If you just learned (or are just now learning) that Sticker Mule is run by a hardcore Maga guy, and would like an alternative, may I suggest Sticker Ninja? They are a small but mighty Portland local company and their quality is much, much better than Mule anyway. Their glitter stickers are especially great. They have actual humans doing careful prepress work on your design - one of them is a friend of mine and she's a real pro.

@mrcompletely good to know! We have used sticker mule in the past. Not any more!
@mrcompletely Shame Unixstickers (popular with various FOSS projects) uses Sticker Mule 😞

@mrcompletely

Thanks, next time my charity needs stickers I'll order from here instead of Sticker Mule

@mrcompletely Do they do keychains? That's been my most common purchase from stinker mule
@SkipHuffman I don't think so, but you can get them from another of the digital print services I bet

@mrcompletely Didn't realize how far the reach of SM was.

I'm seeing so many people post about this. and I'm not even on many social networks.

Just not how I do business. And I won't be giving them any more of my business.

@mrcompletely thank you, bookmarked. I had not done business there but was contemplating it.
@mrcompletely I read the sticker mule thing and thought "Ooh! That's right! I do need to order some stickers!" And immediately went looking for someone else to order from.

@mrcompletely I'm rather fond of Seatthole, also in the U.S. Northwest.

"Will you print dirty words on my shirts?

Sure. Nobody has sent us a design yet that we wouldn’t print. This isn’t a challenge, it’s just a fact. We reserve the right to refuse service, but you’d have to get pretty crass before we’d exercise that right. "

@mrcompletely Thanks for this. I did not know. Couldn’t have been more timely as I have an order in my cart and was going to check out this evening. Won’t be placing that order & will check out Sticker Ninja instead.
@mrcompletely Had no idea until I got the email today. It’s wild. We used them for our wedding and honestly the product was pretty poor anyway. Will absolutely use and recommend Sticker Ninja in the future.
@mrcompletely @sbisson I know you were thinking about alternatives.
@mrcompletely I’ve not ordered from them, but the company I work for shares a building with them, and the stickers they give away in their sticker bin are excellent quality, and they seem extremely great.
@mrcompletely if you're closer to the middle of the country, I can also suggest Sticker Giant. I used to live within 20 minutes of their HQ and would pick up my stickers in person. They seem cool.
@North @mrcompletely I interviewed with them for a job and can vouch for how cool everyone I talked to was

@thomas_mock

With all due respect, I am against not buying a product because of the political ideas of the maker. Imagine if I tried to convince people to stay away from the tidyverse because I do not share the political ideas of Hadley (no idea of what they are). Is this the path we want to follow? I am not an American citizen eligible to vote, so this is not a pro Trump or pro anyone post.

@larry77 @thomas_mock The problem with that stance in particular when dealing with american politics is due to relatively recent legal changes corporations have unlimited access to political support of candidates. So you may not like it but support of a business here is implicit political support now for their political stance. Just most corporations here like playing both sides so usually its not a clear choice like this one.

Its not a good change. But its the way of things now.

@larry77 If they were the private beliefs of Anthony Constantino, that would be one thing. But Constantino is using the pulpit of Sticker Mule to send an email to customers encouraging them to buy a shirt that "shows you support Trump". That's not Constantino expressing support of Trump, that's *Sticker Mule* supporting Trump.
@mrcompletely Agree, I've used Sticker Ninja and been happy with the result.
@mrcompletely I noticed their team page talking about their prepress work, nice to have a personal connection and recommendation as well!
@andypiper yep - I have a lot of professional graphic design and experience sending complex print jobs to printers, so I know a serious prepress person when I talk to one. They can handle things that are at the highest degree of difficulty, like subtle alpha channel gradients and precisely aligning multiple layers with fine detail

@mrcompletely I this message on their site means that lots and lots of folks are giving up on the mule guy.

I'll try again, on another day :)

@kristinHenry that's two days in a row
@mrcompletely that's fantastic! I'll have to get my order in earlier in the day. I can wait :)
@mrcompletely I'll definitely check it out! Another great shop for inexpensive black/white stickers is https://stickerguy.com. No affiliation with the shop, they just make a quality product.
Sticker Guy! High quality custom stickers, low prices!

@mrcompletely I've not (yet) been a customer of them, I'm a fan of the quality of Sticker Giant https://www.stickergiant.com/ , based on the stickers made by them that Software Freedom Conservancy gives out. And they're local (to me) in Longmont, CO.

@lukeshu sticker giant is the second most nominated service in the discussion generated on this topic and it def seems like they have a great rep

@mrcompletely nice, sticker.ninja redirects to stickerninja.com 👌🏾

I was thinking "missed opportunity using .com but maybe .ninja was taken" so I tried 😄🤓

@mrcompletely Just an update that I used Sticker Ninja for this round of stickers and they came out great! 🤩
