I make little money from selling dildo straps. It’s not how I make a living. I still call myself a dildo strap maker.

How disconnected are you from folks at his level?

Axios: “Starting with their launch video last August, Platner and his team billed him as an oyster farmer — a title most of themedia, including Axios at times, repeated without scrutiny.

But as early as August, he told ideologically friendly outlets that he makes little money from selling oysters and it's not how he makes a living.”

@TracketPacer You sorta tune them out after a while. I did get got by one about 4 months ago tho. Sneaky bastard sounded like a customer, so I replied and now they’ve moved to an aggressive pitch campaign that’s been hard to block.

Saw this kraken looking thing when I was browsing r/baddragon and my first reaction war this meme. I’m still making the best dildo mount on the market more affordably and less finickly than the rest. Still $23. Still handmade in Maine.

[20spoons @20spoons]

We tried to warn folks the last time they did these types of things. Sorry you’re here

[20spoons @20spoons]

Welcome to the fan club. They destroyed the sex toy companies a couple years ago and still can’t get rid of the China slop that gets around it. And even with your own site, you lose the related perusers browsing thru Etsy. I haven’t come close to following that natural revenue

TLDR: Don't start an Etsy shop. They suck even worse than before.

So, we were going to shut down our Etsy shop after the Christmas season, but it seemed like they tweaked their algorithm and we were getting shown to plenty of folks, so we kept it open, just didn't promote it since our main hub is the website now. Everything was going well, so we just kept fulfilling orders.

But I truly do feel like this is the end of our journey on the platform.

Recently, we have been getting tons of death threats and straight up vulgar messages, because there are people who get very offended by the things we make. We have tried reporting these people in the past, and the threats keep coming, even from folks we have reported.

So, this last one really got under my skin and I snapped back. I let the guy know that he fucked with the wrong one, and it seems like either he, or Etsy's new AI nanny saw my messages and I got reprimanded, with Etsy locking down my messages until I reviewed the ToS, and agreed not to do it again.

BUT, what Etsy doesn't tell you is that when this happens, you also get "de-ranked" in their algorithm. We went from selling 30+ items a day to 1, and it started the same hour that we got that message from Etsy. As much as I hate this type of algorithmic punishment, there is literally nothing I can do about it. The only thing I can do is shut down our shop, so they can't make any more money from us, and warm people to not set up shops on their platform. I used to be a huge advocate of the platform, and suggested tons of folks to start stores there. I can't do that anymore in good conscience.

If they shut me down, a shop with 25k sales, 5 start ratings across the board and perfect customer service stats (set by Etsy themselves), they will do it to you too. Instead of using their platform and giving them money to continue to do all the shit they do on a daily basis to sellers, just build your own site, build a community, and give a huge FUCK YOU to companies like Etsy.

I’ve kept the prototype of the first one I made for my wife. She doesn’t use it anymore, so I can share.

This is the cavern prototype. The basic gist is I hid two pockets in the rim of the bag and some pals in the interior for customizing loads and keeping them from the clutter

[20spoons @20spoons]

Caught a @tweetney_chan post over on Reddit and damn, we can hold that for you. No need to worry about it moving while you’re working. We can custom make a strap to whatever size you need.

450 children a year used to die in the U.S. from swallowing pills they found at home. The morning-after pill weighs less than a raisin, and its pack is the size of a chocolate bar. That annoying oversized design is the main reason the death count dropped to 33.

I looked into this because the waste really bothered me. Turns out the U.S. passed the Poison Prevention Packaging Act in 1970 specifically because of those deaths. By 2005, child-resistant packaging had brought the annual number down to 33. The Consumer Product Safety Commission credits designs like blister packs with saving around 700 kids' lives since the '70s. That foil you push through with your thumb is slow and annoying on purpose. A toddler's fingers can't do it.

The packaging also keeps the pill alive. Blister packs made with aluminum foil block roughly 259 times more moisture per day than regular plastic, based on pharmaceutical packaging tests. That matters because the hormone in Plan B (called levonorgestrel) breaks down when it gets wet or too hot. The FDA says it needs to stay between 68 and 77°F, away from moisture. You might toss this in your nightstand and forget about it for two years. That foil seal is the reason the pill still works when you finally need it at 2 am on a Sunday.

The card is also that big because of labeling laws. The government requires the drug name, dose, instructions, and expiry date printed directly on the blister card, separate from the outer box. The card needs enough flat surface to fit readable text next to a single tiny pill. Manufacturing specs also require at least 2.5mm of sealed border around each pill pocket to keep the foil from peeling apart.

I went looking for the waste data next, and yeah, it's bad. Researchers in Germany measured pharmaceutical blister cards and found that 69% of the material is literally just the gap between pill pockets. Germany alone throws out roughly 8,533 tons of this stuff every year. The WHO estimates the entire pharmaceutical industry produces around 300 million tons of plastic waste annually, half of it single-use. And blister packs, plastic fused to aluminum, can't be recycled. No facility can pull those layers apart.

The German researchers also found something frustrating: just rearranging where the pill pockets sit on the card, using the same machines, same materials, same everything, would cut that waste by 37%. No new tech needed. Nobody has done it.

So the packaging is big for three real reasons: child safety, drug stability, and legal text requirements. All of those are legit. The part that actually deserves criticism is that this blister pack design hasn't changed in any meaningful way since the 1960s, and a 37% waste reduction has been sitting in a published paper, collecting dust, while billions of these packs end up in landfills every year.
