“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

You know damned well that Mitler is showing him endless screenings of Blade Runner and 12 Monkeys and The Walking Dead and telling him that the boarded-up buildings are all downtown Portland.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

And yes, the crying

SO many tears during those years

I wrote my undergrad research paper (35 pages) in the day and a half before it was due, while crying

We should all tell our stories like this...mine is "the time I totally forgot about an essay and cranked out a paper on Deleuze & Guattari's Anti-Oedipus in two hours and ended up winning an award for it"

Oh, god, this was me in college

over and over and over

Because ADD/neurodivergence were not recognized, and certainly not for young women

Not only did I get an A, it brought my overall GPA up just enough that I was able to get into grad school. I have no memory of the topic whatsoever.

He's such a terrible liar, and so shameless about it

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

… nice to see folks who stayed silent for years about immigration and anti Blackness

Suddenly shocked and appalled at a professor getting got

But shh can’t say that because people can’t hold

“That human doesn’t deserve this AND this human is getting it NOW because you didn’t care THEN”

In the meantime, he has to find a way to survive. He also needs to rent a storage unit so as not to lose what remains of his belongings.

And it's going to be cold and wet out there tonight.

So if you can spare it, give here [and please share from this link]: gofund.me/aa570b01b.

Donate to Need help with bills and acquiring a storage unit., organized by Eric Nichols

Still waiting on disability, I have found myself struggling once more.… Eric Nichols needs your support for Need help with bills and acquiring a storage unit.

Some of you will remember Eric from this summer [and some of you donated then]. He has severe arthritis, then was DX'd with blood cancer. His relationship busted up. Now, he's lost his housing.

His disability hearing isn't until sometime in November.

Now, tonight's local urgent needs.

There are so, so many.

Tonight, though, I want to focus on one that's gotten dropped; absolutely no traction whatsoever.

If I could sell all three of these pieces?

We could bring the guys back next week, and have some breathing room besides.

WingsNDNSilver @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social · 1h

Also? It's a chance to score some absolutely extraordinary one-of-a-kind Indigenous wearable [and other] art, in styles you won't see anywhere else.

And I REALLY need to bring in multiple sales weekly now for us just to break even on the year.

Okay, tonight's inventory selections. There are two.

Today's featured work is a pendant built around a phenomenal ultra-high-grade black-web Kingman turquoise cabochon [shown below].

We have two cuffs set with the same type of turquoise, equally spectacular.

We were *just* able to cover this week's labor and materials.

But if I can't replicate last week's sales, at a minimum, then we'll be laying the guys off again next week.

Here, Wings has set it into a low-profile scalloped bezel edged with a filament-thin strand of twisted silver. The bail is small, simple, and lightly flared, with minimal stampwork. Ships with an 18" sterling silver snake chain.
