Dear friends,
After three years, Sanctuary Wyrd is closing its doors. We wanted this place to be a sanctuary for people who feel out of place and weird and need people around them who accept them as they are. I believe that it has been a complete success in that regard!
Unfortunately the talents I have in abundance do not include marketing, or knowing what things people want to buy, or listening to people who do, or charging full price, or charging at all. And that can kinda work in an okayish economy, but this year has been fu***ng rough.
Bradley has been working his ass off this whole time because this place kinda just barely pays for itself sometime. This isn’t anything he’d ever say or acknowledge at all in fact he might ask me to delete this bit but I won’t. Because although I’m the face you probably see when you come here, Bradley has been putting his labor in to this place for all of us who love it here and I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for that.
Bradley’s big thing has always been the markets and we hope that those will continue (perhaps in December), so if you’ve done a market with us before please be on the lookout for a message or email from him. Our next event that we are putting our energy into is the 6th Anual Basin Pride Festival! We’d love to see all the vendors we’ve gotten to know out at Pride this year! See comments.
We will be open 12-6 tue-sat through the last week of October so please come by and buy some stuff from us! We will be having big sales and it’s the right time to ask if you’ve ever seen anything in here you wanted and i said was not for sale!
I’ll also probably give you free stuff cause I’m like that.
We may have a closing party we’re not quite sure yet, so keep an eye on the page. We will also continue to sell tea and maybe a few more things on our website once we get it together so keep an eye out for that too.
Personally I will continue to be involved with the organizations and groups that have called sanctuary wyrd home over the years and I invite you all to follow Basin Pride, Out in West Texas, PFLAG Midland-Odessa, Odessa Organized and get involved with and volunteer with these groups. It is a time for building our neighborhoods and communities in the best ways we can to take care of each other.
Follow me on twitch and YouTube I’m gonna be fu***ng around on those making existentialist horror projects and tradwife content.
I’ll also be more active on here. One of the balances I have been trying to strike is how to keep this place safe and one of the things I’ve done is be personally quiet in social media as a result of my fears that this place might be attacked if I speak my mind too loudly. With this place closing down and out of the equation, I can see that is my own personal fear that something will happen to me and mine if I speak. And that’s a bu****it excuse. This s**t is happening and everyone who isn’t at the very least speaking out is a coward. Or oblivious I guess. Which is a cowardly choice. I’m gonna quit being a coward.
Thank you all for going on this journey with us and beating a part of our lives. I love you. Free Palestine. Abolish Ice.
