While I have enjoyed creating here in the past, I'm not sure I will be back. Artists, which the owners claim to be, are supposed to stand for something. They're the ones we look to for understanding and inspiration when times are tough (hello, 2020).

I have periodically checked their social media and website presence - absolutely nothing has been posted in support of pride month, Black and brown lives (Black history month, Asian Pacific history month, Indigenous history month, Latinx history month), their role in community outreach/impact, etcetera.

But we've all been made aware on how we can continue to support them financially "during these trying times".

Silence in the face of violence is the antithesis of artistry. The BIPOC and POC who come in and support your business deserve better. Your community deserves better. .
