12 orders shipped, 24 more packaged within two days.

My shop is literally emptying out. I am agape at the amount of support you all have given during my friend's crisis. This will help our household tremendously. AND, as usual, 10% of these sales will still go to help my other friend too. 💙

Sometimes the universe bitch-slaps your loved ones out of the blue into one of the worst irreparable situations of their life, and all you can do is help smooth the road of their pain.

It's okay to feel daunted by a problem with no solutions. Just stay proactive, one day at a time.

Friendly reminder that this is NOT a safe space for fascists, fascist apologists, or devil's advocates.

(Typing this because I just found out that the only ASMR YouTube channel I've ever enjoyed is run by a guy who is, at best, a centrist who is fine with people defending Charlie Kirk. 💔)

These are all available in my shop at the time of this post, if you're interested in getting some nice handmade holiday presents for your besties. 🌟

I took the first photo as a joke, the second one as a callback, and the third one because it's a rule now. Next time I vend in person I might just rabidly chew the jewelry stand.

THE TABLE IS SET UP FOR TOMORROW

I REPEAT: THE TABLE IS SET UP FOR TOMORROW.

Just finished updating my new YouTube banner and my god does it feel good to make something with my own ten fingers, four eyes, and single brain. No A.I. slop in this house, thank you.

A 2 x 4 table is so much smaller than I anticipated, but I'll make it work.

165 pieces of jewelry are ready to go for my next vending event this week!

I kid you not, I just attended an art market that had the Mona Lisa made of beads.

The Mona Lisa made of beads.

I could not take a photo but I swear it was real, and it looked amazing.

I need to UP my GAME. ❤️‍🔥

It's DANGLE TIME, bay-beeeee. I wanted to be more diligent about matching the colors of the jump rings, but I don't have the correct colors in a sufficient thickness to prevent breakage.

Solution: Double them using the same overlapping method I use for Mobius spiral earrings!

🌈GOOD NEWS: The video's up and my account looks normal. It looks like all my content is safe for now.

Thank you to the people who expressed so much concern, and for explaining that it seemed to be a server-wide glitch affecting multiple content creators!

Unusual stuff since Oracle's involvement.😒
(1/5) Hey guys, TikTok is finally targeting me. Get this:

I posted a three-minute video on the history of Thanksgiving and National Day of Mourning. It was promptly put "under review".

No change during the course of over half an hour. I posted in my Stories about it, because I was annoyed.

Did you know the National Day of Mourning came into existence to protest Thanksgiving?

Specifically, after Wamsutta Frank James was forbidden from speaking at a Thanksgiving anniversary about his own people's history! Here's the original speech he'd intended to give:

Don't forget, you're not helpless! There are always ways to incorporate activism into your lives. Your money is one of the most important weapons you have.

Problem: I can't competently envision the best setup for this upcoming market.

Solution: Put the stands on the floor and the jewelry on the stands and manhandle them so there can be no doubt as to what exactly I want this to look like.

I love using the power of B E A D S to not only contribute color to the world, but to help people towards their goals. This one is for a cool person I met over TikTok who needs assistance to help their furry friend. (Not Casey, although I'm still raising money for them too.)

A content creator I greatly respect (@Rynnstar on TikTok) shared info about this excellent resource for obtaining refurbished electronics!

Get your stuff secondhand rather than contributing to the ongoing exploitation of the global south!

One of my livestream participants mentioned Vine is getting a reboot, and with this information verified I have now grown from "cautiously optimistic" to "rolling on the floor screeching in absolute disbelief".

And the best thing?! It'll be specifically anti-AI!!

Things are not over in Palestine, by the way.

Ceasefires will never stop Israel from murdering the innocent, storming refugee camps, or imprisoning children --- nor will they absolve the apartheid nightmare of a state from the atrocities it's already committed.

Introducing some of the first jewelry pieces to be officially numbered in my shop! I made these both today, right here with my own two hands, while listening to Ted Nivision dunk on a badly-animated kids movie. Thus opens a new era for my beads.

You can see them and more on ko-fi.com/zyered/shop.
