A friendly reminder that I have some fantastic jewelry for sale, if you're looking for a lovely gift for someone this holiday season! Thread starts here with pictures of everything - there might be one or two things already sold so please email at [email protected] if anything interests you!
First, a few pendants (plus one set), all in copper! I love working in copper because I think it oxidizes quite appealingly. It also has some antimicrobial properties! The leaf is $35, the spider set is $50, and that beautiful rattlesnake is $75

Everyone needs to hear this.

- You don’t need that new TV, the old one is fine
-You don’t need that new phone, the old one is fine
-You don’t need more clothes you don’t wear / only wear once
-etc.

Sit out this Holiday season & the 0.1% will find so many “impossible things” are suddenly possible.

“But that will ruin the holidays!”

Make something, write something, go spend a day together without phones…

There are so many free things that have become priceless.

Let your presents this year be ‘being present’

I was supposed to go to London for work last week but that fell though and now my source of income for this month is now gone as I am currently on a slight furlough until I can get another freelance gig coming my way.

I'm in dire straights and could really use the help.

Because they won’t do it himself—I’M BLASTING THE FUCK OUT OF THIS.

@walle132.bsky.social is in need of some mutual aid to cover some expenses and survival needs. I’d be here for days trying to encapsulate how beautiful of a person WallE is, but please consider helping if you can. 🖤

Woah!

Ontario passed a law starting Jan 2026 that it is illegal for companies to ghost you.

If you have interviewed for a job they are legally required to inform you if they hire someone else or close the position.

The law also requires salary transparency on listings and disclosing use of AI

Thank you to those of you masking at PAXU. It is a principled, beautiful act of solidarity with each other 💛

& those of you not masking? Know that I see you and think less of you for it. Refusing to take COVID precautions in 2025? At a convention?? Embarrassing

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
