OK so. It will be my birthday in a week! But rather than post a wish list I thought I& #39;d put up a thread of awesome indie businesses I support, and think you should too. But let& #39;s start with some charitable organisations! A THREAD:
1. @Mermaids_Gender - for the support of transgender and gender-diverse children and young people! https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/fundraising/ ">https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/fundraisi...
2. @TrevorProject - their mission is to end LGBTQ youth suicide, and you can help them out here: https://give.thetrevorproject.org/campaign/fundraise-for-trevor/c24399">https://give.thetrevorproject.org/campaign/...
3. @LGBTYS LGBT Youth Scotland - "Making Scotland the best place to grow up for LGBTI young people" AS IT SHOULD BE ahem. https://www.lgbtyouth.org.uk/ ">https://www.lgbtyouth.org.uk/">...
If you have a charity org you support, hop on and signal boost! Now let& #39;s move on to some Awesome People Who Make Awesome Things!
If you are in the UK and you appreciate really good tea, then you need the fine folks at @BirdandBlendTea in your life. https://birdandblendtea.com/uk_en/ ">https://birdandblendtea.com/uk_en/&qu...
If you are in the US and you appreciate really good tea, then have you met @FridayTea? https://fridaytea.com/ ">https://fridaytea.com/">...
And I haven& #39;t forgotten the coffee drinkers! If you& #39;re in Glasgow or can order from here, @CoffeeGlasgow is a good shout for your caffeinated needs! I& #39;m partial to their Goosedubbs blend: https://www.deargreencoffee.com/ ">https://www.deargreencoffee.com/">...
And for my friends beyond the pond, there& #39;s @FoundFamiliar - they make D&D themed blends! Try them out, rec some tasty beverages: https://foundfamiliar.com/collections/all-coffee">https://foundfamiliar.com/collectio...
Speaking of D&D, I shop at @Beholders_Gaze whenever I need (want) shiny new click-clacks. And it& #39;s a local business! https://www.beholdersgaze.com/ ">https://www.beholdersgaze.com/">...
And what good would gaming dice be without trays to roll them in? Presenting @TrayedAndTested! https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TrayedAndTested">https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/T...
Self-care is important in these times, and I find a nice scented candle is a good way to unwind. The Reading Room Candle Co. has you sorted for wonderful bookish-themed candles! https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ReadingRoomCandleCo">https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/R...
You know what else is good for self-care? Cleanliness! And why should cleanliness not also smell good, you ask? IT SHOULD. If you like scented soaps, try the Glasgow Soap Company! https://www.glasgowsoap.com/ ">https://www.glasgowsoap.com/">...
Back to the shiny things for a moment, because makers of amazing jewellery deserve love too, and personally I& #39;m a fan of @bloodymarymetal - https://bloodymarymetal.com/ ">https://bloodymarymetal.com/">...
You thought I& #39;d forgotten about books, didn& #39;t you. AS IF I WOULD. I got two excellent choices for you. First, @CategoryIsBooks! https://www.categoryisbooks.com/ ">https://www.categoryisbooks.com/">...
(With the right link this time) No list of Super Awesome People Who Sell Super Awesome Things would be complete without @PortalBookshop! https://the-portal-bookshop.square.site/ ">https://the-portal-bookshop.square.site/">...
And that& #39;s my list. Go shopping. Support some people. DO IT FOR ME. You are awesome and I thank you.
