  • Details
    Research in sexology, including the Kinsey reports, reveal that being queer is far more common than people thought. Cross-cultural and animal studies reveal that queerness is widespread and normal. Same-sex behavior has been documented in over 450 species of animals, from bats to bedbugs. In fact, Petter Bøckman said, “No species has been found where this behavior has not been shown to exist, with the exception of species that never have sex at all.” There are several human cultures where more than two genders are recognized. In short, sexual orientation can’t be changed. Things like conversion therapy do not work; approaches like this are unethical and cause harm. Rather than trying to change sexual orientation, many could do a lot to help queer communities and individuals by validating gender identity, helping deal with the difficulties that modern society creates, and supporting.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I go about ordering?

    Subscribe to my site! I send a reminder email the day of an update! Every month I update the shop once or twice. These items become available for purchase at a specific date and time which is announced via Instagram and Etsy with ample time for folks to be ready. Most mugs tend to sell out within the hour. It is best to be on the website a few minutes prior to the update release time.

    When do you have auctions?

    Designs that are in high demand but limited will often be auctioned on Instagram. These auctions are not announced and happen randomly. I list the item with guidelines and timeframe on a post through Instagram. Buyer must have a PayPal account and Instagram account to participate.

    Do you take reserves?

    Rarely. Because of fairness. I only take reserves under special circumstances. You at least have to be a returning customer, and have left a review in the past when you did order. Each circumstance varies, and it is up to me to say yes or no.

    Do you take commissions or customs?

    Rarely. This year I’m accepting a *limited* number of custom requests during the first weeks of April and October. Folks can contact me via Etsy during these months with their idea or an image of a design I’ve already created, and if selected, pricing and listing discussions will begin via email.

    Why are your prices high?

    Because it takes weeks to complete a mug. Because I work mainly in high quality porcelain. Because my work is highly detailed. All hand-carved. Because I’m a one-woman show. Because I value and love myself. Because I’m worth it. If you think my prices are too high, my work is not for you.
