I've talked a lot about our toys, and why we make them, but I figure I should explain again.

I make the toys that I want to see in the world.

I've been collecting toys for years, but those toys are so often made by or in service of corporations that want to lock up our culture and burn our planet.

So I created my own characters, started writing, mined the public domain, and started making my own toys and telling my own stories.

Stories that don't enrich some far off corporation or overstuffed capitalist, toys that are made sustainably, by people who are being paid a reasonable amount of money.

We tell stories that reflect our values, it's #CommunityMedia, and we're making toys that reflect those values too.

It's one part #anticapitalism, on part #openculture, and a small dose of #smallThings

We can't do it without your support, so if you see something you like in the toys that we make, boost it. If you want something, and you can afford it, buy it.

Ask questions, help us tell stories.

Thanks.

Bodie California State Historic Park.

Note the covered staircase on the two story wood sided building. Somebody upstairs didn't want to break their neck descending the stairs is a snow storm. Or maybe somebody did break their neck, hence the added covering. 😬 Love the addition of a little window at the top of the staircase.
