•••Dont Tell Me to Smile•••

Requests for smiles may seem harmless to some, but they’re often considered to be in line with catcalling, unwelcome gestures and other kinds of harassment, says Kimberly Fairchild, an associate professor of psychology at Manhattan College who researches street harassment. In the worst cases, commands to smile can escalate into scarier situations. But even when a command to smile is just that, Fairchild says there can be a “cumulative effect” if it happens often, as it can in urban areas. “Those things can accumulate in terms of more self-objectification. They can accumulate in terms of making women feel uncomfortable and unsafe being out in public places.”

Darling Homebody

Darling Homebody is a small business by Chicago artist Nicole Jakus, offering original stickers, pins, prints and gifts for sweet and salty goths, gays, girls and theys. With the intention of allowing people to create a space where being your authentic self is not only encouraged, but also inspirational for others to do the same.

If you don't already know, my name is Nicole (She/Her) and I live in Chicago with three hairy roommates, my cats Socks & Butter and my boyfriend James. The art that I make is usually either very cute or a little spooky and sometimes my weird sense of humor ends up showing through (especially with some of the item descriptions that I’ve been coming up with lately). It really just boils down to whatever inspires me and makes me excited to share with other people. I think the hardest part about transitioning from hobby to business was resisting the urge to just give everything away for free to people who shared my enthusiasm. Because that’s what keeps me going, the fact that other people can relate to and also find joy in what I create even though they weren’t actively a part of the creation process. My goal is to one day live off of my art and I will keep trying until that dream comes true. Please join me in this journey, any amount of support makes a big difference!
