Rascalvideo LLC is a transman who uses social media and my small business to raise funds for my top surgery. He sells stickers, prints, ceramics, and shirts at markets. Online they make content about my trans experience, parenting, politics, random thoughts, and gaming. You can find them as on all social media platforms and support him on their GoFundMe here: https://gofund.me/6b3ff4c61.

Home Is Where the Yarn Is creates crocheted goods such as accessories, bags, stuffed animals, etc. She creates LGBtQIA+ themed/colored items that may be hard to find otherwise, such as customized LGBTQIA+ flag bags. You can support this small business on Facebook with the same name.

You can check out these vendors and more on May 30th!
