So, you bust out the saw and work on your upper body strength while cutting though over $1k of raw materials because with spite and elbow grease you can make it fit in the crucible.

Sometimes your tools screw up and instead of casting a bunch of orders plus restock for ECCC you end up with a 10oz blob of sterling that won't fit into your crucibles.

If you're traveling to the US and using a credit card, consider paying cash when shopping with artists at events!! (Or, leaving a small tip, which can help us cover fees!)

reminder for "allies" that the canary dies in the metaphor

if you have the numbers and power, and we don't, who do you think has to take charge and stop all of this from happening?

don't let us die

If the DMV said “you have one year to get a new license; here’s how to do it for free” it would still be shitty and discriminatory. But to have your license invalidated OVERNIGHT is absolutely malicious.

I'm engraving this on my next journal.

Primarily via this website, we entirely restocked and improved the art and craft room of a women's shelter.

We raised $112k for trans kids last spring on here, and $35k for immigrant kids in the fall... and we're about to raise probably somewhere in between those two amounts for @immcouncil.org next month!

I feel this so hard

THIS IS 👇 HOW IT'S DONE.......

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

I wish card processors would allow us to change the text on those screens.

I’ve also been comparing AI to asbestos and radium—technology that had a bunch of benefits but then turned out to be deadly. The only difference is we already KNOW AI is killing people and they’re shoving it into everything anyway

Making a new charm not for any specific reason or collection but just because it's so silly and fun.
Im making sterling shrimp charms. They are going to be the cutest earrings.

We talk a lot about meeting basic needs, and YES, that's critical, but it's not the only thing necessary for humans to thrive. We fight for roses, too.

Laser Joan and the Rayguns A 24 pg one shot adventure comic about an all-female rock band collecting the three stories that originally ran in DARK HORSE PRESENTS.

I just backed Laser Joan and the Rayguns on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/548...

Indeed!
We have lots of sterling charms (currently mostly DnD, Pride, Star Trek, & Sprirituality themed) and do custom ones too.
We also make sterling charms bracelets and can laser closed the rings when new charms are added to make them secure.

For sure.
My mom volunteered with the Violence Free Crisis line for something like 30 years and as a teen she & I both volunteered with thier Abby Shelter. Things to do that are creative are so important.
