Our Patreon Patrons are literally the best. We set up each tier as a subscription of cool stuff to send them each month, and in return we've been able to outfit this business and truly get a running start! This month's Patrons helped us get this fancy resin wash and cure station, which will help SO much with production - especially with my hand pain from scrubbing all those pieces! Thanks so much to everyone whose been so supportive!
The weekly restock at SwuidlyCo.com is live, including 8 new Paracord Keychain Fidget color options and 10 new pieces of Silicone Chewelry. The coolest by far is a very special set of 6 that are sparkly, glow in the dark, AND come with a matching bonus 'worry stone' heart pocket fidget! As of posting, only 3 of those sets are left!
Bitches love #Accessibility is officially our best selling sticker. It's almost like there's a massive lack of representation for disabled peoples in our country, which means a massive lack of accessibility. Weird.
Today's Shameless Self Promotion:
Our new line of silicone chewer pendants are designed BY #autistic humans FOR autistic humans. They're subtle, stylish, and are a hard departure from the bright, overly large, and ultimately infantalizing designs currently available.
#Autisticadults have so little input in our own #accessibilityaids - we want to change that.
One of the best parts of building this business and creating these products has been finding different ways to be more sustainable and eco-friendly. One of the many ways we've done that is by what I like to call 'compounded experimentation.' This piece is an excellent example of that, as it represents 3 different experiments. The first was using the plant-based Eco Resin for the first time. The second was using a UV resin safe colorant, as we have future plans for 3D Resin-printed end products. The third was to print the newest version of our design, which aims to ease the stress points we found when we made the first batch of silicone prototypes. Getting that small design adjustment right means this design will be much less likely to tear. It's amazing how much information one single small print can give us!
I get it, thunderstorms, I’m widely scattered too.
Happy first workday of 2023!
I got out my morning #adderall and set it down. Big mistake. Found it about an hour later.

Do you have a #SoyAllergy? We'd like to kmow what your favorite #SoyAlternatives are - in particular for #candles and lotion bars!
Happy 2023 Everyone! I declare this Year of the Squid in honor of our mascot, Syd (who is currently being redesigned!
Fun fact: if you're #autistic doing a sleep study is sensory hell. It may also set off a #chronicpain flare the next day so plan accordingly.
Ow.
My sweet, spoiled #cats could really care less that I have candles to label, a website to work on, and sex toys to sculpt. #cuddles over #productivity, every time.
This definitely isn't the most accurate 'tism test I've ever taken, but the colors are perty tho. #autism #actuallyautistic #audhd
Interviewer: can I get your references?
Me: *sighing* probably not; nobody else does
Fun Fact: I'm building Squidly Co. from the ground up while dealing with #chronicpain and #chronicillness, because I refuse to give up or give in to my physical limitations.
#Disabled people deserve a voice, and accessibility, and a sex life, and to find their joy.
This is who I am and why I hope you'll consider supporting Squidly Co. on #Patreon
As we build our new website, we're working hard to make it 100% #accessible, and we believe all businesses should do the same!
We'd like to thank our Patreon Patrons - current and future - for believing that #accessibilitymatters as much as we do!
