  1. What “Building Your Platform” Actually Costs Disabled and Neurodivergent Creators

    Accessible platform building for disabled creators comes with hidden costs that mainstream advice consistently ignores. This article examines the real barriers disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent creators face when attempting to build an online presence, including the often-overlooked expenditure of energy, the physical and cognitive toll of standard content creation demands, and why conventional platform-building strategies fail to account for bodies and brains that operate differently. Rather than offering generic productivity tips, the discussion centers on honest, grounded insight into what sustainable visibility actually requires for those navigating chronic illness, disability, or neurodivergence, and why the conversation around creator success needs to expand beyond assumptions of unlimited time, energy, and neurotypical capacity.

  2. Are you a Twitch Affiliate and also on SSI? I’m trying to understand how having both works. Were you able to stay on SSI, and what was your experience like? Any insight is appreciated!

  3. Why Textbook Productivity Advice Fails Disabled and Neurodivergent Creators

    Mainstream productivity advice often overlooks the unique needs of disabled and neurodivergent creators, assuming stable energy and executive function. This leads to ineffective methods that can cause burnout and frustration. Instead, embracing flexibility, sensory awareness, and non-linear workflows can support sustainable creativity, allowing individuals to thrive authentically and meaningfully.

  4. The 20€ sale picked up the first week of September, but no one's bought anything since. Now I'm wondering if I should continue the sale until I'm cleared out of current inventory like I'd planned, or if I should limit such a massive pennies-an-hour sale to just one month.

    After all, I don't want it to stick around so long it looks like "the norm".

    Hmm... Yes, I think the absurdly-low-wage sale will have to end when the spooky times begin.

    So, if you'd like to take advantage of that, please peruse my squishy wares on the @coopartisans marketplace! I want more space in the corner I have for my inventory.

  5. This is the oldest item in my shop. I made it in 2021 and had it up for sale briefly on ko-fi. My first sale was another bag just like it. It's followed me from Germany to the US and then back to Germany again in the chaos of the last few years of my life. There are pictures of it in progress in the $3 pattern you can also find on my storefront. I'm not sure if I'll sell any more like it because of how small it is relative to the time it takes to make (maybe just by request).

    I'll be overjoyed to have found it a home now that it's on sale with the rest of my wares for 20€ ($22.11).

    IMPORTANT NOTE ON SHIPPING: This bag is big enough that it will go into the 25$-to-the-US-and-Canada shipping range, but it's small enough that if you decide to buy, say, four waffle bags and a penguin, they could all squish into the same box and I only have to spend/charge you that shipping once. Do with that information what you will!

    Please buy if you're interested and share if you're not~ ❤️✨🧶

  6. Maybe someday I'll have a Patreon where you're given access to any patterns I make and... Idk, maybe 25% off commissions once a month? I think I'd enjoy trying that. Still got work to do before I'm there.

    Anyway, here's where the current cat is at. I've had to take a break because of a really bad carpal tunnel flare up, but it's getting there.
