you do not want to. forcing yourself to push out content will lead to burnt out, exhaustion, and lower quality of work. please do not feel pressured to post to grow your following if you mentally cant
